The Amnestybill Horror

The Amnestybill Horror is back and working it’s way through the Senate.

The film “Amityville Horror” was a box office success despite being given poor reviews by critics such as Leonard Maltin and Roger Ebert, who described it as “dreary and terminally depressing.”

The past few weeks have been “dreary and terminally depressing” for those of us who oppose this terrible legislation. It’s as if our Senators have gone totally deaf.

While President Bush, key Republicans and most Democrats in the Senate embrace this turd, seventy percent of Americans see it for what it is – a badly cobbled together morass of pork, inadequate security and abundant entitlements for illegal aliens. Yep – illegal means they broke the law – illegal means they should be punished, deported and get in the back of the line.

I’m told that there’s still time to do something about it . . .

Immigration bill reintroduced, but it’s not over!
4 Immediate Action Items to Kill the Amnesty Bill

The Senate has voted to reconsider the immigration bill and to proceed to limited debate before a final vote on passage, but the effort to defeat this bill is far from over. In fact, now is the time we must stand up and intensify our efforts! Before the bill can pass, another cloture vote must succeed with the support 60 Senators. In short, we can still defeat it!

I’m sharing four steps we must take now to defeat this bill.

Some Senators who voted to reconsider the immigration bill have indicated they may still vote against cloture to end debate. Their explanation is they want to see how the bill looks after amendments. It is up to us to show them that this bill, in spite of almost any amendments that are tacked on to it, is unacceptable to the American people!

Step One: Amendments
Learn about the amendments that anti-amnesty and pro-border security Senators will be introducing that force security before path to legalization. Click here to be brought to the Secure Borders Now blog on amendments that will help defeat this bill. We will continue to keep it up to date with the latest information.

Step Two: Call Senators Who Voted For Cloture
After learning about the amendments, call the Senators who voted to limit debate and proceed to a final vote. We will keep the list of Senators we can influence up to date on the Secure Borders Now blog as well. Click here to learn whose minds we can change and how to reach them.

Step Three: More Voices = More Power
Senator Inhofe will continue to present updates to the petition to his fellow Senators. Spread the word about the Secure Borders Now petition to your family, your friends, and people in your community. We’ve already prepared a forward to friends invitation e-mail and form. Click here to forward the petition to up to five of your friends.

Step Four: Positive Reinforcement
All Senators are under tremendous pressure from the Senate’s Democrat Leadership and the White House to vote in favor of the amnesty bill. Click here to see the Senators who voted against the reintroduction of the immigration bill. Call them and thank them for their vote and encourage them to continue holding strong against this bill.

Together, we can still win this battle. We must continue working together until this immigration bill has been defeated once and for all.

Thank you,
The Secure Borders Team
