Remind Congress - Change Takes Courage

from Gabe Gonzalez, Reform Immigration FOR America

This weekend, I was one of more than 200,000 people marching for immigration reform on the National Mall in Washington DC. Today, I’m going to send a free fax to my Senators, my Representative, and the Congressional leadership, telling them that they need to support the framework that Senators Schumer and Graham are drafting.

You and I know how Congress works – unless they get overwhelmed by faxes from supporters of immigrants, they’ll think they can take us for granted. And after 200,000 of us marched, now’s the time to show them that we won’t just go home and let them forget their promises. Here’s what we’re going to send them:

“We’re counting on you to do what’s right: support the Schumer-Graham framework for immigration reform. And if you don’t choose courage over hate, we’ll elect people who will.”

This is the road map for a bill that will:

Provide a path to full legal status and eventual citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants
Crack down on bad employers who exploit immigrants and drive down everyone’s wages
Create a new legal path for workers filling needed jobs in the low-skilled sectors of our economy
In short, it’s what we’ve been demanding all these months – and it’s time for Congress to make good on their promises. Send a free fax, then call your Senators at 866-877-5552 to tell them the same thing. Millions of people are counting on us – let’s take the momentum from Sunday's March and keep it going.

PS: it’s critical that we send Congress this message now, while the image of 200,000 of us is fresh in their minds. Please send your fax and call 866-877-5552 today.
