THE MAJORITY SPOKE - "NO AMNESTY!!"

Amnesty Stripped From Iraq Spending Bill!

05*23*08

Victory For Grassroots Americans Grassfire has confirmed that ALL amnesty language has been stripped from the Iraq Supplemental Spending Bill as the result of tens of thousands of phone calls, faxes and fast action by a number of key Senators who sent a letter to Majority Leader Harry Reid demanding the language be dropped.

This happened as a direct result of grassroots actions. Thank you!

The Letter from Sen. Jim Inhofe's office reads:

Dear Majority Leader Reid:

We write to express disappointment that the Senate Appropriations Committee chose to include in the War Supplemental more than 100 pages of immigration language that would grant legal status to more than one million illegal alien agricultural workers and their families. We urge you to remove these controversial provisions from the bill so we can enact essential funding for our troops without delay. If these provisions remain in the bill, you can expect a vigorous debate on immigration policy.

The letter was signed by 10 Senators, their names and contact information are below if you would like to call and thank them for their efforts:

While this amnesty attempt has been thwarted, the double-layered border fence that was promised to us to help secure our borders is not being built. Grassfire is headed to Capitol Hill for a national press conference on this issue, and we want to present at least 250,000 petitions from citizens to key House leadership demanding the fence be built as promised! If you haven't yet signed this important petition, you can do so now simply by clicking here. http://www.grassfire.org/242/petition.asp

*** Illegal immigration should have stopped on September 12, 2001.

*** Remember, if you are serious about doing something about illegal immigration at the very least, start by getting then staying informed.

*** If the government of the United States was serious about the invasion of our nation by illegal aliens, they would do more about it. And if you do not think this is an invasion, then try and stop it.

*** Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist"

*** A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take away everything you have -- Thomas Jefferson

*** "The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil but because of those who look on and do nothing." --Albert Einstein

*** The American media reports the news under the privilege granted to them under the First Amendment. But they also have the moral responsibility associated with that right to report it without a leftist slant.
