AS OF APRIL 8, 2008

NumbersUSA.com-—ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ALERT-—force vote on SAVE Act (HR 4088)

Your faxes and phone calls during Congress’s Easter break delivered four more signers of the Discharge Petition to force a U.S. House floor vote on Rep. Heath Shuler’s SAVE Act (H.R. 4088):

SIGNERS Alaska — Rep. Young New York — Rep. Walsh Ohio — Rep. Tiberi Pennsylvania — Rep. Kanjorski

Out of 435 Members of the House, 185 have now signed the Discharge Petition (rarely used procedure to move legislation that is blocked by House leadership). But it will take 218 signers to force Speaker of the House Pelosi to bring the SAVE Act to a vote. We have 33 more signers to go (as of April 8).
