Dear Friends,
It appears that a grassroots movement to stop this legislation may be working. Yesterday, I expressed disappointment on behalf of the Arizona Republican Party at the Senate legislation addressing Comprehensive Immigration reform. Minutes ago, the U.S. Senate delayed further action until at least next month. What happened in the last 24 hours? Your calls, letters, emails and faxes! What seemed to be at first our potentially darkest moments has the potential to become one of our finest hours!
According to the latest press reports, there are now just 20 US Senators committed to supporting the immigration bill and there are nearing 40 US Senators “already opposed or having serious concerns” to the bill. If that 40 gets to 50, then the calls of our Republican Party faithful will have worked and you can take a bow because the people in Washington will have listened to our collective voices.
I have said since being honored to serve you as chairman that Arizona Republicans work hard and dream big. That has certainly been the case these past few days. Thousands of phone calls. Thousands of faxes. Thousands of emails. Our grassroots mobilized because they believed so strongly in something that they could not sit back and accept a bad solution. There can be no amnesty from the will of the American people, nor can there be amnesty for those who knowingly break the law.
Please, continue to call all Senators from across the country. For your convenience, I have supplied the numbers for all United States Senators at the bottom of this e-mail. I truly believe that your voices have made a difference these past several days, and will continue to be the difference as this debate moves forward.
In your service,
RANDY

It's pretty cool when you've got a conservative party chairman calling for action against the Democrats and REPUBLICANS - including the President and the two Senators from Arizona - for their support of this latest effort to give amnesty and rewards to the illegal alien invaders.
DON’T LET UP. They are going to try to sneak this turd through. All calls of victory are premature. Success so far is limited to making the would-be destroyers of America change their plans, not their goals.
Excellent.
A minor correction:
“VT Sanders Bernard” should be “VT Bernard Sanders”
WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!
Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them.
we need a way to make them stop trying to force this amnesty down our throats for good. We don’t need reform, we need enforcement.
If you find any fundraising letters from the RNC or politicians favoring this bill send back the postage due envelopes with a short message inside opposing the amnesty bill. They’ll have to pay to get the envelopes, and they won’t get any money inside of them.
It was obvious this thing was DOA about an hour after the news hit. Few bills could withstand such a groundswell of disbelief and disgust from both Republicans and Democrats.
Sometimes, Americans know stupid when they see it.
No kidding! I am sick to death of John McCain’s BS...First campaign finance reform, and now this. I honestly don’t know why Arizonan’s keep this ass around.
After they think this has blown over, they’ll sneak through this in the middle of the night.
I`ve made my calls and this thing is dead but a question, nows what? By having to “win it all’ in 2006 we basically got nothing except two less Congressman from AZ. Are we ever going to accomplish anything or is just winning good enough?
Great to see this leadership in a state GOP. Especially in MeCain’s home state!
Yes. After Memorial Day.
NO AMNESTY!
The bad news is that there are only 49 Republican Senators, not 50. The good news is that we only need 40.
I get the feeling they are taking a break so citizens forget. Stay vigilant! Keep calling every day!
Sen. Byrd (Democrat) is squarely against this, I am told.
Apparently, so are Tester, Baucus, Dorgan and Sanders, though for obviously different reasons.
