I am not giving in, I will resist all of the way. It is up on the change.gov website under immigration soliciting remarks. I also gave numbers.usa some money. What other activities can we do to let Congress know that’s not what the polls say. The polls show enforcement and this issue will further divide the country. I am beginning to think that’s what they want so we merge with Canada and Mexico
We need to make every effort possible to fight this. Call and write to our representative, talk-shows, blogs, etc.
THIS NOTE IS FOR YOU AND THE HANDFUL of others on this thread reacting strongly (and not in defeatism):I just called Sen. Reid's office directly (202-224-3542) and pressed 1 to speak to a staff member.
I spoke reasonably. I told her my husband had just been laid off and that I found it appalling that the senator would push for amnesty at a time when millions of people were facing joblessness--and to think illegal aliens would have citizenship and rights was even more appalling. I explained that if she thought our outrage last year burned up the phones, just wait till next year!
The upshot was that I shocked this female staff member, for I sensed she hadn't a clue that people like me realized Obama did NOT campaign on this issue and for Sen. Reid to push it would show a callous disregard for Americans facing a depression. She assured me she'd pass on my concerns (and I thought it was a sincere assurance).
Anyhoooooo . . . for any others reading this post, please, please, please do not wring your hands. Put them to good use writing and/or telephoningyour congressfolk or Reid.
