Stop Bush/Kennedy Amnesty Compromise: Act Now

As we speak the George W. Bush/Ted Kennedy amnesty bill is being negotiated to increase the number of green card holders this country has, from 25 to 60 million over the next 13 years.The attendant loss of habitat alone that they and their offspring will cause is enough cause to do something. THE OTHER GUY WON’T.This is NOT a matter of kindness vs. meanness. It is a matter of the US being totally transformed over the next thirty years at an ever-faster rate into something that you, much less America’s remaining wildlife, will not enjoy. And it will do NOTHING to alleviate the poverty of the third world.Right now, the Republican senators who are breaking their promise not to support Bush & Kennedy’s plan are citing ONE THING: the lack of calls (not faxes) being made by constituents to their offices. They have no voter backlash to fear, and all the praise in the world to expect from business (which wants cheap labor) and the NPR/PBS pseudo-intellectual airheads (who want “diversity” (sic)).I know that picking up a phone and calling an office is awkward for many of you, but JUST THIS ONCE please do it.All you have to say is: “My name is (first & last) and I am calling to express shock at the possible passage of the Bush/Kennedy amnesty bill. It will be a disaster for American workers and America’s dwindling wildlife habitat.”They will not ask you any questions. They will thank you for calling and then hang up the phone.The number to call is: (202) 224-3121.What I’m asking you to do is make this one simple phone call and then forward this message to as many friends as you can think of and ask them to do the same.They can find the number for their state senators’ offices at this page:http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfmOr simply call the senate switchboard and ask for the senators of their state: (202) 224-3121.PS: Anybody who wants to be especially effective can call Republican senators serving other states. The number of phone calls to their offices this week will decide whether this country will be livable in 30 years.
