Event Highlights
Last week, hundreds of immigration reform activists, dozens of talk radio show hosts, and many Members of Congress participated in the FAIR Congressional Task Force's Annual Hold Their Feet to the Fire Event. On September 10th and 11th, over 40 talk show hosts, led by San Diego's Roger Hedgecock, broadcasted live from the Phoenix Park Hotel where they interviewed Members of Congress, immigration experts, state legislators, and others. CNN's Lou Dobbs also broadcasted his television show live from Radio Row. While the talk show hosts broadcasted live to thousands of listeners around the country, activists from all over the nation met with their Representatives and Senators on the Hill to discuss immigration reform priorities and lobby for passage of important immigration law enforcement measures.
