Hello indio0617,
I respectfull disagree. Nobody have lost. Wining and Lossing is just a judgement. This is the beginning when even though today's outcome has not been in our favor, we still have made Congressman and Senators think about retrogression. For this ship to change direction it will take sometime. But something good will come out of this. Just a thought.
Focus on all Wash DC NEWS PAPERS Plus National Papers
Folks,
THe result is not declared yet !! ... Do not be pessimistic...and you have nothing to loose execpt the cost of fax and your time.. You all have waited so long patiently -- tonight make the difference by working hard with 1000s of faxes to all media agencies..this can swing the OPINION IN RETRO FAVOUR... USE EMOTIONAL PITCH to show how the govt is causing the cancer patient to suffer and also the thousands of immigrants who work for lousy employers and exploitation, how spouses cannot work... and last but not the least how the govt is loosing US $ by not cashing on EB Visa Fees, L1 Visa, h1, R1. P, A, B, C,D all visa categ.... make it sound generic on this. Ask for Retro capt and make it sound it with a price tag to it...

I totally agree with this one, also I have questions:
the Demo said that Repulicians controlled everything, but Bush make the LC waiting to shorten by useing PERM( I think he promised the 90 days thing).
also repulicians "controlled" the senators, why such a provision is so objected in HOUSE? who are those congressman "blackmailed", what's their historic votes in immigrations? Let's get media etc involoved, but I don't know if they will be with us or with like NUMERSUSA...
we may need a better website, I went through NUMERSUSA, they are more quick and more infor than us, we are just at a start, I suggest we have pages to educate people and put our point, for each of their pages, we have an opposite one, and we need more powerful resources with us to know the info and direct us to go...
we need to look for all kinds of resources, like lobbyst, lawmakers,competeUSA, government officers, Mr president, AILA,media,relegions who has ever shown their support in the past and keep searching for new support ...even if this time it not success, we need to keep fighting...there are people support us, we need to hold their hand in the dark...

Indio pls do not be disheartened coz somone in congress told Waldenpond, that it is dead. Waldenpond, no offence to you pls, really no offence meant at all. But i agree with Sundar99, unless we read something on a reputed (preferably News) website, let us not get disheartened just yet. Even the immigration-law website wsa singing 2 tunes abt this bill upto yesterday.
Like i said, everyone i called mentioned that there was no word on either the EB reforms OR the other issues and inface one person told me that the House committee was formed only today, and that is all for the day regarding this particular committee. Once again WaldenPond no offence meant to you (or to anyone over here). Pls keep the fight going. Call them tomorrow, fax them. I suggest EVERYONE and their spouses PLS CALL instead of just faxing from ISNamerica. Keep this fight going till the very end. If at each stage we get disheartened, this flame is soon gonna go out.

Thank You my friend. This is a very well compiled concise list. Will start working off of this list.
Thanks again.
Headlines... this is not complete yet ... as i said, some others have to come up with a draft too.... 
iam still writing and correct me if iam wrong ............
Painful story of legal immigration and big investment loss to the government.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is frustrating at best, because professionals of the highest quality, tax payers who have contributed to the US and households who brought family values to this country are going through pain and agony.
The govt is blind not taking any actions and letting other nations such as Asia to take advantage. This is the story of thousands of hard working to-be legal immigrants. "xyz" is working for his life, moreover his wife is not allowed to work and share the burden of their household. "xyz" is a cancer patient and he has to work in order to fight against his illness.

Guys,
My personal gratitude for everyone on here for working tirelessly on this issue, the past couple days.
1. I've been on the phone literally the entire day, but was not fortunate enough to get a reliable source about the status. But been productive nonetheless. Made several contacts also in the process.
2. Whatever happens 'morrow, I think we all agree there are some positives to take home, and ofcourse we'll do the "lessons learnt" bit to improve on next time (if needed)
3. Anti-immigration websites and organizations seem to be a little more organized and experienced. But that just comes with dealing with such bills a couple times. Hopefully we won't have to do that more than twice, if at all.
We should discuss their strengths in the "lessons learnt" bit and counter that
4. About the ad in media about our friend that is ill, I humbly request everyone NOT to keep publicizing this w/o the person's involvement. A person's health is a very personal matter that should not be discussed in a forum such as this w/o consent. In any case, we shouldn't be using his plight to further our cause. Even though I feel we can do a parallel effor to help him by writing an article/contacting a lawmaker on his behest. This should be his personal decision and we can help with whatever he may need in the near future.
5. There was a thread to create media awareness about retrogression and some ppl (including myself) had pledged some $$. Well, it is time to make rhetoric into action. Lets do it. I am not sure how much it will cost, but keep it simple, not too expensive and hit whatever media outlet we can afford (such as rollcall etc)
6. After S1932 is passed in whatever form, we should draft a letter to the conferees on how their decision is going to affect us and make sure the media also gets it. 2006 being an election year, no congressman/senator wants any negative publicity. Nothing wrong in being anti-immigration, but there's no pride in being hypocritical. If someone is anti-immigration, they say so. If not, then do the right thing. We should let people hear our story.
Hopefully we'll hear some good news 'morrow. Otherwise I am not one bit dissappointed. The fighting spirit shown in this forum is a big victory by itself.
Thank You.
