Yesterday, Harry Reid announced plans to take last year's amnesty bill to the floor of the Senate next week with a possible vote in two weeks.
He is doing this because the Kennedy-McCain-Bush negotiations are stalled.
These guys are playing hard-ball politics over which version of amnesty will be passed in Congress. But let’s be clear -- they all agree on one thing, which is passing an amnesty bill.
Here's what it means for you and me...
We must immediately accelerate our Stop Amnesty
grassroots efforts and be running at 110%!
+ + Amnesty Alert Action Item #1
I emailed you a few days ago asking for help rallying petition signers. Truth be told, we’ve only seen a few thousand new signers. I know there are more citizens out there that oppose amnesty, but I need your help to reach them. We simply must have TENS OF THOUSANDS of new petitions before our scheduled delivery the week of May 21.
Please send this message to at least 25 people and ask them
to sign the "Stop The Invasion/No Amnesty" petition:

+ + Amnesty Alert Action Item #2
We have identified these key senators who need to hear from the grassroots right now. Please call all the senators listed and use these talking points:
Talking Point #1 --
First, I am outraged that Harry Reid is pressuring the Senate to
rush ahead with a vote this month on last year's immigration
bill.
Talking Point #2 --
Second, I want you to know that I strongly oppose any bill that
gives amnesty to illegals.
Talking Point #3 --
Amnesty is any bill that rewards illegal alien lawbreakers with
legal status.
