DREAM ACT AMNESTY VOTING STARTS TODAY

Could Go Either Way -- Pro-Amnesty Forces Say They Will Win
Because They Will Outphone Us For The First Time

GREAT PLAINS STATE SENATORS HOLD KEY
-- PLEASE PHONE THEM

The first vote is set for 2:15 this afternoon.

Both sides question whether they can win without most or all of these key Senators from the Great Plains.

The other side is out-phoning your Senators right now. We need every one of you who live in those states to pick up a phone and make your voice heard.

(R-Kansas) Sen. Brownback
D.C. Office: 202-224-6521
Local Office: 785-233-2503

(D-Montana) Sen. Baucus
D.C. Office: 202-224-2651
Local Office: 406-657-6790

(D-Montana) Sen. Tester
D.C. Office: 202-224-2644
Local Office: 406-252-0550

(D-Nebraska) Sen. Nelson
D.C. Office: 202-224-6551
Local Office: 402-391-3411

(D-North Dakota) Sen. Conrad
D.C. Office: 202-224-2043
Local Office: 701-232-8030

(D-North Dakota) Sen. Dorgan
D.C. Office: 202-224-2551
Local Office: 701-239-5389

(D-South Dakota) Sen. Johnson
D.C. Office: 202-224-5842
Local Office: 605-332-8896

Dorgan and Tester appear to be leaning in our direction -- against amnesty. Your phone calls can keep them that way.

Baucus, Conrad and Nelson show nearly every sign from the past that they should be with us and against DREAM amnesty. But none of them has been willing to pledge a NO vote.

The pro-DREAM lobbyists are counting Brownback and Johnson as definite YES votes.

Although I know from past experience that Brownback would love to see any amnesty pass, he doesn't want to upset Republican Leadership by joining the Democratic Leadership in its open-borders efforts. A pro-amnesty vote now could cause him some trouble in his November election to be governor of Kansas. If you put enough calls into his offices, I think we can get a NO out of Brownback.

Why would Johnson be outspokenly pro-amnesty when virtually all other Senators of the Great Plains aren't eager at all to be identified as pro-illegal-immigration? Please don't give him a pass. Lobby him today!

The only other Great Plains Senators are Johann (R-Neb.) and Roberts (R-Kan.). They appear to be solidly AGAINST the DREAM amnesty.

Pro-amnesty zealots are predicting that a massive, last-minute phone bank effort by the website DailyKos and the SEIU unions will bury our anti-amnesty voices today. (See the boasts lower in this email.)

They claim that they have processed more than 60,000 pro-amnesty phone calls to Congress through their phone banks!

We need your phone calls, urging opposition to any amnesty for illegal aliens during this time of incredible unemployment.

NumbersUSA had grassroots activists in the Capitol yesterday visiting nearly every Senate office. In many offices, staffers said your phone calls are matching the pro-amnesty calls 50-50. But many more said we are losing 40-60 and by even more.

Friends, always in the past, Senators have faced an amnesty vote knowing that phone calls were running 80-20 and even 99-1 in our favor. It is part of the reason we have beaten every amnesty since 2000.

Please don't let yourself or your country down by failing to make a critical phone call today (and hopefully several of them).

CONGRESSIONAL SWITCHBOARD -- 202-224-3121

It appears that the vote today will be very close. If the Senate Leadership succeeds in its first vote today, we seem likely to have a second vote on Wednesday. Senators are being lobbied furiously by the pro-amnesty forces. They and their staffs need to hear from you.

When you phone, stress that:
DREAM amnesty has zero enforcement. Illegal-alien teenagers are in their current predicament because their parents were allowed to illegally take jobs and then hold them. The DREAM amnesty would allow millions more parents to do the same in the future.


Millions more illegal aliens will be enticed to come and take U.S. jobs once they see the way previous illegal aliens are rewarded by the DREAM amnesty.


This new flow of illegal workers will further the suffering of 22 million unemployed Americans who want a job but can't find one.


A vote for DREAM amnesty is a vote in favor of bringing in more illegal foreign workers and keeping millions of Americans jobless.
PRO-AMNESTY BLOG BOASTS ABOUT OVERWHELMING US
IN THE PHONE ACTIVISM EFFORT

On the immigration law website called ILW.com today, we found this troubling boast:

Democratic activists across the country are banding together for the largest phone call campaign in pro-immigration history.

DailyKos, one of the most important progressive websites has joined forces with the Service Employees International Union, the most pro-immigration among the major unions, to phone bank the Senate switchboard into a jammed state.

We believe this will be the first time ever that the pro-immigration calls will out-number the anti-immigrationists. We congratulate both DailyKos and SEIU on this outstanding initiative and we urge our readers to participate, seehere for how.

In the past, those Senators who wanted to weasel out of supporting immigration benefits legislation have pointed to the lop-sided numbers in phone calls for and against. The numbers often cited by such nervous Senators were 1-to-40, 1-to-70, and even 1-to-100 against the pro-side.

For the first time, these nervous nellies will have the kind of numbers they have demanded from pro-immigration advocates; the better phone ratios will provide political cover for YES votes on DREAM.

With grassroots pro-immigration supporters lighting up the phone-lines across the country, the spotlight is now on the Democratic leadership, especially President Obama and Majority Leader Reid to ensure that there are no Democratic defections on DREAM.

IF YOU HAVE NEVER PHONED A SENATE OFFICE BEFORE, let me assure you that it can be very easy.

1. Just call and say hello to the staffer who answers.

2. Say you are calling in opposition to including the DREAM Act amnesty in the Defense bill.

3. You can give maybe one reason why you think DREAM is a bad idea.

4. Thank the staffer for listening and say good-bye.

Friends, it is most important that you get these Senators' staffers thinking about DREAM in terms of jobs and unemployed Americans.

PLEASE DON'T DELAY. MAKE YOUR PHONE CALLS NOW.

THANKS,
