Who to Contact about Opposing Immigration Amnesty! Some Republicans AND SOME DEMOCRATS!!

A very interesting post from www.NumbersUSA.com about who to contact about opposing Amnesty. This follows this post about investigating your area’s Town halls. This follows this post about how to Report Illegal Immigrants! For more about what you can do click here and you can read two very interesting books HERE.

From NumbersUSA contact the GOP Representatives who have a F,D, or C grade and warn them to oppose immigration amnesty or they will receive a Primary Challenge.
After that, from NumbersUSA contact the DEMOCRACT Representatives who have a A, B, C, or D+ grade and tell them to oppose immigration amnesty to avoid a GOP Challenge.

You can write this to the GOP members:
Honorable Representative,




A primary challenge will await any Representative who votes for a House bill that is conferenced with the Senate. The best way to avoid any credible challenge is to make a public stand against any “pathway to citizenship” for immigration lawbreakers or Conference with the Senate during the August recess!



Rubio & Alexander: Unpopularity shows House Republicans that pro-amnesty not good way to advance career

One could literally "read the writing on the wall" for Republicans who are following the advice of their national party leaders, consultants and corporate fund-raisers to flood America's labor markets with foreign workers.

The words "Sen. Alexander under fire on immigration" scrolled across the electronic news screen that wraps around the corner of the complex that contains the local ABC TV station and Politico.

Being one of the 14 Republicans (30% of GOP Senators) who rescued the S. 744 amnesty bill from defeat last month is not helping any of them win any popularity contests.

RUBIO DROPS FROM 1st TO 6th IN PRESIDENTIAL POLL

Providing the starkest evidence was a Public Policy Polling report earlier this week on Sen Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). The firm was widely regarded as one of the most accurate during last year's presidential campaign. In its polling of preferences for a Republican presidential nominee, it found:

Marco Rubio, who had led all of our polling since December, has dropped all the way to 6th place. . . . Rubio was at 21 or 22% on all of our polls between January and March but his support has now dropped to half that level (10%)."

Rubio made the decision in January to become the face of the omnibus immigration bill, even allowing various special interest groups to run non-stop ads featuring him touting the legislation on conservative TV and radio, even though the bill was written primarily by the staff of New York Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer.

Rubio made sure that few Republican Primary voters across the nation would be unaware of his leadership for the giant bill. It was a huge gamble apparently based on national GOP consultants' belief that Rubio could convert conservative voters to his view that giving out some 30 million new green cards over the next decade would be good for the American people.

ALEXANDER'S SAVE OF AMNESTY BILL EARNING INTENSE EFFORT FOR A PRIMARY CHALLENGE

Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) did most of his work to pass the bill in the background. He is facing re-election in 2014 and let his fellow Tennessee Republican, Sen. Corker, take the public leadership for the amnesty since he was just re-elected last fall and has five years before having to answer to voters again.

But Tennessee voters don't look to be in a mood to give Alexander a pass, according to the Politico article last night:

Attending a rally in Smyrna, Tenn., last weekend, Alexander was greeted by a crowd of about 300 conservative activists -- organizers said -- wearing bright red T-shirts that read "Beat Lamar" in big bold letters. They held signs that blared: "You betrayed us" . . . Tea party groups were already watching Alexander given declining scores from the Club for Growth and Heritage Action, and they hope last month's immigration vote will be a tipping point against him. It's a test of their ability to punish GOP lawmakers for their stance on the Gang of Eight bill -- especially important given Senate Republicans did not move en masse to vote for the measure, and House Republicans want nothing to do with it.

"Unlike previous cycles, Lamar Alexander is in trouble," said Drew Ryun, political director of the conservative Madison Project and a former Republican National Committee deputy director. "Immigration is the big issue, especially given some of the things he's said in the past. His political doublespeak isn't going to work this time."

Activists representing several local tea party groups in Tennessee have teamed up with national conservative groups such as FreedomWorks, the Madison Project and Senate Conservatives Fund to find a credible, conservative candidate who can challenge Alexander in next year's primary.

Alexander, like most of the Republican Senators who voted for the big increase in foreign labor, has a huge campaign war chest filled with donations from the corporate wing of the party. It will be very difficult for a challenger to beat him. But just having to compete in a Primary is at the least a costly indignity that most incumbents of either party abhor.

PAUL RYAN LEAKS PRO-AMNESTY GOP LEADERS' TIME-TABLE

Speaking of Republicans trying to imitate Marco Rubio.

The Hill newspaper has just reported that Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has told a town hall event what House GOP leaders hope to do this fall.

He says the floor votes are tentatively planned for October. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Ryan indicated that Speaker Boehner hopes to get votes on the very weak border security bill, on the excellent legislation on interior enforcement, on bills to expand legal immigration and then some kind of amnesty.

Ryan just said negotiations are underway to vote on legislation to provide illegal aliens with "probationary" visas while they wait a minimum of 15 years to attain citizenship.

The newspaper said it contacted House leadership to see if Ryan's timetable was accurate and was told only that there were "no scheduling announcements to make."

A hopeful supporter,

YOU CAN WRITE THIS TO THE DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVES:   Honorable Representative,

I am asking you to make a public statement against S.744 and any “pathway to citizenship”. This will avoid a serious GOP opponent in the 2014 election by not allowing him or her to outflank you on this.

This bill will allow 33 million new immigrants over the next decade.

The 33 million green cards offered by S. 744 in the first decade would go to:

• around 11 million for illegal aliens (could be millions more if the official estimate is wrong)

• around 11 million in continuation of elevated flows from 1990 surge policy

• around 5 million from end of numerical limits on people waiting in line (mostly chain migration)

• around 6 million from new and expanded categories

On the other hand,

Nearly every section of the Gang Amnesty bill seems to add more foreign workers to compete with unemployed and underemployed Americans. The Gang apparently believes that the way to help the 20 million Americans who can't find a full-time job is to give out another 20-30 million lifetime work permits to foreign citizens over the next decade.

This bill would further flood labor markets at the lower-skill levels where real wages have declined 10% to 22% since 1980.

If the bill becomes law, the chances of Americans with no more than a high school education entering the middle class may disappear.

But it isn't just the low-end where Americans are threatened. The bill would make huge increases in importing higher-educated workers at a time when around half of all recent American college graduates either have no job at all or they aren't working in a degree job.

The under-32 Millennial Generation already is in danger of being a lost generation. After this bill, we may see these young adults spend the rest of their lives only partly engaged in the economy as they depend on government and family.



None of this is the kind of economy or society most Americans desire. Surely a compassionate and thoughtful citizenry will put a stop to this nonsense and ask its Representatives to go back to work putting Americans back to work.

In appreciation of your consideration,
