isnamerica.org individual fax
can somebody confirm if we can send individual faxes via isnamerica.org it has to be the same format as desscribed in isnamerica.org.
i was actually thinking if one modify to include for ex where we are working and/or from which comoany we are working then that would have some impact.
i am saying it for those who can disclose their company names.
just an idea... i thought it would have been better if teh format was modifiable.

Hi,
I'm creating a new thread to just collate the number of people who are actively following the S. 1932 thread and willing to do something about it. I'm keeping this as an offshoot for the main thread because I don't want this information to get lost.
I'd like every member who is willing to do something to please sign up for this thread http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=198900
with the following pieces of information:
1) Display Name: E.g. mine is Hopeful_123
2) Email address (optional): Vidya_2000@hotmail.com
(Feel free to create a separate email just for this initiative if you are uncomfortable sharing this information. It will be very helpful if we have it. That way, say we needed someone to visit Lamar Smith's office in Texas - we could just email that person to ask for help. )
3) Area staying in : E.g. mine is Dallas TX
(I feel this is very important because if we know which areas we're all from, we can divide & conquer in terms of contacting senators and reps)
There are over 100 people viewing this thread at any given point of time. I'm sure that over the past few days, over a 1000 distinct people have come here. And if we each take up one congressman or senator & make it our priority to reach them with say Sunjoshi's presentation - it will not be a lot of work for us but we would have divided and conquered.
I've signed up first. Please sign up!! PLEASE LIMIT YOUR POSTING TO ONLY THE INFORMATION MENTIONED IN THIS EMAIL. (WE don't want to clutter it with opinions, etc. That's what this thread is for).
My thread is a sub-thread to get us an idea of the number of people viewing this who are willing to do something about it. (doesn't have to be a lot - even if they are willing to call 1 senator & H.R. that is still something)
Thanks

Came to know yesterday that Laura Reiff, a partner in the law firm my company uses, wrote much of the text of Title VIII of S1932.
I wish I had known this earlier so we could have been a little more organized in fighting for this in terms of 'who to call, when to call, what to say' etc.
Knowing what we know now, we should have called more of the House guys earlier and tried to find what their objections were to Title VIII and tried to work around.
Oh well, live to fight another day.
Immigration-law.com suggests that we keep calling Lamar Smith and get him to bend.

I have left a voice message and sent a fax to congress men Lamar Smith.
This free fax is really helping me a lot. It's too easy to do from home.
It's been long time we heard anything from Supermann...
StuckLabor We should have known this bit earlier so that we would have prioritized our preferences

More on lawyers
Tell me about it, I feel like a fool for all the calls that I made to the Senators when I should have been bombarding the Reps with calls. At least Pdak and Superman got to talk to Sensenbrenner so Sensenbrenner heard a real voice instead of a staffer telling him about a call.
Also found that my own lawyer is on the lobbying committee with DOL re: the Labor cert backlog elimination centers. With some unaccustomed luck, my labor cleared a short time back so my username is no longer valid, but I want to keep working on her to have DOL get some action on Philly backlog center which is way behind Dallas.

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 members who read the messages will not necessarily read your message, and assume this thread died out.
Also, they WILL NOT understand the link between this thread and the new thread! (I have seen this happen a lot (for other topics)!)
To keep the momemtum and the energy I would strongly advice everyone to just stick here.
S.
ps: this thread might just prove lucky at some time!

Guys, Would like to request that please do not stop calling and sending faxes. It is not over yet. The provision is not in the final version at this time but the final version is still being negotiated. Please continue to send faxes and make calls to Congressman's office. Most important once are three Congressman from House of Representative i.e. Congressman Sensenbrenner, Smith and Conyers. It is not over yet .... and still being negotiated .... please send faxes ..... more importantly make calls and attempt to talk to Congressman itself ....
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 most important issues for this country (ANWR, food stamps, education cuts etc.).
IF we want our news to be noticed, we should wait until this "important news" tide cools down, so more people will pay attention and read our issues!
my 2 cents.

Great efforts guys.......We will keep this pace
Great efforts guys, This will pay of some day. Our ancestors fought for Independence for year together peacefully and with determination. We will follow there foot steps.WE ARE SECOND TO NONE. We are intellectual and intelligent people who can do any thing in this world.
Nothing is lost for us we came together now to fight for our issues, Here are my suggestions to improve our efforts for coming months. Hope we will get what we want by next session.
1.we will form a team and educate our co-brothers L1,H1,green card, citizen ship holders and send thousands of emails/fax to NEWS agencies, House members, Senators, Local representatives every week.
2.we will spread message to coworkers, known people through emails. We will make sure every person in US will have our emails in there Inbox.
3.We will form a teams/chapters for every state and meet US senators/House Members regularly.I feel best place to form local teams is at temples
4.We will form our own lobby to fight for our cause.
5.Create a web site for our cause provides regular articles to News agencies.

Definitely
I will call Laura Reiff as soon as we get done with this 1932 issue and find out what we need to do and what our plan should be. We have to gird up for a similar huge fight in Spring 2006, with the Comprehensive Immigration Bills, and we know we have friends in the Senate. We should really focus on the House.
I am incredibly annoyed that all my letters to House reps re: EB relief came back saying they support H1Bs.
