The “Secure America Through Verification and Enforcement Act of 2007,” otherwise known as the SAVE Act (H.R. 4088), is NOT serious immigration reform. And it’s dangerous to our liberty.
Contrary to what you may have been told, most of the “solutions” in H.R. 4088 are meaningless window dressing that will not help to stop the invasion of illegal aliens.
However, H.R 4088 will help create or enforce several new federal data banks that will infringe on your rights to privacy.
Some who are urging your support of this bill are saying American Policy Center is wrong in our opposition to the SAVE Act. Proponents simply argue that the bill will “broaden” enforcement and make it extremely difficult for illegals to obtain work. APC would not oppose such a plan – but how it is achieved in H.R. 4088 is not supportable for free Americans. Here are the facts:
Section 201 of the bill will require employers to use the E-Verify system “for every person or other entity that hires one or more individuals for employment in the United States.” That means every time you apply for a job your background will be checked through a national data bank. That means every single American will have to have their personal information placed in that data bank and registered in a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) worker registry within four years. That means, once again, because some people break the law – all Americans must be herded into Big Brother‘s surveillance system.
You may also remember a previous DHS pilot program designed to do many of the same things the SAVE Act would make into law. The Pilot Program “http://www.dhs.gov/xnews/releases/press_release_0449.shtm” was developed between DHS and the Mexican government in 2004 to “voluntarily repatriate” Mexican illegal aliens. If a Mexican illegal alien was apprehended for illegal entry and volunteered to go back to Mexico, our government volunteered your tax dollars to pay to fly them to either Mexico City or Guadalajara where they would be provided bus transportation back to their final destination. Section 201 of the SAVE Act makes this repatriation program permanent while its expansion requires all workers in America, citizen or not, be registered in DHS’ E-Verify database, which is part of the Pilot Program.
Such a system may be “convenient” for government, but it’s not freedom and APC stands opposed to it.
Section 203 of the SAVE Act will establish a standardized, national databank that tracks “vital events” in your life, particularly your birth and death. Now, why is that bad? Let us explain:
APC has been heavily involved in the effort to stop the creation of a national ID card. The Real ID was passed two years ago to be that ID card. This year several states have refused to impose the Real ID through their Drivers License system simply because they can’t comply. Why? Because the Real ID Act requires that states use a national birth certificate databank to verify identity. The problem is, no such birth certificate databank exists – so it is impossible for states to comply – that is a good thing because it is stopping implementation of a national ID system.
Here is what Section 203 says:
“SEC. 203. ESTABLISHMENT OF ELECTRONIC BIRTH AND DEATH REGISTRATION SYSTEMS.
(a) In consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Commissioner of Social Security, the Secretary shall take the following actions:
(1) Work with the States to establish a common data set and common data exchange protocol for electronic birth registration systems and death registration systems.
(2) Coordinate requirements for such systems to align with a national model.
(3) Ensure that fraud prevention is built into the design of electronic vital registration systems in the collection of vital event data, the issuance of birth certificates, and the exchange of data among government agencies.
(4) Ensure that electronic systems for issuing birth certificates, in the form of printed abstracts of birth records or digitized images, employ a common format of the certified copy, so that those requiring such documents can quickly confirm their validity.
(5) Establish uniform field requirements for State birth registries.
(6) Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, establish a process with the Department of Defense that will result in the sharing of data, with the States and the Social Security Administration, regarding deaths of United States military personnel and the birth and death of their dependents.
(7) Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, establish a process with the Department of State to improve registration, notification, and the sharing of data with the States and the Social Security Administration, regarding births and deaths of United States citizens abroad.
(8) Not later than 3 years after the date of establishment of databases provided for under this section, require States to record and retain electronic records of pertinent identification information collected from requestors who are not the registrants.
(9) Not later than 6 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, submit to Congress a report on whether there is a need for Federal laws to address penalties for fraud and misuse of vital records and whether violations are sufficiently enforced.“
Can there be any doubt that this section of the SAVE Act is designed to establish that birth certificate databank? That’s why APC has charged that the SAVE Act is a tool to help implement the Real ID act and ultimately a National ID system. APC stands opposed to Big Brother’s surveillance over our lives – no matter what the “good intentions.”
