Below is an email I received from Steve Elliot regarding building the fence. The Petition is free. The next page will ask for a donation but obviuosly you are not required to give money.

Our research team just got off the phone with one of our key contacts in Rep. Duncan Hunter's office and learned more disturbing news about the border fence.

According to our contact, the fence-gutting provision that was put into the omnibus spending bill just before Christmas also causes the Department of Homeland Security's authority on constructing new border fencing to expire at the end of this year.

In essence, the sun sets on the border fence on December 31 of this year! In fact, our contact tells us the bill language could be interpreted as a prohibition against any fence construction after December 31 of this year.

Here's the exact provision from H.R. 2764:

"In carrying out this section, the Secretary of \
Homeland
Security shall --

"(i) identify the 370 miles, or other mileage determined by
the Secretary, whose authority to determine other
mileage shall expire on December 31, 2008, along the southwest border where fencing would be most practical and effective..."

Think about what this means...

The next President -- whether it be Obama or
Clinton or McCain -- will have no clear legal authority to build any of the border fence at all...

We will have a pro-amnesty president who not only doesn't want to build the double-layer fence, he or she legally does not have to!

As a result, this fall's elections could prove less important for border security than what you and I do right now to restore theSecure Fence Act.

+ + Please notify your friends about your petition

In three weeks, Ron De Jong and I will take part in a major press conference with Members of Congress on Capitol Hill to present your petition to Restore the Secure Fence Act.

Right now, we have 117,969 signers. We simply must have 250,000 petitions in three weeks.

Please forward this message to 10 or 20 friends today and ask them to join you in signing the petition to restore the Secure Fence Act.

Again, what you and I do NOW could prove more important for border security than the November elections.

Thank you so much for signing the petition and spreading the word.

This is important. The biggest threat to this country comes from the open borders and the hordes of illegal aliens and immigrants from enemy countries who roam across the land.

Do I have to put all my information in that?

But we are building the border fence!

Anyone advocating a petition that asks for your address, while maybe sincere, is not doing FReepers any favors.

DO NOT TAKE PART IN ANY PETITION THAT ASKS FOR MORE THAN YOUR ZIP CODE.

These people are mining FR for fundraising purposes, and not all their own. Jim expressly prohibits people taking advantage of FR this way.

In a backroom deal just prior to the Christmas break, Congress passed the omnibus Appropriations bill which included the Hutchison Amendment that gutted the Secure Fence Act.

A back room deal supported by that POS Juan Mccain and his pal Gramnesty.

The petition asks for too much personal information. I advise that Freepers not sign it.
