How do you like the email and fax I sent to my Republican In Name Only (RINO) Senator?

Question

Senator XXXXX,

I'm disturbed, to say the least, by your vote for cloture on the Bush-Kennedy-Kyle "No Illegal Alien Left Behind Act of 2007" ... better known as "comprehensive immigration reform".

I spoke with a woman in your office who told me you voted for cloture so that the issue could be debated. Could you please tell me which Senate rule forbids debating the issue before the cloture vote? You see, I understand that your cloture vote actually limited debate on this monstrosity to just 30 hours.

I can't express to you, without resorting to extreme profanity and invectives, just how strongly I object to the amnesty and guest worker provisions in this bill. Then, at the request of the White House, the requirement that illegal aliens pay back income taxes as a condition of their amnesty was left out of the bill. "It would be too hard for the IRS to figure out how much they owe," is what White House press secretary Tony Snow said.....(continued)

Senator, I suggest you not file your taxes and see how much trouble the IRS has in computing how much they think you owe.

I'm also highly unimpressed by the fees and fines the bill purports to impose on illegal aliens, so don't tout them in your response to me. I understand, and so do you, that as soon as this bill is passed a movement will gain steam to waive, or outright repeal, the fines and fees on the grounds that they are excessive. Your collogue from Florida and Republican Party General Chairman, Senator Martinez, has already started the ball rolling and I'm sure Teddy Kennedy will be happy to cosponsor it. I'm sure the moron in the White House would be glad to repeal the fees and fines too, after all, family values don't stop at the Rio Grande you know.

Senator, do you know how the party's base feels about this issue? Do you care? Are you aware of the reception Senators Lindsey Graham and Saxby Chambliss got back in their home states during meetings of the party faithful?

All that was missing was the tar and feathers.

Why don't you schedule a few town hall meetings across the state and see how well your pro-amnesty vote is going over with your constituents? (Tip- have a fast car waiting outside with the motor running.)

I suppose my writing you will make no difference. It's my educated guess that this bill, or something equally as bad, will be passed and signed into law. It's got something for everybody. Big business Republicans will get millions upon millions of poorly educated workers from the third world to drive wages down and socialist Democrats will get millions upon millions of new voters to shower with public benefits ... and please, don't tell me this bill forbids them to collect public benefits. I'm sure you understand that their babies will be eligible for the full range of public benefits starting at birth and a decade or so down the line, after they've become citizens, so will the amnesty recipients.

The Heritage Foundation, using reliable well established methods, has computed the taxpayers cost to be approximately $2.5 trillion dollars over the next twenty to thirty years.

Answer 1

Well said. I sent similar letters and faxes to the three amigos from california, Boxer, Feinstein, and Pelosi. Not that they will listen either. Boxer had her fax machine turned off in every single one of her offices so I had to e-mail her. I will probably get the Thank You for your concern, I voted to build the fence, blah, blah letter. Funny how she never admits to voting AGAINST ever single piece of legislation that would actually do some good. Personally I think we should mount an initiative to recall any Senator that votes for amnesty. Let them know we mean business. That is the only way we will get their attention because they sure as hell are not listening to We the People.

Answer 2

Very good. I've sent similar emails to my senators one of which is Mel Martinez. Keep up the fight! I've also written to the President to keep him in the loop in regards to my displeasure with this nightmare that they are proposing.

Answer 3

I hope he's made to eat it. Very good. It's true Republicans get richer (look at cheney and bush, always with their hand in the cookie jar) while the rest of us work so hard trying to raise our famlies the best we can.

Answer 4

You get a star, and keep on fighting against amnesty

Answer 5

OUTSTANDING!
Very well said.
I've sent similiar emails to my Representatives, as well as the President.

Keep up the pressure.
We WILL be heard.

Answer 6

That was swell, I have emailed and faxed my support for the bill... made a few phone calls..
