Last night, yet another back-room meeting resulted in the “amendments for amnesty” deal I told you about a few days ago (see below).
That means the Bush-Kennedy Amnesty bill is back and steamrolling toward passage in the Senate -- unless grassroots citizens once again “roar” in opposition.
And don’t buy for a moment the President’s lame attempt to throw money at the problem. The bill’s Amnesty provisions are unrelated to any amount of money for border security. Amnesty comes first, amnesty comes immediately, amnesty comes at no cost to the illegal and amnesty is irrevocable!
We can stop this bill again -- but we must take immediate action.
See original post below and thanks for your help!

ORIGINAL POST 6/13--
I was just informed that the back-room plan has been launched to bring Bush-Kennedy back and
get it quickly passed through the Senate. I call it “amendments for amnesty.”
How "Amendments For Amnesty" Works
President Bush and the Amnesty Republicans are working on convincing about a dozen Republicans to support “cloture” on Bush-Kennedy in exchange for a commitment that a set list of amendments will be considered. Even though most of these amendments will be defeated, this is apparently enough to get key Republicans on board. Thus, “amendments for amnesty.”
Also, Bush and the amnesty leaders are strong-arming conservatives into accepting the “amendments for amnesty” deal or face being banished into Senate oblivion.
Amnesty Republicans have already submitted their list of amendments to Reid. Once the “amendments for amnesty” deal is finalized between Reid and the Republicans, the bill will be quickly brought back to the floor. The amendments will be defeated and amnesty passed.
We can stop “Amendments For Amnesty”!
This is the FOURTH TIME our leaders have gone behind closed doors to work out some secret scheme to get this bill passed. Despite unprecedented and overwhelming grassroots opposition, they think they can still pull off their legislative trickery!

We need more faxes and help with a new
blockbuster “Where’s The Fence?” ad
I have added each of these targeted Senators to our FaxFire system. We need to keep a constant stream of faxes into these offices and literally the entire Senate -- along with the White House.
Go here to send your faxes NOW
We also have a blockbuster new “Where’s The Fence?”(tm) spot in final development that will specifically target any senator who helps bring this bill back for a vote. These ads will forever affix “amnesty” to the key senators who strike this “amendments for amnesty” deal. I need funds immediately.
Go here to help with this new blockbuster ad
Thanks for taking a stand to stop amnesty.
