Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is launching a new tactic this morning designed to stop US Senator Harry Reid’s (D-NV) attempt to pass a form of Amnesty for illegal immigrants by inserting the Dream Act provision into the defense authorization legislation scheduled for a vote on Tuesday September 21rst at 2:15PM.
“We call on the Senate to stop Reid and Obama’s surprise attack Amnesty,” said William Gheen President of ALIPAC. “This Nightmare Act is opposed by a strong majority of Americans and passage of Amnesty using dirty legislative tricks to attach it to defense spending will be strongly rebuked by Americans on November 2nd!”
While advocates of the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act ramp up calls and emails to the US Senate in Washington using multimillion dollar resources provided by corporations, foundations, and US taxpayers, ALIPAC’s AMNESTY OPPONENTS will take this fight directly to the US Senate campaigns across America today.
“We are directing our activists against amnesty to contact every US Senate campaign in America today to determine which candidates oppose or support Obama and Reid’s Dream Act Amnesty amendment,” said William Gheen. “We intend to track which Senate candidates support or oppose this Amnesty attempt and remind them all that voters will defeat any candidate unwise enough to support this Amnesty ambush!”
You should know that Reid is also inserting a repeal of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” into the Defense bill.
There are more serious cases of corruption in Congress but this is so blatant it practically shouts WE ARE LYING CROOKS AND WE DON'T CARE IF YOU KNOW IT!
Finally, this authorization cuts lots of programs designed to defend America, including Missile Defense, some F-35 funding, and there is some BRAC stuff in it as well. Finally, it decreases the size of the US Navy.
those who fear passage of this dream act aint seen nothing compared to what a lame congress has planned after november.
this may save dirty harry his seat, depending upon acorn and seiu’s ability to spread their word and get out their vote.
Question. Since this is a budget bill doesn’t it require only a majority vote?
Email to me...if anyone interested. The usual RINOs in play...
Senator Reid is bragging that he has enough Republicans willing to come his way and vote YES on Cloture for the defense spending bill with the Dream Act Amnesty in it.
It looks like they waited just long enough for John McCain to win his primary before moving forward.
You must move quickly, as the vote is expected in 24 hours at 2:15pm on Tuesday, September 21!
Step 1:
Here are the Republicans who some sources are reporting are negotiating with Senator Reid to possible vote YES on Cloture. If Reid can get 60 votes on Cloture (a motion to proceed with a bill) he can pass Amnesty.
Call the following Senators to say, “I just heard that Senator _______ was negotiating with Senator Reid to pass the Dream Act Amnesty. Is it true that Senator ______ may be willing to vote ‘Yes on Cloture’ on the defense spending bill to pass amnesty for illegal aliens? Please tell Senator ______ to vote No on CLOTURE for the Amnesty bill tomorrow.”
Please contact the following Republicans who are reported to possibly be negotiation with Reid.
John McCain (R-AZ) (202) 224-2235
Lindsay Graham (R-SC) (202) 224-5972
John Cornyn (R-Texas) (202) 224-2934
Scott Brown (R-Mass) (202) 224-4543
Susan Collins (R-Maine) (202) 224-2523
Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) (202) 224-5344
George Voinovoich (R-Ohio) (202) 224-3353
Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) (202) 224-4814
Keep calling these Senators and campaigns, even after their offices close, and FILL THOSE VOICE MAILS!
Step 2:
Contact the campaigns for US Senate found at our tracking list here and ask for the campaigns to issue their positions “For Dream Act Amnesty” or “Against Dream Act Amnesty”. Please help us identify and track these campaigns.
Contacting DC is important, but these US Senate campaigns must be flooded with calls!
Step 3: Please contribute to ALIPAC so we can launch some form of online advertising in the morning to rally America against this Amnesty vote! We must all pull together and get the emails flying, get the calls into talk radio shows, and get online ads up warning Americans of the impending vote on Amnesty!
