Sent this to Sen Webb’s CoS... As Jim Webb is a Marine Vietnam vet, maybe he remembers something called “honor” and will be responsive.
“I recall when your boss was an author of a VERY good book on his experiences as a Marine infantry officer in Vietnam. As a retired Marine and Vietnam veteran also, I recall serving under him when he was President Reagan’s Navy Secretary. Now he’s a Senator from a most renowned state, Virginia, where my son lives and works as a fireman and where many of my siblings and nieces/nephews also call home.
I ask that you point out to him that his NO vote on this abominable bill will be appreciated far more widely than just Virginia. He will be helping to stop legislation that has the serious potential to sunder the very fabric of the American society. As the husband of a lawful immigrant who helped my wife jump through all the INS/CIS hoops and going through the same for my stepson, I am outraged that so many people in the US Senate are so willing to allow millions of scofflaws to jump right to the head of the LEGAL immigration line and thumb their noses at those who wanted so much to come to this country and be able to live here LEGALLY and properly they spent many dollars and untold hours and weeks and months filling out the proper forms and going through all the right motions to do things the RIGHT way. Senator Webb could be a MAJOR factor in bringing some sanity back into our immigration discussion by his NO vote when the cloture question is brought up again.
Very truly
