Thanks for the thread.

Sessions just did a great job, now for the "Swimmer"

Here's the man you need to contact:

John Boehner, Majority (not for long if this keeps us) Leader of the House, who announced his impending plans to complete the sellout of this country in the Washington Post:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/28/AR2006032801665.html

House Majority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) said that he hopes the Senate will pass what he called "a responsible border security bill," but he indicated he is willing to rethink the House approach. After meeting with ranchers and law enforcement officers on the U.S.-Mexican border, Boehner said those living on the frontier did not believe the House-passed border wall would work.

"If the people on the border don't believe that the wall will have the effect that people here think, then we ought to reconsider it," he said.

Boehner also said he knows of no promises that House GOP leaders have given to anti-immigration firebrands to block House consideration of a guest worker program.

- end quote -

Boehner, a big business Republican, seems intent to designate negotiators for the House who will cave into the Senate amnesty provisions and ensure fat donations to Boehner for years to come from big business. If you wish to do whatever you can to stop this treason, contact Boehner now.

I'm sorry, I can't watch. They all make me sick.

[brytlea]

I have not done alot of contacting (I'm not very eloquent) however I'm going to start. So, do they really read faxes or is it better to email, or what? Anyone know?

Listening to this drunk just makes me wanna puke......Truly astounding and completely inconceivable how this "thing" of a man keeps getting elected and re-elected from the state of Mass...Speechless..

[Bahbah]

Teddy says we didn't do any enforcement (we know that). Then he says enforcement only just drove them deeper into the desert. He makes no sense at all.

[sheana]

go to www.numbersusa.com and you can fax for free.
go to www.congress.org and you can send emails. They also give you all the phone numbers to call.

I do all of the above ;)
Go for it!

Where's Jesse and the NAACP been?

You would think they would be fighting Mexican illegals for jobs for their constituency?

Live Thread Ping!

Thanks, TomGuy.

Kennedy calls 'undocumented immigration' a disease. [hmmmm] He blames Congress for not facing up to the crisis earlier.

[Did Teddy K just arrive in Washington? or did he just wake up? or did he just sober up? IIRC, Kennedy was the one responsible for the last Amnesty for Illegals bill.]

Now he calls it a 'humanitarian crisis'.

[76834]

Agree, and think:

He is probly the better of the two.

Amazing.

[umgud]

Mail a handwritten letter for the most impact.

Great. I turn on my TV and I get Senator Splash. This is not debate. This is morning business. When they start "debate," they will be talking about lobbying reform. This is just an extra opportunity for bloviation.

[GrandEagle]

I hate that I missed the discussion. I have written Jeff Sessions about this issue and am awaiting an answer. If you have the time, what was his stated position in the discussion?

Cordially,
GE

So, do they really read faxes or is it better to email, or what? Anyone know?

Fax or letter...hard copy paper wins out in these instances; email is probably only "categorized" (and likely not even read) at best.

[spectre]

The Illegals are going to build an Icon to worship Kennedy after this speech he is giving...

Wonder if the girl sitting behind him has her green card?

I wonder which of the Senators we could get to blow this up and display it while they speak for enforcement?

This is an outrage. Act now. Demand all funding be cut off to California's Montebello High-----the school that allowed illegals to disrespect America and desecrate our flag.

Whittier area students from Pioneer, California and Whittier high schools walked out of classes to protest the proposed federal immigration bill March 27, 2006. The protestors put up the Mexican flag over the American flag flying upside-down at Montebello High. (Leo Jarzomb/Staff photo)

Senators are talking in morning business. No later than 10:50 AM, debate will change to the lobbying reform bill.

[brytlea]

Thank you. I have free long distance (well, I pay for it, but you know what I mean, it doesn't cost per call) so I don't mind faxing. I just want to do what will make the biggest impact!
