Now's the time to join Roger Hedgecock, top rated radio talk show host in San Diego, California (KOGO/AM 600), and the FAIR Congressional Task Force as they lead an immigration reform army to Washington, D.C. April 23-28, 2005.

Over the last 10 years, Roger has taken large groups of his listeners to Washington, D.C. to lobby Congress on key issues. This year he is mobilizing some of America's most influential radio personalities from around the country in a national effort culminating in direct citizen lobbying for immigration reform.

Some of the dynamic radio hosts joining Roger in this crusade are John and Ken (KFI, Los Angeles), Bruce Jacobs (KFYI, Phoenix), Mike Siegel (KTTH, Seattle), Lars Larson (Westwood One), Melanie Morgan (KSFO, San Francisco), Michael Graham (WMAL-Washington DC),  Alan Nathan (Radio America), Blanquita Cullum (Radio America), Jane Silk (Radio America),  Michael Smerconish (WPHT, Philadelphia), PHil Valentine (WTN, Nashville) and Terry Anderson (Terry Anderson Show) to name a few.  They will be broadcasting live, discussing the need for immigration reform and interviewing congressional leaders.

We are taking our message directly to Congress, and we need your help. Sign up today to visit Washington, D.C. this April and make your voice heard. Read out backgrounder about all the issues being debated in Congress so that you can let your Representatives know why we need immigration reform.
