Several talk show hosts and hundreds of their listeners are in Washington D.C. this week to directly lobby our representatives about illegal immigration and other matters. The talk show hosts, lead by KOGO's Roger Hedgecock and KFI's John & Ken, will be broadcasting live from the event. More details and their schedule here. Roger Hedgecock has pictures here and the first report here. Even if you aren't going you can still help by contacting your representatives preferably by phone or if that's not convenient by FAX or email. Here are their phone directories: Senate, House. UPDATE: The main web site for Hold Their Feet to the Fire is nomoreamnesty.com. On the other side of things, the National People's Action is organizing their own lobbying effort to oppose Hold Their Feet to the Fire. Their first press release was issued yesterday and is here. Apparently they held a protest at the home of a Deputy Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture. It doesn't seem to have generated any news reports. Today's press release includes this: Powerful stories of immigrants will be shared as NPA offers an alternative voice to right-wingers leading the anti-immigrant "Hold Their Feet To the Fire" campaign. First, Hold Their Feet To the Fire isn't anti-immigrant. Second, false generalization is a logical fallacy. You might remember NPA as the group that surrounded Karl Rove's house last year and banged on his windows in support of the DREAM Act. For much more about them, see: A closer look at left-wing thuggery, all the links in this post, and for how CNN handled the Rove harrasment, see this. If NPA gets any press, please send the reporters those links. |
