Bush-Kennedy Amnesty Bill Update

To: The American People

 

**Back-room "Amendments For Amnesty" plan

underway (Details and TWO calls to action below)

 

 

Folks,

 

I was just informed that the back-room plan is currently underway to bring Bush-Kennedy back and get it quickly passed through the Senate. I call it "amendments for amnesty."

 

Here's what's happening.

 

President Bush and the Amnesty Republicans are attempting to convince about a dozen Republicans to support "cloture" on Bush-Kennedy in exchange for a commitment that a set list of amendments will be considered -- thus, "amendments for amnesty."

 

Also, Bush and the amnesty leaders are strong-arming conservatives into accepting the "amendments for amnesty" deal or face being banished into Senate oblivion.

 

Amnesty Republicans have already submitted their list of amendments to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Once the "amendments for amnesty" deal is finalized between Reid and the Republicans, the bill will be quickly brought back to the floor. The amendments will be defeated and amnesty passed.

 

+ + We can stop "Amendments For Amnesty"!

 

People, this is the FOURTH TIME our leaders have gone behind closed doors to work out some secret scheme to get this bill passed. Despite unprecedented and overwhelming grassroots opposition, they think they can still pull off their legislative, slight-of-hand trickery!

 

+ + Call to Action #1 -- Call these Senators and say you oppose

this "Amendments for Amnesty" deal

Talking Points (Your calls will carry more weight if you are polite and respectful!):

 

1. I understand that Senate leaders are working on a back-room deal

that will bring the Amnesty bill back for a vote in exchange

for consideration on certain amendments.

 

2. I oppose this "Amendments for Amnesty" deal.

 

3. If you support this deal, then you will forever be listed as

a supporter of amnesty.

 

4. The American people have spoken in opposition to this amnesty

bill. I urge you to oppose this deal and the bill.

 

 

+ + Call to Action #2 -- We need more faxes and help with a new

blockbuster "Where's The Fence?" ad

 

I have added each of these targeted Senators to our FaxFire system.

We need to keep a constant stream of faxes into these offices and literally the entire Senate -- along with the White House until this horrific "amnesty" legislation is dead and buried. Go here to send your faxes NOW:

We also have a blockbuster new "Where's The Fence?" spot in final development that will specifically target any senator who helps bring this bill back for a vote.

 

These ads will forever affix "amnesty" to the key senators who strike this "amendments for amnesty" deal. I need funds immediately.
