Exclamation Red Alert ! Call to action to all Patriots!

We need your help.

This is the big one, the first major battle to defeat the nation crushing amnesty .
This is the big issue of our time, and we need to act now and flood the phone lines and E-mail of Senators that are betraying the nation.

Senators Corker of Tennessee and Hoeven of North Dakota have crafted a 1,190 page amendment that changes the substance of the Gang of Eight bill. The amendment is mostly smoke and mirrors meant to be a fig leaf to enable squishy Republicans and red state Democrats a fig leaf so that they can vote for the amnesty, and say that there is improved enforcement, yet the enforcement is weak enough that Schumer and all the Gang of Eight members have approved and cosponsored the amendment, and that the amnesty portion comes first and without delay.

The amendment will be voted on Monday afternoon without Senators having a chance to read the 1,190 page amendment.

We need all patriots to call their senators and the co sponsors of the Corker/Hoeven fig leaf amendment and tell them Hell no!

Here are the list of sponsors and cosponsors, Minus McCain, Flake, Grahamnesty, and Rubio.


Sen. Hoeven: 888-995-2047 ----- 202-224-2551

Sen. Ayotte: 888-995-1986 ----- 202-224-3324

Sen. Heller: 888-995-5451 ---- 202-224-6244

Sen. Corker: 888-995-5271 ---- 202-224-3344

Sen. Hatch 888-978-3148 ---- 202-224-5251

Sen. Murkowski: 888-995-2057 ---- 202-224-6665

Sen. Kirk: 888-995-5459 ---- 202-224-2854

Sen. Manchin: 888-995-1992 ---- 202-224-3954

Sen. Pryor: 888-995-2016 ---- 202-224-2353

Sen. Begich: 888-995-2055 ---- 202-224-3004

Sen. Donnelly: 888-995-2034 ---- 202-224-4814


E-mail links for the senators can be reached through www.senate.gov .

Ayotte, Heller, Hatch, Donnelly, Hoeven,and Corker's Washington office voice mail is full.

Murkowsky, Begich, Pryor, Manchin, and Kirk's, DC office voice mail is not full yet as of 11:00 Am PST.

Monday is going to be very difficult to get through, the call volume is going to be very high. That's a good thing, we need to keep trying to get through to their DC offices, If we can crash the phone lines due to high call volume, that will also help defeat the bill.

We're leaving messages at their local offices also. You can get local office phone numbers at www.senate.gov

Here is Hoevens (R)Fargo number: 701-239-5389

Here is Corkers(R) Nashville number: 615-279-8125

Memphis number: 901-683-1910

Ayotte NH office (R): 603-662-7979

Heller NV office (R): 702-338-6605

Pryor's Arkansas office (D): 501-324-6336

Murkowski (R): 907-271-3735

Begich (D): 907-272-5915


Good luck to everyone calling this weekend and on Monday.

When you're calling Alaska Senators Murkowski: 888-995-2057

and Begich:888-995-1986

be sure to let them know that on page 983 of the Corker-Hoeven fig leaf amendment, it gives Alaska special exemptions for foreign workers. Let them know that this is crony capitalism. and that you won't tolerate their crony capitalist treason.

Earlier is better, when you're calling the senate. They're some hours ahead of us out here.

Greg in LA reporting for duty.

Started calling at 5:30 AM California time.

Let me tell you that these Senators are such a bunch of chickens. Most didn't even answer their phones. It's now 9:40 East coast time and Hatch and Pryors office won't pick up, I've been calling for over an hour. Kelly Ayotte's office phone line says it's open at 8:30 Am, but nobody answered the phone until 9:30.

Then virtually all the offices put on these sweet young girls to take the angry calls.

What a bunch of cowards!
Afraid to answer the phones, and then hide behind young girls!

I have to say I was in excellent form today, fired up and my voice and message was clear and forceful.

I'm calling Pryor and Hatch's local office since they're to afraid to answer the DC phones. I've been happy to tell them all, that they can't hide from us.

I haven't given up on Boxer and Feintein either. Not that I believe they wouldn't like to see amnesty, but I've tried the different tack of tying this to the recent NSA spy scandal, and telling them that the voters are now getting fed up with the official party line and there'll be a revolt come election time, this one against the dems for spying, trying to dismiss it as necessary, and then trying to buy their souls back with amnesty

Good one Ayatollah.

I'm beginning to see signs that the Capitol phone lines are buckling under the weight of our calls. A lot of my calls are being dropped. When calling directly to Senators offices, calls are being directed to the capitol switch board, and then being dropped.
It reminds me of when we were calling just before the final vote on the 2007 amnesty, phone lines were going hay wire.

They said the capacity of the phone lines at the Capitol were greatly expanded after that 2007 incident, but I can tell we are really testing the system today.

I'm taking a late lunch and making some calls to the Senate.

Seems most of the phone lines are wide open. Here's your chance to get connected.

Sorry guy's, we didn't stop one member or cosponsor of the Corker-Hoeven fig leaf amendment. They all voted as planned.

I guess it wasn't possible to stop them from voting against their own amendment.

It's now a different game all together, as I believe the next vote will be to end discussion on the bill and to end the ability to filibuster.

I believe there will be two more votes on the amnesty bill. One to cut off debate, and the last to pass the bill.

I'm still waiting to hear back with reports from our calls this morning, but from my own experience, call volume was very strong and many of my calls were dropped or went unconnected because of the call volume. As I said in my earlier post I noticed the phone lines starting to go hay wire this morning, which means there was an enormous outpouring of calls to stop the amnesty.

Senator's Sessions, Vitter and Cruz kept saying in the Numbers USA tele -conference that we must keep calling, and our call volume is critical to stop the bill. They both said our calls and emails are the only thing that can stop this.

Sorry we don't have good news, just more work ahead of us. This week is extremely critical.

I pledge to be up and calling by 5:30 AM every day this week and call for three hours.

67 Senators voted for the fig leaf amendment. we need to win over or scare over 8 Senators to defeat the nation crushing amnesty.

Lets show them what we've got.
