This would be the end of this country. WOT would be lost, too. We have to defeat this bill. Here is my list:
1: Presidential candidates (esp Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson) needs to lead the public fight aggressively.
2: Pelosi needs (well, wants) 70 republican votes in the House. Make sure this won’t happen. Call and fax your rep.
3: House republicans can shut down the House.
4: If everything else fails, ask a pledge from House republicans: “If Bush does not veto amnesty bill, we will support troop withdrawal and impeachement”. This forces Bush to veto it.
If you have better ideas, please speak up soon. Next week it is too late.

It doesn't make much sense to ask soldiers to risk their lives to defend a Country that no longer exists.
Every Republican who considers this a sell-out should, within the next week (the quicker the better) change his party affiliation from “Republican” to anything else.
McCain’s F-bomb retort to Cornyn over immigration proves that he’s a loose cannon and a latter day Captain Queeg.
All he needs is the ball bearings to roll in his hand.

Buh bye, Johnny.
Conservatives will never, ever trust you.
This is why no senator will be elected POTUS, thankfully - look at the cast, both parties.
Fred supporters won’t like this, but it’s a fatal flaw.
Yeah right. Defeat the bill - yes - but practice political terrorism against our President over this bill - uh no.
Why can’t we start sending illegals back? There is no reason to feel guilty about that, its enforcing the law. All 12 million illegals do not have to go back at one time.
The liberal unions and Soros will foot the $5K for their illegal alien/ “Z Visa” recruits.
Fred supporters won’t like this, but it’s a fatal flaw.
I wouldn't bet against Fred. The three usual suspects are unlikely make it through the primaries.
Your plan was stupid. Zero Congressmen would do what you suggested which is to threaten to deny funds to the troops and threaten impeachment. Get a grip.
No the model for defeating this is the Dubai Ports deal. We are hearing people on the left are not exactly thrilled over this either. If we do our part by flooding our reps with our outrage and the left provides some help that may be enough.
Some parts of this bill are good. If they just deleted the provisions dealing with earned amnesty (which is the heart of it) then the rest would not be too bad. :-)
My message to them will be clear. First things first. When you have a leaky dike you first plug the leak. You shut the border down tight, go after the businesses and slowly deport them. And if they want comprehensive immigration reform how about increasing the number of Chinese and Indians and reducing the mexican peasants? We should be getting the best and brightest not gardeners.
Excuse me, but business does not skate. They bear the brunt of enforcement. They have to install the verification system and submit the docs to the gov. They will be wired to the gov every which way, and the barriers to cross referencing are down. It reminds me of the tax collection system. Business does the work, shoulders the expense, and risks the jack boot thugs, if they make a mistake. Now it is in reaql time. $75,000 fine. No more day laborers at the Home Depot.
WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!
You just signed up and you’re supporting the withdrawal of troops and impeachment.
What Democrat is paying your bills?
Well, when "Republicans" change their registration to something else, then we'll know who the real RINO's are.
We are sending illegals back.
Deportations are going on at the rate of over 700 a day, but that can’t solve the problem as there are too many here now.
