Winter blast DREAM Act action list

Target Republicans: Collins, Murkowski, Voinovich, Snowe, LeMieux

WINTER BLAST

Most of the nation is locked in a deep freeze while Congress is locked in a steel cage debate on tax cuts and unemployment relief.  There is a winter weather advisory across most of the U.S. and a massive spending advisory in Washington D.C. to the tune of a $858 billion tax-cut compromise.  The Senate final vote on the tax bill is expected later today or tomorrow.  The DREAM Act amnesty, which already passed the House, could move any day this week.  While it is highly unlikely to occur today, Senator Reid (D-NV) could at any time bring the House-passed version of the DREAM Act to a test vote. If the Senate moves this week on the DREAM Act amnesty, the action will not likely occur until Wednesday, December 15, 2010, or later.  This gives us time during this arctic plunge to stand up and take action to protect the American workers.

THE PROBLEM

The pro-amnesty and open-border groups are beating us across the board in just about every category.  They are placing more calls to target Senators, they are visiting more swing-vote offices in target states, and they are sending more e-mails, facebook and tweets.  They are hungry, they have a small window of golden opportunity and they are very well mobilized.  They are younger and more well-funded.  They are confident that they can get the 60 votes required to make the DREAM Act law.

The DREAM Act already passed in the House.  If it passes in the Senate, the President will sign it into law and amnesty will be the law of the land.  Just to be clear. If the DREAM Act amnesty (H.R. 5281) passes it will become law!  Amnesty will be the immediate law of the land and illegal immigrants will immediately be able to apply for conditional lawful permanent resident status (conditional LPR status).  There is no cap on the number of aliens who may receive conditional LPR status, and such status may be extended indefinitely.  There is no end date for the application process.  And read this out loud:  There can be no repeal on this amnesty if it becomes law.  Here's what you can do to help STOP the DREAM Act today.

ACTION LIST

We need specific calls, emails, facebook and tweets focused on this target list, and most importantly, we need feedback to share with our team.  If we are going to STOP the DREAM Act, we need to focus and do this hard work.  If each of you could donate 30-40 minutes of your time over the next 24 hours, contact these 5 Senators, we may have a chance.  But right now we are in jeopardy of losing these targets.  And we need feedback from their offices.

Message:  The DREAM Act is an amnesty for 2.1 million illegal immigrants.  It is very disappointing that Sen. Reid is trying to force an amnesty through Congress and onto the American people when 27 million Americans cannot find a job.  Unemployment in Oxford, Piscataquis, Somerset, and Washington counties is above 9% and climbing.  Congress needs to concentrate on creating jobs for these Americans and legal immigrants instead of giving amnesty to illegal aliens!  Please vote NO on the DREAM Act.
