***BUMPED & UPDATED***Arlen Specter Leading the Charge Toward Republican Capitulation

The first Part talks about doing everything possible to make the stimulus fail. The next part says, well if it's going to pass, here is what I want. If you want to do anything, here's how!!

A very important Tip from www.Redstate.com Seriously consider it!!!

Arlen Specter Leading the Charge Toward Republican Capitulation
Posted by Leon H. Wolf
We are hearing two things from reliable sources. The first is that Arlen Specter is the ringleader of a group of four Republican Senators (including Snowe, Collins, and Voinovich), that have struck a compromise with the Democrats to vote for a “stimulus” bill that is *even bigger than the ridiculous pork-fest that passed the House*.The second is that Pat Toomey’s office is being deluged with calls urging him to run once again as a primary opponent to Arlen Specter, since Bush will not be around to pull Specter out of the fire again.Time is running short right now. It is anticipated that the Democrats will soon offer the new, more pork-laden “stimulus” up as an amendment shortly and pass the whole thing and send it back to the house. Collins just got re-elected and therefore isn’t subject to much pressure. Voinovich is retiring and is also hopeless. Specter, on the other hand, has to face the voters in less than two years. There is one thing left to do. GET ON THE HORN TO ARLEN SPECTER’S OFFICE NOW.202-224-4254Tell him that a vote for this ridiculous pork bill is unacceptable. Let him know specifically what you will be willing to do to make sure that he is not re-elected if he continues to lead this ridiculous charge.

For other Senators, especially from Maine and Ohio, Read this:

Call your Senator again today at 202-224-3121.Tell him not to vote for the stimulus plan.If your Senator is a Republican — even if in name only — remind him that when this passes, the GOP will not get credit anyway. And when it passes, it will hurt more than help. Your Senator shouldn’t want to be connected with it.The Democrats don’t need any help to own this thing. Let’s not given them any.

On the other hand...

Defend E-Verify!!!
www.fairus.org

There is still time to make a difference! Last night FAIR heard from sources on the Hill that Leaders in the House and Senate had deliberately stripped both E-Verify amendments from the Stimulus Bill (H.R.1). This means that the nearly trillion dollar spending bill will likely create as many as 300,000 jobs for illegal aliens using taxpayer money. It is outrageous that Congressional leaders would deliberately remove provisions that would protect American workers while unemployment is skyrocketing.
However, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has just announced that the vote on the Stimulus Bill will be delayed until at least tomorrow (Friday). This gives us one more day to call House and Senate Leadership and demand that they include both E-Verify amendments in the Stimulus Bill. These amendments do the following: (1) reauthorize E-Verify for five years, and (2) require all businesses and contractors receiving taxpayer-funded stimulus money to use E-Verify.

THERE IS NO TIME TO LOSE! Please call House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and tell them:
Going after employers who hire illegal workers is the key to returning legitimacy to our immigration system.
E-Verify, a voluntary program, is one of the most effective tools employers have to help ensure their workforce is legal. This program is set to expire March 6th and must be reauthorized immediately as part of the Stimulus Bill.
It is completely outrageous and a betrayal of the American worker for Congress to pass a $1 trillion jobs bill without requiring employers who receive taxpayer money to use E-Verify. Congress must require that all recipients of stimulus money use E-Verify.

Please call House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at 202.225.4965 and 202.225.0100
Please call Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at 202.224.3542 and 202.224.5556
State Numbers for Harry Reid: 775.686.5750 or 775.882.7343 or 702.388.5020
District Number for Nancy Pelosi: 415.556.4862
Remember, there is still time to make a difference if you act NOW.
