my take on this! I read parts of this document (faithingod's) carefully, and it is my understanding (and an optimistic belief) that what you see in here is to be attached to the original S.1932. It also includes those topics which were controversial, which means that some of senate provisions...

Can someone pl. post the c-span link here?

Khodalmd, I had made the call around 11:00am. The information below is all that I got! I called the same number that Waldenpond called last night. BUT, ever since so many people are getting this "not everything is finanlized yet" message that I am beginning to think that the battle just...

So, maybe we should stop calling Conyers.

So, what did you answer? :-)

So, *Temporary relief for retrogression* should be our aim! I totally agree with RajGC that big corps can look for for themselves with the H1-B thing! But, for the retro relief thing - I don't think we have the big corps on our side. They love the present situation where they literally...

Update: I called the House Judiciary committee about 2 hrs back and was told this: "No immigration provisions are included in the conference report" "The conference is closed - final signatures are done, the congress will be voting on it today." I still feel that we need to wait and see.

FIRST THINGS FIRST While we are trying hard to coordinate efforts and collect contact information, I think it is very important that we know what we are doing. The topmost thing we need is CLARITY, so that our efforts are NOT half-hearted and we can also ENCOURAGE MORE NEW PEOPLE to join...

WP, Thanks for letting everyone know. I just read ur private message and replid to it. Is that book tv thing ON today? I totally agree that we need to remain private, and we need to coordinate our efforts somewhat better. Will post my thoughts on this shortly. S.

Hi Hopeful, Ya, I like the idea of keeping this thread, and opening the other thread just to get the contact info. That sounds good. S.

Is S.1932 going to be voted today in the house + senate? any news on that?Also, what if it is rejected?

thank you! I think all of us should have also preceded our calls with one simple question: "Can you please tell us if the conference report includes sec 8001 of S.1932.ES?" If we were actually reading the forum messages, we knew they were meeting on friday! I got this on thursday, and...

If you read my messages from last 2-3 days, I did request all to call the congressmen more, so I am sure some readers heeded to the request. Also, I did my best to call congressmen - I am from MD, additionally, I called congressmen from Washington State, Montana, MA etc too! S.

WP, Why is it not over yet? You said it was last night!!!! What makes u think that efforts will work? Have you something positive.... Just kidding :) anyway, I could hardly sleep. BTW, you may be right abt friday being the decision day. My established contact at Senator Mikulski's...

Everyone, Any luck with contacting reporters?? Does anyone have contacts at some top newspapers already? Also, if we are writing letters etc. we should also attach all already-published articles on immigration to that. Depending on what happens to the S.1932 bill, NEWS will pick up the...

Please don't change the thread Hopeful_123 Hi, I think it is best to stick to this thread if you want maximum participation, as people are already accustomed to come here and check out whats going on. Importantly, this message of yours will get lost as more messages are posted, so new...

We should stay connected for future efforts. I think we should first try to find out why the provision was removed. Understanding the problem will help to create a good solution that will work. Also, don't give up just yet! Lets have the official news!

WaldenPond I called the offices of the Senate & House Judiciary committees. No response on either. Do you think that you probably got a wrong number & someone played a prank on you? Just hopeful, S.

WaldenPond, Which number did you call? Can you post the link for the Judiciary committee office of the Congress?
