There they go again! As reported on the Lou Dobbs' program tonight, the Feinstein amendment to the military appropriations bill would give AMNESTY to three million illegal immigrant farm workers in the United States. This amendment was added in the "dark of night" and is an example of the new strategy of the open-borders amnesty lobby.

When public outrage forced the Senate to abandon "comprehensive [amnesty] immigration" reform, the ethnocentric and special-interest business lobbies adopted this new Stealth Strategy. With liberal Democrats in control of Congress it appears to be working.

Toll free Capitol switchboard number 800-965-1407. Call, fax, email or write to you Senators. Put the heat on them like we did twice last summer. It worked both times. I blasted my Senators offices this morning and sent faxes.

You're welcome. I've had that number since last summer when Congress critters twice tried to shove amnesty for illegals down our throats.
