| What to do if stopping illegal immigration is really important in the next President? | |||||||||
| HAPPY SUPER TUESDAY, FRIENDS, While I was donating blood to the Red Cross earlier tonight, a 19-year-old at the cookie table spoke with a quiet pride about having just pumped his 5th pint and how doing that and voting were really fulfilling ways to show his patriotism. I assume most of you will shed no blood today, but I hope you will go the extra patriotic mile to be sure to ...
However you decide to vote, I'm sure America will be better off if there is a really tremendous turnout by all of you who understand the immigration issues and know where the candidates stand on them. (Check out the stances here.) WHICH STRATEGY FOR IMMIGRATION VOTING TODAY? Those voting in the Democratic Primaries face no significant difference between Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton on immigration issues. But those of you voting in the Republican Primaries are telling me of the following ways you plan to vote:

| HOLD 'McCAIN=AMNESTY' SIGNS OUTSIDE POLLING SITES You will know where the legal line is by where all the other people are standing to hand out literature. Simply click on this (adjust colors and sizes as you wish), print it and hold it up for voters to see as they arrive at the polls. Vote first and then donate 15 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour of your time to holding the sign to make sure voters are educated about McCain's very clear promise to give amnesty to illegal aliens. Here's the link to the simple sign. You may also want to print out McCain immigration grade cards from www.NumbersUSA.com website -- and other accounts of McCain's immigration actions. IF YOU WANT TO VOTE TO KEEP McCAIN FROM GETTING DELEGATES IN YOUR STATE ... It would seem to be a significant victory if McCain can be stopped from getting any more than 700 of the more than 1,000 delegates at stake today. That (combined with the nearly 100 he already has) would leave him at least 400 short of the 1,191 needed to secure the GOP nomination. A major victory would be to keep him below 600. That would give anti-amnesty forces some time in the remaining Primary states to better educate Republican voters about Sen. McCain's stated commitment to giving amnesty to at least 10 million illegal aliens and to dramatically increasing the importation of foreign workers to compete with American workers. Keeping McCain's wins under 600 -- or even under 700 -- is going to be tough because polls show McCain with overwhelming leads in winner-take-all states of New York (101 delegates), New Jersey (52) and Connecticut (30). This next section is highly controversial because every Republican and Democratic candidate has support among a segment of you getting this email. Please understand that I am making no endorsements here. But what I am doing is showing you what you would do if your top priority today is to keep pro-amnesty McCain from getting delegates. Paul, Huckabee and Romney have all made explicit promises to oppose legalization (amnesty) of illegal aliens and to use an Attrition Through Enforcement policy that drives illegal aliens back to their home countries. (Nearly all of the surveys listed below were taken over the weekend.) If you are willing to switch your vote from your favorite candidate to a candidate best able to defeat McCain today, you might: VOTE FOR RON PAUL in ....

Tough vote choices today?

Amnesty vote Tuesday in Illinois (and 21 other states)
From the Desk of:
Steve Elliott, President, Grassfire.org Alliance
Tomorrow's primary amounts to the equivalent of an amnesty vote. Please forward this message to your friends.
--Steve
Robert,
Tomorrow, Illinois citizens will have the opportunity to go to the polls in what amounts to the first-ever National Primary involving 22 states.
This vote will be a major referendum on the issue of Amnesty, which has been one of the top issues discussed during the primary season.
In essence, tomorrow's vote is an Amnesty vote, just as important as last summer's defeat of the Senate Amnesty Bill.
Every G.O.P. debate has featured immigration. Every time citizens have had an opportunity to pose questions of the candidates, immigration and amnesty have been at the top of the list.
But all that really matters to the politicians and the pundits is how we vote!
That is why I am encouraging every Grassfire.org team member to take two actions today:
- Vote Tuesday! - Since you live in one of the Super Tuesday states, be sure to go to the polls and vote for candidates who share your views on immigration and amnesty. Grassfire.org has developed Amnesty Voter Guide resources for you -- including briefings on all the G.O.P. candidates. Go here: http://www.AmnestyVoterGuide.com?rid=10699591
- Forward this message to your friends - Please send this message to your entire personal email list and ask your friends in the Super Tuesday states to use our Amnesty Voter Guide resources and then vote for candidates who share their views on immigration and amnesty.
Again, Tuesday's vote amounts to an amnesty vote, just as important as last summer's amnesty showdown over the Senate amnesty bill.
Thank you for taking action.
Steve Elliott, President

Teach a Republican voter Monday
Everyone,
Let's get the word out and hopefully we can vote McCain out of the running on Tuesday!

