Do you think it will do any good to contact our US Senators&Congressmen to tell them our feelings on THE BILL?

Yes- write, email, or phone their office. While they may not agree with your position on a piece of legislation, and your voice may not single-handedly change their mind, there's a staffer in their office that keeps up with constituent correspondence. If the Congressman/ Senator receives enough constituent input on one side or the other on a bill, they will take that into consideration when voting on the bill... \n \nFor example, if a bill comes up and the Congressman receives constituent correspondence that supports the bill at a rate of 90%, and 10% oppose the bill, he'll most likely vote the way his constituents have asked him to. If he gets 50-50 response, he's probably going to vote the party line. \n\nIf they didn't, they realize that come next election, they may not end up back in their seat in Congress.

The best thing to do would be to send a message to your two senators. You can get their contact information by choosing your state from the pull-down menu at the site below.

I hope he is sincere...It is in the best interest of our Country... I think we did an intervention on him and woke him from a stooper...I really think he knows how the American people feel now...The houses cannot do anything without his signature..He cannot do anything without their votes. The congress and senate do not want to be seen as lameducks for getting nothing accomplished like this last Republican congress..And the President does not what to leave office with a 39% approval rating...It is in both interest to work together....

I don't know if this will help but have you tried writing a letter to your Congressman, your Senators and even one to the President.  Detail the events, the letter can be long, all these people have staff members that read their mail.  The trick is to get past the staff and into the hands of the legislators.\n\nI can be reached through contact info in my profile.  If I can help with the letter or anything else, it would be my honor to help a legal immigrant.

Yes voting...But the problem is they are trying to pass the bill at a time no elections or voting is taking place. They are not daring to put this out here at this time for us to vote on. While they do this, they as well as many groups with personal gain and interests are spreading false poll results and false statistics to persuade Americans that it is a done deal and that they would be out voted on this.\n\nIt couldn't be farther from the truth. I have a website with a polls forum on every important national poll going on right now. So it would be a good idea for everyone to go there and put their votes in. So that the truth of how the MAJORITY OF AMERICANS feel about all this. At the moment it is running 95% against amnesty at all the polls I have seen in 2 days.\nThere are also links to sites who will email or fax all your congressmen and the president about your views for free.\n\nhttp://alipac.us/forums.html

Setting aside the political animosity this topic has brought out, the email address and all other contact information for the President and Vice President can be found by clicking on the link below.\n\nWill the President read it?  Pretty darn unlikely.  But then, when you send a letter to your US Representative, do they personally read it?  Most likely not, they'll assign reading to a staffer, who can then bring forth interesting ideas and comments to his/her attention.\n\nI once wrote to President Reagan, and got a nice form letter back from some special assistant.  That's just the way it goes.  But consider, if any elected representative did nothing but read every email and letter sent it, that would be the only thing he/she got done.

All we can do is hope at this point but congress rating is the lowest it ever was. Good chance we will get one or both. I sure hope so.

That bill also included the doubling of the H2-B foreign worker program. This program does the same as the illegal immigrants do,only at the TOP of the job level. It gives leadership,technical, blue-collar, office jobs, to foreign workers. Then they conveniently forget their Visa expired and just stay. There was a lot of "pork" in that bill that we were not aware of. American citizens should write, call and e-mail their congressmen and senators to let them know how we oppose amnesty in any form for the ILLEGALS in our country. They should be deported for the felony they have committed. Our border should be CLOSED! When congress resumes in two weeks they will see how much we want this issue taken care of in the right way "for American citizens". I for one will contact my congressman and I urge every American who is fed up with illegal immigrants sucking this country dry of the programs and assistance meant for the legal citizens to do the same. If the LEGAL immigrants who came here the proper way can't stand up for the country that welcomed them in then I think they should  pack up and go to their respective countries as well. I'm sick of Mexicans, Latinos, Hispanics, and any other people from south of the USA border who think they own a piece of our country.I once was welcoming to the LEGALS but now, I'm getting fed up with them, too!!!\n\nType into "search" the words "Senate"  or  "Congressman" to find your senator or congressman to e-mail or mail a letter.

You are  exactly right.  Also I'm tired of having to press 2 or 4 for English when it is the official language of the United Statesof America!  One thing that will help is to write or e-mail your congressman.  They figure one letter will represent about 10 opinions, so let 'um have it.

"My fellow Americans, Tomorrow thousands of Government Bureaucrats will receive pink slips as I am eliminating the department of housing and urban development and the department of education.  In one swoop of a pen I will save the government millions and improve education in America.  Later today I will sign the Fair Tax bill into law, eliminating the income tax and all other pay role taxes and the Internal Revenue Service enacting a Federal sales tax to be enforced by the states.  This act will eliminate vast amounts of government waste and bring power back to the citizens of the country.  \n\nI look forward to bringing you a government that will bring you more liberty and take less from you, giving you more responsibility and freedom to live as you choose, a government of the people and for the people.  I believe as Thomas Jefferson did that 'he who governs least, governs best'"

That I am not sure of, but it would be something great for the women of this Country to finally be recognized for what we do for this country. This is something that you can write to your Local and State Congressman about. Enough letters will get this noticed and will get passed on to the president.

I feel very let down by him.  \n\nI have supported him up until this.  Although, I feel that he does have sincere compassion for these poeple, he should have more concern for his own constituents' security.

For the good of the nation and the good of the world, God, I hope so!\n\nThen we need the GOP congressives to stop spending like drunken sailors and read the Constitution, and GDubya to start vetoing the bloated bills that come to him.\n\nDo the congressives understand that their low polls are due to their failure to restrain themselves and the growth of government and their failures to support good and necessary legislation (immigration, soc.sec. reform, etc)?
