Strength in numbers

I know a lot of you are familiar with NumbersUSA and its tireless work on immigration issues. For those of you who are not, I urge you to become familiar with them.

This is especially important now on two fronts. We've witnessed the Democrats' state of oblivion to public sentiment on a number of fronts in the last few weeks, and this is just the beginning. That they stripped E-verify from the "stimulus" bill wasn't surprising ... but it clearly signals what they intend to do with regard to immigration reform.

It should be infuriating to each and every one of you that Liberals refuse to protect jobs when American citizens are losing theirs at ever-increasing rates. At the very least, there should be widespread concern about the already horrendous drain on our tax base because of our continued failure to enforce immigration laws that already exist. That's only the tip of the iceberg, because when they start shoving amnesty legislation down our throats and opening our borders completely, that drain will become overwhelming and permanent.

NumbersUSA and its members played a tremendous role in stopping amnesty legislation twice in 2006, because it gave millions of citizens the ability to quickly send faxes to and provided direct phone numbers to our elected representatives, who "got the message" that the American people would not stand for the stealth legislation Congress was attempting to pass in the dead of night.

NumbersUSA stays on top of everything Washington does. And very soon, it's going to add individual state legislatures and the ability for us to quickly contact those people, which will help greatly in convincing states to enforce and/or adopt measures in the fight against open borders.

It costs nothing to join NumbersUSA. They supply very timely alerts to Washington's antics. And it takes less than five minutes to send urgent faxes to every one of your elected representatives.

The media certainly is not going to tell the people of this country what politicians are doing under cover in Washington. And you can bet your last dime that those politicians aren't forthcoming about their actions.

But you can rest assured they listen when voters speak, especially when they do so in great numbers.

I urge any and all who have not signed on with NumbersUSA to do so and to recruit friends elsewhere to do so. It's one of the few remaining avenues available to us to have a say in what our government is doing.
