(originally posted at TSC forum by ayansgp)Town Hall Meeting in Atlanta
I want some volunteers to attend TOWN HALL MEETING with Congressman Hon. John Lewis (D-GA-5th), on Dec 3rd, between 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm. The location is Conference Center at 999 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, GA 30309.
We attended the meeting yesterday (myself and nomadguru). I had already sent the petition to his office. It was a face-to-face talk with the case worker at his office and also verified that the petition is being considered for legislative purpose in DC. Overall it was a good experience.
I would strongly encourage everybody in this forum to FAX/MAIL the petition to your CONGRESSPERSON with a cover letter.
The members of the Core team,
Please FAX/MAIL the petition to the congressmen in your area.
Don't quite understand or agree to your statement that keeping it low-key and appealing to congressional reps is oxymoronic.Originally posted by wac-ed in CA
the political representatives here will not act for a "low-key" issue - however unjust it may be... keeping it low-key and appealing to congressional reps is contradictory...
I'm back from Southern California just before.Originally posted by kashmir

See you at Ambala Dhaba at 1:30pm on 12/06/2003,

Town Hall Meeting with Lamar Smith
I and another guy (and his wife) from this forum attended the meeting. The main topic of dicussion were health care and job loss (H1B and IT jobs out sourcing were blamed). Emotion ran very high. I dugged my head low throughout the meeting...
After the meeting, I approached Simth's secretary who is in-charge of immigration affair. I wanted to hand over the i485's backlog petition letter. She refused to accept and said they are already aware of the backlog problem at TSC. The only thing we can do is to wait for your turn. The only time they will get involved is when there is life-or-death or US's security related situations.
I mentioned about possible layoffs for H1B holders at this bad economy time. She said by law you should go home if that occurs. She said that having a job is the basis for an employment-based GC to begin with.
So much so for the townhall meeting...

I'd like to encourage to call to your representative's Washington DC office once you sent a letter.
As I posted, I called to three offices today and I could confirm a couple of progresses.
First of all, Congressperson is too busy to read each letter or our petition even if you send a letter to Congressperson,
so it is delivered to one of staffs who handles Immigration issues at Washington DC office.
But she (usually female) is also very busy, so your letter would not be touched for a long time.
I have called a lot of times, and I confirmed it.
So, we need to call to Washington DC office to talk directly with that staff.
If you succeed to talk directly with her or even if you get just her name, it would be very helpful to accelerate your activity.
You can fax your letter directly to her.
However, it is not so easy even just talking directly to the staff at first.
For 80-90% of your call, she is busy talking to other or in a meeting.
Even if you leave a message in her voice mail box, she will never call you back,
so you have to try until you can talk directly with her.
One more tip is:
the operator will usually ask you the organization name,
so you can say "ImmigrationPortal.Com".
Good luck,
