Take Action On Illegal Immigration Today!

From NumbersUSA:

May Day marchers will shout for amnesty -- you can make a short phone call for SAVE
 
DEAR FRIENDS,

Today, we need to concentrate all of our energies into a 30-second phone message to our Members of Congress.

We need a massive outpouring of tens of thousands of these little messages to counteract the pro-amnesty May Day marches that are scheduled all across our nation today.

By the time Members of Congress see the marches on TV news this evening, they will know from your phone calls that most voters not only oppose an amnesty but want to start driving the 12 million illegal aliens home by passing the SAVE Act (H.R. 4088).

Most of Congress still would prefer to just sidestep the illegal immigration issue this year. Your phone calls will remind them that the voters expect them to act.

Call your 2 Senators and 1 U.S. Representative at:

202-224-3121


Or call them at their local numbers. You can see those by clicking on http://numbersusa.com/myMembers

No need to argue or debate. Just say something like this:

My name is xxx xmxmx. I'm calling in support of the SAVE Act. The best thing you could do for American workers on this May Day is to pass the SAVE Act -- H.R. 4088.

or

You may want to comment about the pro-amnesty May Day marches and note that their goal of amnesty works against the interests of American workers whose wages are depressed because of the presence of 12-20 million illegal aliens.


We got the nearly miraculous 185 signers on the Discharge Petition (that would force a floor vote) rather quickly. But we still have only 186. We need 32 more to get the necessary majority.

You may never have made a phone call to Congress before. You may have thought you never would.But you can do this. Please prove to yourself that you can do it. Make the phone call now.

THANKS,

Don't think your phone call won't have an effect.  It is precisely this kind of effort (led by NumbersUSA) that killed the comprehensive amnesty bill last summer.  If you don't remember, there were so many people calling in with just a few words against it that the Capitol switchboard was overwhelmed and shut down.  This is the effect that millions of Americans can have.  All it will take, literally, is two or three minutes.  If you care at all about stopping illegal immigration, securing our borders, providing better-paying jobs to American workers, and all of these other components of the issue, please take just a moment out of your day to call both your Senators and your Representative.  Do it in the car, do it over lunch, do it on your smoke break, do it during naptime.  Just do it.

You have a voice in this country, so take this opportunity to use it!


There's my two cents.