| Half of Republican voters think McCain will stop illegal immigration -- Give them the truth Monday | |||||||||
| DEAR OPPONENTS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, Today's polls show John McCain still poised to win a large majority of the delegates on Tuesday ... ... unless the 500,000 of you can reach out to millions of Republican friends, families and acquaintances to correct their incredibly mistaken notion about McCain's immigration positions. The Washington Post/ABC News poll this weekend asked likely Republican voters which candidate, "regardless of who you may support," do you "trust most to handle immigration issues." The answer will shock you: 47% McCain 22% Romney 10% Huckabee 5% Paul This political illiteracy among Republican voters threatens disastrous consequences. Please share this information widely. Some open-borders apologists, such as syndicated columnist Ruben Navarrette, say 47% of Republicans like McCain on immigration because they support McCain's idea that the best way to solve illegal immigration is to make nearly all the illegal aliens into legal residents and U.S. citizens. That is pure wishful thinking on the part of open-borders advocates. Reputable polls for two years have shown that an overhwelming majority of Republicans (and a majority of Independents and Democrats) has opposed every one of McCain's attempts to legalize illegal aliens with an amnesty. I believe that at least half of those 47% Republicans who express confidence in McCain's immigration plans simply don't know the truth. And the truth is exceptionally easy to find out. For two months, McCain answers every immigration question by saying he will "secure the border" and that "I know how to do it." But records of his past actions show that he has repeatedly voted against funding the border fence, against funding more Border Patrol, against expanding interior immigration agents. About the only time McCain has backed more security on the border is when it is tied to giving an amnesty. McCain has held border security hostage for years. He has been willing to work for border security only if Americans pay the "ransom" of giving him an amnesty. But I am willing to accept that McCain is finally serious about securing the border, except that he really hasn't provided a serious, detailed plan for how he will do it. Read McCain's statements in recent interviews to see how terribly the "straight-talker" zig zags to confuse voters about his ultimate plan to grant a gigantic amnesty. McCain laid out his Immigration Plan in radio ads in South Carolina: 1. "Secure the borders." 2. Deport around 2 million illegal aliens who have committed felonies. 3. Treat the other 10-18 million illegal aliens with "compassion" by letting them keep their U.S. residency and their American jobs and eventually become citizens. McCain never expresses compassion for the 23 million working-age Americans without any college who do not currently have a job -- or the millions more Americans whose real wages have stagnated or declined in recent years because their occupations were flooded by foreign labor. Although the nation already has nearly 40 million foreign workers and dependents, McCain has repeatedly said that we need to import even more. During the last two years, he has pushed various bills that would double and triple immigration. Every Republican you know needs to get a copy of this email (and the one I sent Saturday night). The 500,000 of you -- even if every one of you votes (and surely you will if your state is holding a primary) -- are not enough to shift the results of Tuesday's elections unless you multiply your influence by educating at least 10 other voters. And ask each of them to educate at least 5 more. Look at all of McCain's pro-amnesty votes here. Click here to see all the times McCain has worked against American workers and helped greedy businesses procure foreign labor. View McCain's whole abysmal history of failing to protect our national security at the borders and our economic security at the workplace. |

| If millions of misled, misinformed and misguided Republicans hand McCain a giant victory on Tuesday, you can be sure that the generally pro-amnesty media will sing the song of Ruben Navarrette who said this weekend: " ... depending on how you ask the question and whether you use words such as 'amnesty' or 'earned legalization,' a majority of Americans support the comprehensive approach that McCain proposed. It's starting to look as if the Republican Party's anti-illegal immigration zealots may represent a loud and obnoxious faction of conservative voters, but a small one at that." I know you won't want to look at headlines on Wednesday morning declaring a victory for Comprehensive Amnesty positions and then wish you had helped all the other Americans who were busy trying to educate Republican voters on Monday. Click here for the states and dates for Republican Primaries and Caucuses. Click here for the states and dates for the Democratic Primaries and Caucuses. THANKS FOR ALL YOU CAN DO FOR THE CAUSE ON MONDAY,  P.S. Be sure to look at our ratings of 16 immigration categories for all Presidential candidates. | |||||||||

Stop McCain Amnesty on Tuesday
Everyone,
We certainly don't want to have to choose between two amnesty favoring liberals in November! The best way to prevent that from happening is to take McCain out of the running now!

