House Rules Comm. Soon to Release Which Amendments Will Be Allowed in THIS AFTERNOON’s Votes on Illegal-Alien Enforcement Bill
The House Rules Committee worked all Wednesday afternoon and throughout much of the night sorting through 150-some amendments that were filed for H.R. 4437. NumbersUSA will report here as soon as the Rules Committee announces the list ... Members of Tom Tancredo’s Immigration Reform Caucus fought with leadership last night behind closed doors and in letters to try to remove potential killer language that was being slipped in at the last moment. The language would have the House going on record as essentially saying that the House believes that the nation needs a large guestworker program, even though it was not including one in this enforcement-only bill. If that non-legally-binding language stays in the bill, NumbersUSA likely will be recommending a vote to kill the Rule for the bill which would effectively kill the bill ... H.R. 4437 is an "enforcement only" effort that the House Judiciary Committee passed last week. The bill includes no type of amnesty for illegal aliens, no expanded foreign guestworker program and no change in number of green cards for permanent residency. The bill includes many positive measures to tighten and toughen enforcement against illegal immigration. However, H.R. 4437 is only a first-step in creating the enforcement that is needed. It is missing many critical provisions required to reduce the illegal population of this country. Click here to read more.

She asked me for the topic and I mentioned the Bill. She said she has received hundreds of call regarding it today and that she will pass it on to the senator.
She also said that the provisions are still in the bill and have not been removed
She was in a hurry to hang up but I asked her to take down my name and my zip code because I live in Philadephia and he is the senator of Philadelphia. She was like 'Oh, thats nice' and took my details. I wanted to leave my phone number but she said she already had that due to caller ID.
She mentioned that all the info about calls would be given to the Senator when he comes back to his office from the Senate sometime in the afternoon.
So my advise,
1) Call from a any phone but dial the number a *67- 202-224-4254
Because of *67, it hides the caller ID and the phone number does not show. Then you can claim that you are calling from Philadelphia and give any number with area code 610 or 215
2) Tell them that you are from PA state and that your zip code is one of the following 19141, 19146, 19444, 19428 etc...these are all zip codes around Philadelphia
3) Now that you have established that you are from PA, tell them the rest and we should be fine.
Guys, call as many senators and as many times as you can and lets get this done lest we repent for a long long time.....
