Did you realize we are just 28 signatures short of changing history

There's a rebellion afoot in the U.S. House of Representatives. What kind of rebellion? A rebellion against . . . . greed, indifference, and a House leadership uncaring of the plight of ordinary Americans. (It's about time there was a rebellion. New polling shows that only 18% of Americans are happy with Congress

You've heard of the SAVE Act by now, haven't you? It should be called the "Solve Illegal Immigration Act," because that's what it will do

Our champion, Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC), has written a masterful bill that would choke off illegal immigration at its ultimate source--jobs going to illegal aliens.

By requiring employers to verify the Social Security numbers presented by new employees with a simple government database, most illegal aliens can be found out and denied jobs.

Added to the great additional border protections in the bill, shutting off the job magnet will gradually send most illegals packing for their home countries. For them, it will be too hard to get in with less gain in staying.

Now Shuler's brilliant bill has a real chance of becoming law. Our friends in Congress have launched an end-run against Nancy Pelosi and her House leadership.

A "discharge petition" effort has been launched. If a majority of the House members sign the discharge petition, Pelosi will be forced by House rules to schedule a vote on the bill. Passage would then be virtually guaranteed, since the majority are already on record supporting it.

We are now only 28 signatures short of success in the petition. This is big news! Only about two dozen discharge petitions have ever succeeded, and we are close to achieving that.

Do what you can folks.....phone your representatives and tell them to sign!

Here is the bill itself. http://www.numbersusa.com/PDFs/SAVEActSBS.pdf

Here is a sight with a list of congressmen who are supporting it. http://www.numbersusa.com/interests/attrition.html

Democrats are supporting it, but are not supporting a forced vote that Polosi is fighting. As far as I can see there's nothing to sign, but if your congressmen aren't on the list I would suggest getting in touch with them.

This bill was introduced last November. It is supposed to help with enforcing and clearing up the existing laws. If we were enforcing the existing laws we have now this would not be necessary.

If the illegals couldn't get a job they would leave. That's why they are here. As long as they can hide in the system, like now, they will come. There are other problems with the system. Welfare workers are not even allowed to ask a persons legal status and if the do or report a suspected illegal they can loose their job. How much since does that make. We now have policies in place that protect illegals who are stealing from us. I would think anything that would get them to leave or do it right would be a good thing.
