Click here to access the Fax Center FAX: Concerning the passage of S 510 Food "Safety" Bill To our members, Ignoring the will of the people and betraying us (once again), the members of the Senate voted to PASS S 510 Food "Safety" Bill! FOURTEEN REPUBLICAN SENATORS were among those voting to pass this bill! This bill, as you know, has NOTHING to do with Food "Safety" and EVERYTHING to do with exercising more control over the American people! If you had thoughts about planting a garden this coming Spring, think again! S 510 robs us of our God-given right to supply our own food! If you feel betrayed as we do, join us in letting the fourteen Republican Senators know just what we think of their vote! Visit our FAX Center and read the FAX. If it meets with your approval, request to send "S 510 Traitors" fax Lame Duck vote likely on DREAM Act amnesty! December 1, 2010 The "lame ducks" are back on Capitol Hill this week for the final legislative session of the 111th Congress, and although there are many important issues that will require votes, like a necessary funding bill to keep the government running and whether or not to allow all marginal income tax rates to increase at midnight on December 31, 2010, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continue to insist that they will bring the DREAM Act to a vote before they adjourn for the last time. As you'll recall, the Senate previously attempted to consider the DREAM (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) Act on September 21st, but theattempt to attach it to the unrelated Defense Authorization bill was defeated by a vote of 56 to 43 (Senate Roll Call 238). Since that vote's failure, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), the DREAM Act's lead sponsor in the Senate, has since introduced two new slightly amended versions of the bill in an attempt to lessen Republican opposition. Although the new versions appear to narrow the scope of the proposed amnesty, the changes are largely cosmetic: 1. S. 3962 is identical to the original DREAM Act except it retains the federal ban on in-state tuition, but the age limit is still 35. 2. S. 3963 retains the federal ban on in-state tuition and reduces the age limit from 35 to 30. TAKE ACTION! Right now, we do not know which version of the DREAM Act will receive a vote in the Senate or the House, but despite the small changes in these new bills, the DREAM Act still: Would legalize about 2.1 million illegal aliens. Does not contain an English language requirement. We know that DREAM will grant amnesty to millions of non-English-speaking and limited-English-proficient illegal aliens without requiring specific steps to learn English. This will dramatically increase demands for taxpayer-funded multilingual government services, such as multilingual voting ballots, driver's license tests in multiple languages, translations for official documents and school textbooks, and government-mandated interpreters. Does not require recipients to have a record clean of all misdemeanors and felonies. In fact, the provisions in all DREAM Act bills are so loosely written that most illegal aliens under the age of 30 or 35 would qualify. The Lame Duck session is not the time to consider staggering changes to long-standing immigration policy. Even a new poll shows that 59% of Americans believe that the Lame Duck session of Congress should not address social issues, such as the DREAM Act, and instead it should limit its votes to essential business, like the budget and taxes. TAKE ACTION! A vote on the DREAM Act is likely to occur in either the House or the Senate late this week or early next week, but with enough calls, a vote can be prevented.
