Send a fax to support immigration reform

from Gabe Gonzalez, Reform Immigration FOR America

Last Saturday, over 500,000 people stood up for immigration reform at marches and rallies all over the country. They told our leaders that we need them to stand up for families and workers and stop hatred and discrimination. And Congress listened – the Democratic leadership introduced an outline for a bi-partisan bill that will pave the way for real reform.

The outline contains a lot of policies that we support, such as family unification and protection for workers. There are also some provisions that we’re going to work to reform. But we can’t do that until Republicans allow the debate over immigration reform to begin.

We can turn the traction we gained this Saturday to show Congress that the need for reform is real. Send a fax to your congressional leaders with this message:

We cannot wait any longer for immigration reform. Start the debate on the Reid-Schumer-Menendez proposal!

While Senators Reid, Menendez, Schumer and others have stepped up and made it clear that they’re ready to start work on reform, many others remain silent or opposed. We need the Senate, and particularly Republican Senators, to know that their constituents are watching, and want to see this bill come to the Senate floor for debate.