Others have charged that APC’s analysis of the SAVE Act is incorrect and “deplorable.” We say – check your premise. Are we fighting the illegal alien invasion as an excuse to back door Big Brother into controlling our lives or to preserve our freedom?
You, loyal Americans, have fought many hard-pitched battles against bad immigration bills. You have risen up in numbers rarely, if ever, seen in the halls of Congress. You have stopped one bad “immigration reform” bill after another. You should be proud; your anger and tenacity have stunned hardened politicians and pundits alike. But you must not let your guard down. Our work is not done.
If you love American Freedom then you must not support the SAVE Act. APC believes it is another Trojan Horse.
The SAVE Act will deliver Americans to centralized control, by setting the stage for a national workforce management system. Perhaps this is why big business and labor unions are stepping up in support of this legislation.
You’re being told the SAVE Act is the solution to America’s immigration problems you’ve long sought. It just isn’t so, and you deserve much better, from both your government, and any organization purporting to work on your behalf.
For these reasons the American Policy Center remains opposed to the SAVE Act.
However, the SAVE Act, H.R. 4088, has growing bipartisan support and is on a fast track for passage.
ACTION TO TAKE:
It is imperative you contact your member of Congress. Also contact Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi; House Majority Whip, Steny Hoyer; House Minority Leader, John Boehner; and House Minority Whip, Roy Blunt. Congress will return from Thanksgiving recess on December 3, but congressional office staffers are working, so you can contact them right now. Call the Congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121. A switchboard operator will connect you directly with the House office you request.
Tell every Congressman you contact to oppose the SAVE Act, H.R. 4088, because:

November 14, 2007
By Tom DeWeese
Many of the younger generation must be truly bewildered over the emotions older Americans display when expressing love, devotion, respect and reverence for our country. A tear in the eye for a patriotic song… a hand over the heart as the national anthem plays… a salute to the flag as it passes in a parade. Why would we older folks do that?
What frame of reference could younger Americans possibly have? Patriotism, nationalism – even American citizenship are taboo in today’s school curriculum. Globalism, diversity, and political correctness trump real history, sound economics, and science. Communism is just another economic system. The Founding Fathers are simply old, dead white guys. The UN’s Declaration on Human Rights trumps the Declaration of Independence.
Where are the heroes for today’s young people to admire? Principled leaders who understood the roots of America’s greatness now are replaced by blow-dried sound-byte kings whose professional campaign staffs understand only how to maneuver a special interest group or a voting block.
How can young people make decisions in the voting booth? Who can they choose? Are there any candidates who offer anything other than meaningless gibberish? Perhaps if today’s young people could learn some of the history that brings the older generation a sense of pride… perhaps if they could be helped to understand that ordinary people in history understood that there were issues worth sacrificing and even dying for, then perhaps they could help demand a better future for themselves.
Here are three little known examples from three separate eras of our nation’s history which demonstrate how Americans once thought; how they once stood proud, ready to defend ideals to the death if necessary; how the rest of the world understood that such unwavering devotion to those ideals meant our word was true; and that America offered the human race something different, something wonderful. It meant that Americans were more secure, more prosperous and happier than any people in history.
Perhaps, with these examples, today’s young Americans will understand that the tear in an eye or the hand over a heart expressed by the older generation wasn’t for a flag or a song. Instead it was for the actions taken by the men and women who fought to make those items symbols of freedom.
Thomas Nelson, Jr.
Thomas Nelson, Jr. was born and raised in a wealthy family in Yorktown, Virginia. Educated in England, he was elected to the House of Burgesses in 1761. He loved everything British and was proud to be a British subject. That is until King George decided that his subjects were good for little more than a revenue source to pay for his wars with France. The King imposed the hated Stamp Act on the American colonies and Nelson became a dedicated opponent. He believed he had rights to his own hard-earned money and he believed it was wrong to impose the tax when he had virtually no say in the matter. Such was the foundation of the American Revolution. It mattered.
Soon Nelson was elected to represent Virginia in the Continental Congress where he became one of fifty-six men to sign the Declaration of Independence. By adding his name to the bottom of the document he pledged his life, fortune and sacred honor. In other words Nelson and his fifty-five colleagues gambled everything in exchange for the ability to live their lives in freedom.
Thomas Nelson, Jr. backed up that pledge by becoming a brigadier general in George Washington’s army. But he did more than just fight. He used his own fortune to help Washington fund the army. His money helped make payrolls for the men who needed it for their families back home. His contributions to help keep the army on the battlefield would have equaled $2 million today.
