Congressional Field Hearings:
|
|
Philadelphia, PA |
San Diego, CA |
Laredo, TX |
Last week FAIR alerted you to House Leadership's plan to hold field hearings on immigration reform throughout the summer. House Leadership hopes that by reaching out to the American people for their input on the Senate and House immigration bills, the voters will help them make critical choices on the issue of immigration reform. House Leadership has just announced the schedule for the first set of field hearings to be held this summer. Not to be outdone, the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee has announced he will hold his own field hearing on immigration reform. It is important to go to these meetings and show Congress that the American people want secure borders and enforcement of immigration—not amnesty—for millions of illegal aliens who have broken our laws.
We STRONGLY URGE you to take your family,
neighbors and friends to these hearings!
Please remember that those who support the Senate guest worker amnesty bill will also be aware of the field hearings and will also be present to make their voices heard, as we saw with the marches earlier this spring. We know, however, that with strong turnout, educated members, and passionate—but respectful—dialogue, we can convince the Members of the Congress that the American voters want nothing more than to secure the borders, secure the interior and enforce our laws.
While it often may be hard to see the effect of your work, you make a huge impact with your activism. Your dedication, shown through your calls, attendance at town hall meetings, and visits to Congressional offices, has carried our cause forward. We hope that your presence at these field hearings will persuade Congress beyond any doubt that the majority of Americans want enforcement only and enforcement now!
Please take a moment to look at the schedule below and attend any of the hearings you can. If you have questions, please contact our field representatives Sandra Gunn (East Coast) or Rick Oltman (West Coast). You may reach Sandra at 773-828-8144 (sgunn@fairus.org) and Rick at 415-884-9960 (rickoltman@fairus.org).
