Phone now -- House voting today on big immigration issues‏

An interesting post from http://www.numbersusa.com/ about Immigration Bills before the House of Representatives! This follows this previous post about House bills to add to the Continuing Resolution. This follows this post about a HOUSE bill to end Chain Migration and this post which shows that there are 30,000 openly illegal immigrants in the border town of El Paso. On a related note, you can read about Miss Kentucky Latina here, an interesting article about Jessica Alba here or another article about Salma Hayek here. For more that you can do to get involved click HERE and you can read a very interesting book HERE!

Phone now -- House voting today on big immigration issues‏





DEAR FRIENDS,






Please phone your U.S. Reprentative now. Voting on key immigration amendments will start as early as noon.






Click here for your Phone Action Note with phone number, talking points and background info.






Staffers have arrived in their offices at the U.S. House of Representatives and are ready for your calls.


2 AMENDMENTS WOULD FURTHER GUT ENFORCEMENT






1 AMENDMENT WOULD GET THE FEDS OFF ARIZONA'S BACK (a good one)






AND 1 AMENDMENT WOULD SUSPEND THE VISA LOTTERY!!!!!


These are real votes on a big spending bill, and they will be happening fast -- although some votes may not be until this evening or even Thursday morning. Right now, it is just important that you phone as soon as you see this email.






I will be emailing you updates through the day. You can also keep up with the action by looking at our home page regularly at: http://www.numbersusa.com/.  






The first of you to call will probably find that staffers don't even know these immigration amendments are being considered today. They were just approved for votes last night.






So, it is extremely important that you call your U.S. Representative to tell him/her that constituents know about the amendments and will be watching closely to see how he/she votes.






If you have never phoned Congress before, please do it this morning. We make it exceptionally easy. FOLLOW THESE STEPS:






STEP 1 -- Go to your customized Phone Action Note with the info about your own Representative.






STEP 2 -- Read the Talking Point in the middle of the page that we suggest you use on the phone. If you want more info, read the text in the left-hand box.






STEP 3 -- See if somebody else in your District has left a tip about your Congressman. This tip is on the lower right part of the page.






STEP 4 -- Call the phone number on the page.






STEP 5 -- Tell the staffer your name and your city or county name (so they will know you are a constituent).






Say you are calling about amendments on the Continuing Resolution.






Then, give your talking point or points.






You can be as quick as you like. You won't have to debate the staffer. Just leave your information and thank the staffer.






Always be polite. Staffers will treat your requests with much more respect if you are.






STEP 6 -- On the Phone Action Note, click on the red bar at top -- YES, I MADE THE CALL.






That will take you to a page where you can leave information that you think may be helpful to the next person who calls your Representative.






PLEASE GO TO YOUR PHONE ACTION NOTE NOW. THANKS!!