Finally, in the last battle of the war Nelson found himself commanding troops outside his own hometown of Yorktown. As Washington laid siege to the British-held town, Nelson watched as a cannon battery continually missed an important target. It was British General Cornwallis’ command post. Nelson inquired of the troops why they weren’t shooting at the house. “Because,” they said, “it’s your house.” Nelson said, “give me the torch.” He then fired the first cannon aimed at his own home and gave the order for the other cannon to fire at the target as well. The home was destroyed. Not long after, Cornwallis surrendered and the United States was born.
For his service, Nelson died a pauper as his health and fortune were wrecked by the war. Thomas Nelson, Jr. made the sacrifice because he believed freedom was more important than comfort and material wealth. He was not alone as almost all signers of the Declaration of Independence met similar fates. Some died in the war effort. Many lost their fortunes. Some even lost their “sacred honor.” They did it so that future generations might live a better life.
Francis Scott Key
Most young people today know the Star Spangled banner as simply a hard song to sing before sporting events. To them, its curious words about bombs bursting in air and flags flying just sound like a Fourth of July party. Where’s the beer? Play ball.
But the words mean much more. The song’s lyrics are actually a testimony to sacrifice, death and courage. Francis Scott Key personally witnessed the events described in the song and wrote what he saw as it was happening.
Key was an attorney who lived in Washington, D.C. during the War of 1812. Again the United States was at war with Great Britain. The British had never really gotten over losing the American colonies. In the 20 years since Cornwallis had surrendered at Yorktown, they had continually harassed American ships on the high seas. The U.S. tried diplomacy to solve the problems as the country sought to freely and honestly trade with both England and France. Peace was the goal of the young nation.
But American ships seeking trade with Europe faced blockades by the British, who dominated the seas with their vast fleet, the largest in the world. In addition to preventing trade, the British claimed the right to take their sailors off the American ships. The problem was, they also took American sailors, making them serve against their will on British ships. Finally, the Americans had enough. Diplomacy wasn’t working. American lives and freedoms were being threatened. So the U.S. Government declared war on the British, again.
It didn’t go well for the Americans. The British used their vast sea power to attack the United States. First the fleet sailed up the Hudson River to control New York. They launched an attack on New Orleans, gaining control of the Mississippi. And then they sailed up the Chesapeake, into the Potomac to invade Washington D.C. With little resistance, the British ransacked the Capital city, burning buildings, including the White House. First Lady Dolly Madison was able to escape with little more than the Declaration of Independence. As the Americans were forced to flee, the British fleet set its sights on the next target, one of the nation’s most prosperous cities, Baltimore – just a short trip up the Chesapeake. It was meant to be the final victory before reestablishing the Americans as British subjects.
Meanwhile, as the ships wreaked havoc from the sea, British troops were on the ground in countless towns and villages, arresting American citizens and putting them in makeshift jails or on prison ships. The Americans were not happy having these occupying troops in their communities and tried to fight back. In the small community of Upper Marlborough, Maryland two drunken British soldiers were arrested by Dr. William Beanes and thrown into jail. One escaped, caught up to his unit and reported what had happened. The British returned to the town, released their soldier and arrested Dr. Beanes.
Enter Francis Scott Key. The people of Upper Marlborough enlisted Key to help free Dr. Beanes who was now being held in the hold of a prison ship in Baltimore harbor. Key was allowed on the ship and taken to the prison hold. There he found the ship packed with American prisoners, including Beanes. Key met with Rear Admiral Sir George Cockburn to negotiate a prisoner exchange in hopes of freeing all of the Americas. At first Cockburn agreed and Key went below to tell the men they would soon be released.
As the two men met on the deck of the ship, Cockburn told him that, yes the men would soon be released, but not through a prisoner exchange. They would be released, he said, because the war will be over. Then Cockburn pointed down the bay where Key saw hundreds of British ships sailing toward them. “That,” said Cockburn, “is the entire British fleet. They are coming here to take Fort McHenry.” The fort was the last strong hold of the Americans and it protected Baltimore. Its fall would assure the final British victory and the end of the United States.
