Thanks to Jackie for forwarding this important list of bills pending in Congress from Steve Merrill. I have been out of the loop for a while and need to get caught up. Some of these bills are news to me but I will check them out and make my calls. Toll free numbers for calling Congress are conveniently located at the end of Steve's email.

Go get 'em, folks! I was astonished at what Congress just did to stop the Mexican truckers! You're having an impact, so keep the pressure on! Thanks for all you do!

The bill to STOP the Mexican Trucks passed. WE DONE GOOD.

Now, scroll down for MORE action items.

We need to call and make some noise, because as you know, the OTHER SIDE is well organized and working hard to make their views AND DESIRES well known.

Steve Merrill, Oklahoma
*** Illegal immigration should have stopped on September 12, 2001. Actually a few dozen years before that, but too many Amerikans cannot remember much further back than that.
*** Remember, if you are serious about doing something about illegal immigration, or more appropriately, the INVASION, at the very least, start by acting like an American and get, then STAY informed.
*** Duncan Hunter & Tom Tancredo - 2008
*** If the government of the United States was serious about the invasion, they would do more about it.
*** If you do not think this is an invasion, then try and stop it.
*** We have room for but one flag, the American Flag. We have room for but one language, the English language, and we have room for but one sole loyalty, and that is a loyalty to the American people. -- President Theodore Roosevelt.
*** Turn in an illegal alien today. ICE Phone Number: (866) 347-2423. Toll free and you do not have to give your name. Just all the information you can think of.
*** The American media reports the news under the privilege granted to them under the First Amendment. But they also have the moral responsibility associated with that right to report it without a leftist slant.
