Senator Jeff Sessions' office tell me he has reserved three hours of floor time to talk about the proposed bill, beginning around 1:30 p.m. today I love my state senators. :) They listen to their constituents. If we didn't need him so badly in the Senate, he would really make a great Attorney General or V.P. Or our state governor.

To: Guenevere; All

I looked up my senators at www.senate.gov and got all their fax #’s...one from each of their district offices and sent them this:

Dear Ms. Fienstien and Boxer,

Regardless of what you keep saying, it is AMNESTY! Enough of the lies.

Please be informed, I have a group in my county who will go door to door to defeat your next reelection bid.

Ms. Fienstien, it’s time the country knew about your and your husbands arms import/export deals. Don’t you think? I do.

Ms. Boxer, are you hiring illegal aliens in any of your ‘enterprises’?

Do NOT vote for this thing, or you’ll be competing with cheap imported labor for your next job!

Sign us disgusted,

I mentioned her on another thread- I have a very sweet neighbor- from Serbia- who has been going through all the LEGAL requirements to become American. This weekend she was so upset she couldn’t even talk about it- saw her out walking her dog- she waved me off and said - next week.....I can’t talk about it now...

Thanks for the links. I sent my mail to them both. Don’t know if it will help, I’m not that eloquent...

I wrote: “This bill is another amnesty bill just repackaged. The American people by and large do not want this bill or any other amnesty/get in America free bill. It is not fair to those who came here legally and it is not fair to the taxpayers. For once please listen to the people who put you in office!!”

Sen. Sessions is doing a tremendous job of illustrating the many differences between what the legislation was purported to do and what it actually does.

This is not only a great service to the American people, but highly persuasive in influencing the Senators still on the fence. Given the abbreviated time line the sponsors would like for consideration of this bill, trust is important.

Many Senators will be staking their political futures on this bill. If it becomes apparent to a Senstor that he has been told the bill is something that it is not, will he risk his future by voting for the bill? I hope not.

I have made it clear to my Senators that this vote may be the most important s/he casts this year, that it will be remembered, as will any betrayal. Senator Sessions is helping us apply the heat.

Keep it up, Senator Sessions. Great job today!

What they are actually invoking cloture on is last year’s bill. The plan is to gain cloture, then call up and substitute the new outrageous bill for last year’s outrageous bill.

How are they allowed to put the $5,000.00 requirement (tax/fee) in this bill (which is starting in the Senate obviously) since the money part has to begin the House of Representatives?

Obviously, it is going to be removed - since “nobody” wants to penalize these fine poor Mexican workers (er,illegal alien criminals) by actually charging them for the millions they have cost in lost taxes and gained benefits....