Key was held on the ship, unable to leave until the battle was over. The bombardment began at dusk in a deafening roar of cannon fire from a hundred ships which stayed outside the range of Fort McHenry’s guns. As the fleet opened fire on the fort, the men held in chains below deck wanted to know what was happening. Key reported what he saw throughout the battle.
Waving from the fort was a large American flag. As night began to fall, the bombs from the British fleet burst through the air. The last thing anyone could see in the twilight’s last gleaming was the flag defiantly flying over the fort. Throughout the night the prisoners called out, “is it still flying.” No matter how many bombs seemed to hit the flag, it continued to fly. Finally, in frustration, the British fleet trained all of its guns on the flag, determined to bring it and the American’s defiance down in a heap. Still it flew.
In the morning the guns stopped. In the dawn’s early light all saw that the flag still flew and the fort remained in American hands. Eventually, the fleet sailed away. Key was released. He rushed to the fort and there he saw what had happened. The flagpole had been hit numerous times. The flag was full of holes. Around the base of the flag were numerous bodies of American soldiers and citizens. Throughout the night, they had sacrificed themselves to keep the flag waving. As the flagpole splintered from the direct hits it suffered, men rushed out and held up the flag, becoming human flagpoles. One by one, as each was cut down by the bombs bursting in air, another rushed out to take his place.
The nation survived and America became a shining light in the world as the land of the free. And the men of Fort McHenry proved it was also the home of the brave.
William Barret Travis
In the winter and early spring of 1836, war raged throughout what is now the State of Texas. Mexico, led by General Santa Anna wanted to control the territory. Santa Anna was a pompous, brutal dictator who had terrorized the citizens, murdering at will, and taking property at his whim. The Texans wanted to be free of him. In a recent battle they had managed to free San Antonio of his rule. Now he wanted it back.
So, Santa Anna began a march on San Antonio with more that 1,000 troops determined to prove that resistance to his rule was futile. On February 23rd, about 145 Texans under the command of William Barret Travis rushed into a mission called the Alamo. Soon they were surrounded. Travis put out a call for reinforcements, saying, “I am besieged by a thousand or more Mexicans… I have sustained a continual bombardment and cannonade for 24 hours… The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise the garrison are to be put to the sword if the fort is taken.”
Over the following two weeks, the Mexican forces continually strengthened to over 2,000. Answering Travis’s call, a few reinforcements for the Texans were able to break through the lines and build the garrison to 189. Famed frontiersman and Congressman Davy Crockett arrived with 15 good men from Tennessee. Another famous frontiersman, Jim Bowie was there. There were 30 volunteers from South Carolina, ready to fight with their native son, Travis. More than 81 volunteers were from different countries including England, Scotland, Germany, Ireland and various U.S. states.
Finally, as it became apparent that no large group of reinforcements would be able to come to their aid, Travis called a meeting of the men and told them they were free to leave and save themselves. He took out his sword and drew a line in the sand. He said, if you want to stay, cross that line. To a man they crossed, determined to stay and fight the Santa Anna tyranny.
After constant bombardment from the Mexican guns, the men inside the Alamo heard a bugle signal the command to Santa Anna’s troops to charge and take no prisoners. The men in the Alamo fought to the last man. Travis was one of the first to fall, on the north wall where the main assault occurred. He was 26. Jim Bowie, ill on a stretcher, was killed in a small room on the south side. He was 41. And Davy Crockett’s body was found in a small fort on the west side, surrounded by a pile of dead Mexicans. He was 50 years old.
189 Texans died that day but they took 600 Mexicans with them. The Alamo had fallen, but their courage allowed Texas General Sam Houston the time he needed to raise an army and meet Santa Anna only forty six days later. As Houston’s men charged, they shouted, “Remember the Alamo.” The battle lasted only 18 minutes. The Texans killed 630 of Santa Anna’s men, and captured 730, literally destroying his army. The next day, General Santa Anna was captured, disguised as a peasant. His rule was finished and Texas had won its independence, because 189 heroes had offered their lives in a belief that preserving freedom was more important than living life under tyranny.
Making Sense Of It All
American history is full of stories of sacrifice and heroism in the name of preserving freedom. They were called patriots and they didn’t sacrifice to build the power of government, or to enrich the pockets of a select power elite or to promote one group over another. They did it so they could live their lives in peace, unencumbered and left alone.
