PLEASE PHONE TODAY BEFORE 1st AMNESTY VOTES TOMORROW

http://www.numbersusa.com/



DEAR CITIZENS OF Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Oklahoma,



Below are the phone calls we most need you to make today.



The rest of the country is depending on you handling your region.



All of you are absolutely HAMMERING congressional offices with your FAXES the moment I sent out my alert last night. Way to go. As usual, NumbersUSA faxes into Congress far out-number all faxes from all other sources on all other issues! NumbersUSA Faxers rock!



On your phone calls:



(a) Start with Members from your own state.

(b) Then, if you have time, help us with the neighboring states with smaller populations.

(c) If you are totally gung ho, call the ones from larger neighboring states, too.



The plan of congressional leaders is to pass the DREAM Act amnesty late Wednesday morning in the House of Representatives and then pass cloture to start debate in the Senate Wednesday evening.



CALL UNCOMMITTED SENATORS (both R & D)



You don't have the 2012 elections to hold over their heads. But these are Senators who ought to be with us. They need a counter-weight to the thousands of phone calls they are getting from the pro-amnesty forces.



Louisiana



Landrieu, Mary (Democrat)

DC: (202) 224-5824

Local: (225) 389-0395



When you call, tell them this:

you appreciate their general opposition to amnesty in the past but you can't figure out why they haven't announced their opposition this time around.





even if there are young illegal aliens who deserve a chance at an amnesty, the DREAM Act is not the bill -- it has zero enforcement to keep millions of other foreign parents from illegally bringing their children to put them in the same situation that DREAM is supposed to fix.





In addition, thank you phone calls would be helpful to:



Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison



Sen. John Cornyn



Call them through the switchboard at 202-224-3121.



Both of those Texas Senators are pretty strongly in favor of something like the DREAM amnesty but have been driven by their constituents to say they will vote NO. They are under huge pressure from hunger strikers, prayer vigilists, etc. to vote YES. So, it would be good to let them know that their NO vote is much appreciated.



THE STRATEGY FOR WINNING IN THE HOUSE (we are losing at the moment)



Speaker Pelosi knows that she doesn't have commitments for the 218 votes she needs to pass the amnesty. But we don't have commitments for 218 NO votes, either.



Pelosi feels she can pull this one out.



For us to stop her, we are going to have to persuade at least 40 of the Democrats who fall in the categories below (nationwide, so you aren't seeing all the possibilities) to vote NO.



Your phone calls very well may tip the balance.



Phone RE-ELECTED HOUSE Democrats who have leaned in our direction in the past



These Democratic Representatives of Immigration-Reduction Grades of "C" or higher. Most of them faced competitive elections and won. They won in part by being better on immigration than the Nancy Pelosi image of the Party. They hope to run again in 2012.



When you call thank them for supporting American workers rather than illegal workers in the past and tell them how important it is for their District, for the American people and for their future political prospects that they vote against DREAM amnesty on Wednesday.



Oklahoma

Boren, Dan

DC: (202) 225-2701

Local: (918) 687-2533





Phone RETIRING HOUSE Democrats Who Have Usually Leaned in Our Direction



It is among these Democrats that Speaker Pelosi most hopes to gain advantage to pass the DREAM Act. Most of these would have voted NO on the amnesty before the election. Now that they have been defeated or are retiring and don't have to keep up appearances for the impending election, Pelosi believes she can persuade a lot of them to vote against constituent wishes..



They have Immigration-Reduction Grades of "C" or better. Thank them for their opposition to illegal immigration in the past and talk about the need to protect their legacy as they leave Congress by finally putting an end to talk about rewarding illegal immigration with an amnesty which would entice millions more illegal aliens to come.



Arkansas

Berry, Marion

DC: (202) 225-4076

Local: (870) 972-4600



THANKS FOR THE PHONING.
