Immigration Reform - Let the People Do Something


It seems to me that for once Americans have something in common. Immigration Reform. Granted we may disagree on what that is, but I think we all feel it is long overdue. So, let’s do something about it. Let’s use the one weapon we have at a time when it is most effective – right before an election.

I am asking everyone who reads this to contact their Congressman, Senator, Governor and then the President by text AND by email AND by heck even by snail mail. Let them know just this:
“We the People want both parties to work together to resolve this immigration issue. We want to see action born out of cooperation and negotiation between the political parties, between the states and between the states and the Federal government.”

Send this as a text to them and let them know that those who don’t cooperate to solve a national AND humanitarian issue will not receive your vote.

Now I don’t proclaim this will work and that if it does that it will result in precisely what you believe immigration should be, but at least something will get done after decades of inaction and political show boating by both political parties.

But what it may do is remind them that we do have power.
That each vote TOGETHER can create victory or defeat.

Short term protests seldom do anything after a few days. People forget and move on to the next news issue. But our collective vote stings from election to election. It leaves a mark that lasts. As a person we are often ignored but as a people united, we cannot be ignored.
So, I ask you again to send that TEXT, EMAIL, CALL, SNAIL MAIL – heck do them all and tell them you want a SUMMIT of elected officials to get together and do SOMETHING to show us they can work together for the COMMON WELFARE of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.

I am sending mine right now.
