Stop Amnesty.
Tell congressmen we dont want ANY bill passed, no matter what they promise. This bill is Amnesty for 30 million illegals, and a 1000 page bill that brings in 80 million 3rd world immigrants. The bill will destroy the U.S. and will turn the USA into a socialist state as is the democrats/Obamas plan.

Call all remaining GOP members of the US Congress to back the efforts of those fighting back.
Call and say I am calling to ask Congress member ___________ to support Michele Bachman, Steve King, and Louie Gohmerts effort to demand that Speaker John Boehner stop trying to help Obama and the Democrats pass amnesty for illegal aliens. Please sign their petition to require the Speaker to honor the Hastert Rule! If the Senate passes an amnesty for illegal aliens, it will be important that the House refuses to pass any immigration legislation in 2013! Stop the amnesty legislation!

I have a 42 year old son out of work, over worked, over stressed, and he is now a type 2 diabetic as a result. Always gave 110% to his job. Has wife, nurse’s aide low wages, 11 year old son. They live in a 800 sq ft rental trailer with only the one tiny income, just a pay check away from disaster. 20 years in management. He took LD Truck driving course, thought that would be the answer so he could control his diabetes and provide income for his family...wrong, made it worse. Needs to be in city area where they live to work so he can eat the required diet as it does control the condition better than the side effect riddled drugs do.
Any one in Princeton IN area need a hard working AMERICAN CITIZEN? Willing to take a chance on giving him a go at a job? Let me know and I’ll pass it on to him.

Thank You so very much ... Please be nice everyone and respectful but Let’s Burn ‘Em Down!
Tying to your post Gail. Here ya are everyone. Give someone a chance. Do It, please.
Thanks FReeper friend. I’ve already given him all I can so they could move before they were evicted from the house they rented in KY. They chose Princeton area as his wife’s sis will baby sit the kid for free. Even 11 year old’s need supervision, especially a very curious one like Matt who at 11 knows it all. Like his grandma believes that. Come August the you know what hits the fan and they may be homeless if he does not find work. He does not want to be on the dole, he wants to WORK.
And now that we have down sized we do not have room for them.
May I have enough of a following (I may not) to have helped. Prayers Up Gail.
Yep, the amnesty gang got the CBO to produce a score that says that the illegals will become a national cash cow under their amnesty bill (hows that working with Reagan amnesty receipients?)
Of course the CBO scored Obama-care the same way till it was passed, then they revised its score after it was passed to show it adds to the debt rather than the opposite.
Its Obama-care-immigration-reform.
‘Gotta pass it to see what's in it’
Why are we calling this mess the “Amnesty” bill?
Isn’t it really the “Death to America” bill?
I had a similar question. Amnesty supporters always claim it is NOT amnesty, they did in 2006/2007 and they do now. They argue that any requirement to do anything new (registration) is not amnesty.
As my tag lines says I would call it the ‘skip illegals to the front of the line’ bill, or ;’front of line’ for short.
Grhamnesty on FNS yesterday used the ‘puts them at the back of the line’ line again ('so support it NOW').
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
