We Did It
What a gift. What a Day. These Senators who voted NO on Byrd's amendment made our day.
The game is still not over. We still have to clear third step. Few things we have to do before President signs this bill.
1. Send email or fax or call all senators who voted NO and thanks them.
2. Send email or fax or call all senators who voted NO and request them to support the bill and make no changes when the house and Senate meet next week to clear our the difference between the senate and house version of the bill.
Cheers

Nice! So when does this go to Congress for discussion?
What is the next step?
Hey guys,
Assuming this bill now passes in the Senate, WITH the immigration reforms, what is our next step? Is there a list of ppl in the House we can contact?
If there is can someone post that particular list please?
There was some talk abt posting an Ad in some washington DC newspaper "roll call". Is that stil on?
I think everyone on here needs more direction now as to what the next step is, so that if we can somehow sheperd the House ppl. (On that note what are ppl who are in the House called? are they the Congressmen?)
Thanks

So far they have acted on twelve amendments this afternoon. Please stay tuned to this Breaking News site for the breath-taking news.

Good job!
Guys..everyone who worked hard at this lobbying efforts deserves kudos. Great job. I am personally faxing Thank you messages to Senators from my state. Everyone else please do the same and keep the momentum going. Next step is to get it through the housed-senate conference committee. Thanks everyone.

We need to explain what recapture means
A pretty convincing argument is the one that the visa number incrase is necessary to relief people who has been in the greencard card queue for many years already. It is not necessarily about bringing more people in. Also, we should send letters to the immigration reduction leaders (NumbersUSA, FAIR). If we get some of them to understand our cause, the opposition may be minimized and we are fine from there. I will express that the greencard applicants do not benefit from H1B increase, but it is a reality that an optimal number of H1Bs are necessary to keep America competitive and avoid more offshoring, therefore the S.1932 bill is legitimate.
Good work everyone !

Guys:
CONGRATS to all of us !! Our cup is only half full. Let's not lose any momentum. The action shifts towards lobbying hard with the house of Reps now.
It was also heartening to note thet we won with such a huge margin 85 -14.
I am tired but also thrilled with today's event.

we are on the same boat, helpwithGC
HelpwithGC, we are on the same boat here, i am also affected by this retrogression (EB3, PD 2003). I am not trying to make fun here whatsoever. If you are offended by my updating post being too fast, I can just be quiet next time... I was just thinking the other people who do NOT have TV / net access can get some sort of relief as quick as possible.
