Stand FAST

House Republicans in policy retreat right now -- 
Immigration Sell-out possible!
We MUST STAND when 
the House returns Monday
At this very hour, in a resort on the Chesapeake Bay, Speaker John Boehner and Budget Chairman Paul Ryan are trying to persuade Republican House Members to accept a set of "Immigration Principles."
The key "immigration principle" is work permits and legalization (amnesty) for millions of illegal immigrants. If they do this, it's an utter sell-out.
Whatever decision is reached, amnesty supporters are sure to present us with a colossal legislative battle that we will need to respond to with millions of faxes and hundreds of thousands of toll-free phone calls. Over the past two weeks, we have been mobilizing our forces, but we need your help to pay for this.
Your financial help is critical, right now.
The Republican leadership is pressing so hard for "immigration reform" that President Obama's State of the Union comments on immigration last night seemed downright friendly. No finger-pointing or blaming, just a simple, "Let's get it done."
In the Republican Response, House Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers simply called for "reform." She had all the same rhetoric about enforcement that the proponents of last year's Senate amnesty bill used, but she made no mention of any specific measures to secure the border and no mention at all of interior enforcement; she only upped the ante by suggesting that we need to "attract" still more workers while we still have tens of millions of unemployed and underemployed.
Republican leaders are avoiding the word, "amnesty." But former Vice Presidential nominee and Budget Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan said Republicans mustallow illegal aliens to "come out of the shadows and reintegrate into society."The term they are pushing is "legalization," which of course means amnesty.
There is hope, however. As desperately as the Republican leadership covets all the political support and money from the open borders lobby, they know there's only so much they can afford to betray the voters. They're hoping voters will excuse, forget, or simply fail to notice their betrayal. If voters (NumbersUSA members) push back hard enough, GOP leaders have hinted they may back off.
It's up to us to supply the pushback in the form of toll-free calls and faxes to Congress by the millions. Again, we need funds to pay for this.

There is definitely a growing mood of confusion and aggravation among conservatives in the House over the immigration issue right now, one House GOP aide said in an email to Breitbart News... Do we really want to just give up the midterms like this? the aide asked.
"House Conservatives Plot Takedown of GOP Leaders' Amnesty Plans"Breitbart News. January 23, 2013
Billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg and Mayor Bloomberg hire 100 lobbyists for every lobbyist our side has. But we have two million supporters an army of "volunteer, citizen lobbyists," if you will. They can't come up to Washington and wine and dine congressmen like the billionaires, but when they send a fax to Congress, it does get read. One or two may get scanned by a staffer and thrown on a pile, but when thousands arrive, the Representatives themselves start to notice.
We arm our "citizen lobbyists" with facts. We let them send the right message at the right time to the right people. We even deliver their faxes, and pay for their toll-free phone calls. We dont spend even a tiny fraction of what the cheap-labor and open-borders lobby spend. But all this does cost money. We need your help.
Many people are starting to believe that they have no power in Washington. Well, it's been fifteen years since Congress passed an amnesty. Congress wants one. President Bush wanted one, and didn't get one. President Obama wants one, and hasn't gotten it, yet. So far, we've been holding the line. Each dollar our donors have given us has had the political power of hundreds of dollars from the other side. And right now, every dollar you contribute will be matched by two more dollars from generous donors and foundations who would otherwise be limited by the I.R.S. in how much they can give.
President Obama claimed last night that "immigration reform" would save a trillion dollars over the next twenty years. But we spend a trillion dollars every year on anti-poverty measures, and giving millions of American jobs to immigrants explodes the ranks of the poor.
You can make a difference in Washington. We can help. Please, give today, before Congress writes off an entire generation of American workers.