Today, our young people are taught in government classrooms that these ideals are old fashioned, quaint and, in many cases just plain wrong. Patriotism is racism, we’re told by modern scholars. Property ownership is selfish. Children are taught that our free society is the root of the Earth’s destruction and must be dismantled through a tightly controlled, organized global village. The Constitution, say the scholars, is a living document, changeable with a whim. The Declaration of Independence, which Dolly Madison risked everything to save, is just a “war document from the Revolution.” Nothing more.
Yesterday’s patriots have been replaced by politicians who pander to special interests, as they fill their pockets with money in exchange for deals, privilege and power. A foreign policy based on honest trade, avoiding “entangling alliances,” has been replaced with our military meddling in over one hundred countries, imposing economic and personal values where they aren’t wanted. America today is guilty of the very same kind of “nation building” we fought King George to end. Now America finds itself hated and non-respected, assuring Americans are unsafe on every street corner in the world.
Politicians
America needs leadership which understands our roots and the history it took to mold this nation. But who can our young people look to for such ideas? Who among the politicians and self-appointed leaders of our nation would make such sacrifices? Who among them would even advocate such an attitude?
Would Hillary Clinton stand on the front lines in defense of this nation and order her own home destroyed for freedom’s sake? Would Barack Obama stand on the North wall and fight to the death to stop an invasion of the country? Of course not. In fact, both of these “leaders” are actually calling for those very descendents of the original invaders of the Alamo to “come on over.”
Today, instead of statesmen who serve our country out of love and loyalty for its ideals, dealing with other nations with the just interest of the United States first and foremost, we have politicians looking for a deal. Will it sound good to certain voter block? Will it make me look good on television? Can I get a leg up on the other candidates if I propose this?
As the Associated Press said, “Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards have proposed vast policy programs costing billions of dollars. Republicans Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, John McCain and Fred Thompson have vowed to extend President Bush’s tax cuts and continue the multi-billion dollar wars in Iraq and Afghanistan indefinitely.”
What are the real issues on the minds of the American public? Too-high taxes; ever-creeping government intrusion in our lives; unprotected borders; over 60% say they want us out of the UN; growing corporate power; reduced standard of living; the fall of the dollar and less buying power; massive government debt; high gas prices. These issues affect every single American.
Yet not one of these issues is being addressed by most of the candidates for president. Instead we have great debates on AIDS, hate crimes, racial disparity, education, and the rebuilding of New Orleans. Each of these issues is a hot button for a specific special interest group which is piling money into campaign coffers. The average American could care less about any of them, yet they are the debates of the day while the real issues are ignored.
These politicians would never be trusted on the front lines next to the heroes of the Alamo or Thomas Nelson, Jr. None would ever inspire a single lyric by Key. And they are not worthy of being elected to leading the country these heroes helped create and preserve.
Patriots
But there are still patriots in our nation and some still seek to serve it in the highest office. Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter, and Tom Tancredo.
Duncan Hunter alone has forced legislation through Congress to stop funding for a North American Union. He loves his country and strives to keep its national defense strong. One can picture Duncan Hunter taking up arms next to Davy Crockett.
Tom Tancredo almost single-handedly created the national debate over illegal immigration. He has been unwavering in his demands that the borders be secure. Tancredo would have stood next to Thomas Nelson, Jr. and taken the pledge to sacrifice his life, fortune and sacred honor for his country – he already has.
But Ron Paul is perhaps the one man from our era whom the Founding Fathers would most want to join for dinner. They would have learned from him what defense of the Constitution is all about.
Under a Ron Paul presidency, the nation would be in for a lesson in economics not seen since the days of Thomas Jefferson. Ron Paul managed to discuss Austrian Economics on Jay Leno. All Bill Clinton managed to discuss was the type of underwear he wore. Such a comparison shows how Paul towers over the rest.
To watch Ron Paul almost single-handedly defend the ideals of Constitutional government against the massive power of the national news media, political parties, a forest of rotted politicians and a government-school-created ignorance of history, is a lesson in what it means to be a patriot. His courageous candidacy brings a tear to the eye and a swell of pride in the heart. To the young people searching for a hero, look no further than Ron Paul.
