It's not too late
John Hawkins thinks the Senate Illegal Amnesty Bill is "harder to kill than Jason Voorhees," with 30 GOP senators still backing the legislation, despite Americans overwhelmingly opposing it -- but Hawkins has faith that you can make a difference.
You know what that means? That means you need to pick up the phone, write an email, or send a fax to make your voice heard. If these bubbleheads in the Senate don't keep hearing it from the base, they will, because they're bubbleheads, assume that the outrage has died down and that it's safe to vote for the bill. So,
#1) Pick up the phone and call your home state senators. You can get the numbers and/or email addresses of your home state senators here.
#2) Call the National Republican Senatorial Committee at (202) 675-6000 and let them know that you will not support the reelection of any senator in 2008 who votes for the amnesty bill in the Senate.
#3) Call the Republican National Committee at (202) 863-8500 (option 1) and let them know you will not support any candidate in 2008 who votes for the amnesty bill in the Senate.
#4) Call, email, or fax Mitch McConnell's office at (202) 224-2541 and tell them that you expect him to resign as Senate Minority Leader if this bill passes.
#5) Call, email, or fax Trent Lott's office at (202) 224-6253 and tell them that you expect him to resign as Minority Whip if this bill passes.
Again, if you don't want to call them, email them or fax them. But also remember to be POLITE, but firm.
Do you want to know what a failing democracy looks like? If the Senate approves this bill -- even though The People -- whom they supposedly represent -- say, "No!", then I think it's safe to say that representative democracy is on life support in the U.S.
Because whomsoever actually likes this abomination -- whether it be illegal aliens or agri-business -- it sure ain't going to pass as an expression of what the vast majority of Americans want.
Get on the phone. Please.