| Will you allow the McCain amnesty to be endorsed in Tuesday's elections? | |||||||||
| DEAR OPPONENTS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, Remember how desperate all of us felt just before those key votes in 2006 and 2007 on John McCain's amnesties? But we defied the predictions by massively reacting and blocking the efforts by Sen. McCain and Sen. Kennedy to permanently give American jobs to millions of illegal aliens while enticing millions more to enter! We can do it again. Will you make it happen? (See suggestions below.) Half of you will be able to vote on Tuesday. And the other half of you can try to influence people in the states where the primaries are being held. The Super Tuesday Presidential Primaries have become another amnesty vote. Throughout the campaign, Sen. McCain has said that he will legalize all illegal aliens who have not committed a felony. Between 10 and 18 million illegal aliens would qualify for his amnesty. If McCain wins the Republican nomination, most of the media have indicated they will interpret that as a vote for McCain's pro-illegal-immigration policies. That may even embolden Congress to try again to pass an amnesty THIS year. I'm sure you understand the urgency. Why am I asking you to forward this to everybody? Because the polls show that most Republicans who have been voting for McCain in the previous primaries are so uninformed that they think he would be TOUGH on illegal immigration. McCain has confused voters by:
With Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton also pledging full commitment to amnesties, a McCain nomination would mean immigration would be removed as an issue from the fall campaign. If you are a Democrat and likely to vote for Obama or Clinton because of other issues, you will still want to see them moderate their immigration views toward the American majority's anti-amnesty position. That Democratic moderation could happen if Clinton or Obama had to compete with an anti-amnesty Republican. But I can't see that happening if they are competing with McCain. If you are a Republican, you will simply want to save your Party from continuing the disastrous immigration policies of the Bush Administration. If you are an Independent, consider voting in the Republican primary to cast your vote against the McCain amnesty. Don't take my word for how bad a McCain victory would be. Look below for the unadulterated facts about McCain's past immigration actions. Can you help rescue America from immigration disaster again on Super Tuesday? The immigration crisis on Tuesday is no less threatening to America than during those intense battles in 2006 and 2007 when we blocked one amnesty after another. A McCain victory would seem to ensure that no matter who wins in November we will have four more years of the same immigration nightmares we've had under Pres. Bush. Democratic voters have had no choice because all their candidates support amnesty. But Republican voters have a clear choice between the pro-amnesty McCain and the anti-amnesty Romney, Huckabee and Paul. Rather than split the anti-amnesty vote among three candidates, you may want to consider voting for whichever anti-amnesty candidate is reported to be highest in your state's polls on Monday, so as to increase the chance of denying delegates to McCain. . |

| 1. WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT AMNESTY DISASTER ON TUESDAY 1. Make plans now on how and when you will vote on Tuesday (if you are in one of the Primary states). If you have any questions about where to go, ask a friend at church, in your neighborhood or at work. With McCain in the lead in most states, anybody who fails to vote is, in effect, voting for the McCain Amnesty. 2. Phone your friends. Make a list of up to ten or more friends and family members whom you believe will be interested to know that the leading candidates for both major parties favor amnesty. Set aside a block of time to call them. For your convenience, print this page and check off each action as you go. 3. Forward this email to every email address you have. Polls show that on average four out of five people to whom you send this will be opposed to an amnesty. You don't want any of them to miss the central truth that McCAIN = AMNESTY. Factoring in that some people won't see this email in time and that many of you will have overlapping email lists but also that many of you have email lists running in the hundreds, I am going to assume that each of the half-million of you on average is going to forward to 10 distinct voters and that each of them on average will forward to 5 on average and that each of them will forward to 2 on average. That would be: 500,000 X 10 ------- 5 million X 5 --------- 25 million X 2 --------- 50 million If we can get this truth about McCain's pro-illegal-immigration positions to 50 million voters before Tuesday (even if half of them don't have Primaries until later), I believe we have an excellent chance of slowing down the McCain Amnesty Express. You all have done this before when we stopped an amnesty in Congress. Won't you do it now!!! 4. Use your influence and talk about the information in this email at any meetings or gatherings you attend between now and Tuesday. Perhaps 130 million Americans will spend three hours watching the Super Bowl on Sunday. I don't resent them (you) the entertainment. But can we all covenant to spend at least 30 minutes before Tuesday in forwarding this email and making some phone calls to protect our entire quality of life from the congestion, the tax costs, the wage depression of tens of millions of additional foreign workers and dependents? McCAIN'S PAST IMMIGRATION ACTIONS TO SUPPORT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION In just the past four years, John McCain has taken the following actions to support illegal immigration:
AT THE MOMENT, REPUBLICAN VOTERS SEEM PERCHED TO REWARD THIS BEHAVIOR WITH A NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT. IF YOU THINK OTHERWISE, PLEASE TAKE PART IN THE ACTIONS NOTED ABOVE. THANKS, | |||||||||