Urgent Alert from the American Policy Center
Action Alert! Action Alert!
| APC is now offering you a quick and easy way to multiply your efforts and help win more battles! Simply click to send this APC Action Alert to up to TEN of your friends! It’s fast, it’s easy, and most of all, it’s extremely effective in KILLING LEFTIST POLICIES! |
Some of our allies in the fight to stop illegal immigration are circulating alerts asking you to support the SAVE Act (H.R. 4088). This bill, otherwise known as the “Secure America Through Verification and Enforcement Act of 2007” is said to have strong bi-partisan support and is on a fast track for passage.
The American Policy Center has read this legislation and is issuing this alert AGAINST the SAVE Act. Here’s why:
* The SAVE Act does not fund the existing fencing requirement authorized, but not funded, last year by Congress.
* The SAVE Act only authorizes “additional fencing (aesthetic fencing in business districts) in urban areas of the border.”
* The SAVE Act , instead of fencing, proposes to strengthen the rest of the border with “vehicle barriers.”
* The SAVE Act specifies the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will “(contract) with foreign companies” for the Secure Border Initiative, and proposes purchasing of “a contract to manage the operations of a United States port by a foreign entity” (emphasis mine).
* The SAVE Act will specifically defend a religious denomination for breaking the law by smuggling or harboring illegals and it says “…to encourage, invite, call, allow, or enable an alien who is present in the United States to perform the vocation of a minister or missionary…as a volunteer who is not compensated…notwithstanding the provision of room, board, travel, medical assistance, and other basic living expenses (if that person) has been a member … at least one year.”
* The SAVE Act states clearly that the “border protection strategy” of the Secretaries of Interior and Agriculture “(will support) the border security needs of the United States in the manner than best protects (wait for it) ‘the land’ that DOI and USDA manages. In other words, protecting the environment is to be considered more important than protecting the borders.
* The SAVE Act establishes mandatory federal employment authorization verification for ALL workers, including American citizens. A Federal data bank on all American workers.
* The SAVE Act mandates states must create standardized birth and death registrations to be part of the federal database on ALL Americans, including your children. This is a main provision of the Real ID Act – which establishes the national ID card.
* The SAVE Act does not establish penalties in the form of fines and/or imprisonment for illegal invaders, only for those who interact with them, except a church.
Reading this bill, it is evident that its intent is not to stop the invasion of illegals, but to convert those illegals into “authorized” aliens. Worse, it does advance the pernicious “National Human Resource Management” system that has been implemented piecemeal since the 1990s. DHS is helping establish a cradle-to-grave government database that will track all “human resources” for the benefit of big business. This database will detail not only every American resident’s status (your data will also become part of an international database), but also their work skills.
If you remember, recently DHS Secretary Chertoff said he would not “tolerate interference” with his agency’s programs and actions. True to his word, in total disregard for the U.S. Constitution and States’ rights, the SAVE Act includes a provision stating, “No State may prohibit a person or other entity from using the E-verify program to verify the employment authorization of new hires or current employees.” In short, the bill dictates hiring rules to the states.
We realize it’s unlikely many of you actually read through legislation we ask you to take positions on. You rely on the American Policy Center to get issues right, from the perspective of real, everyday, unapologetic Americans, dedicated to Judeo-Christian ethics and our blessed constitutional republic. We earnestly strive to preserve, protect and defend this nation and her people by telling you the truth as we find it, giving you facts and commentary you’re not likely to read from other sources.
APC has read H.R. 4088 and it’s clear that passage of the SAVE Act will not secure our nation’s borders, will not safeguard her citizens, will not preserve what’s left of our Rule of Law, and will further decimate our economy. For all the reasons outlined above the American Policy Center will not support the SAVE Act, or any other bill pursuing this Agenda. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us by email through our website www.americanpolicy.org.
ACTION TO TAKE
It is imperative you immediately call your member of Congress, and tell them to oppose H.R. 4088, also known as the SAVE Act.
Also immediately call Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi; House Majority Whip, Steny Hoyer; House Minority Leader, John Boehner; and House Minority Whip, Roy Blunt. Tell them all to oppose the SAVE Act. This bill may come up for a vote at any time. Call the Congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121. A switchboard operator will connect you directly with the House office you request.
The SAVE Act is on a fast track for passage. Many of us who oppose illegal aliens have been encouraged to support it. So many elected officials are getting the false message that this is a good bill. IT IS NOT! It is urgent that you call now to oppose H.R. 4088.
