DREAM Act Portal Forum - Extreme groups send Obama 693,437 faxes -- fight back‏

I just got this email today from America's Voice....

"Big news today.

This afternoon, President Obama is meeting with Members of Congress at the White House to talk immigration. Just yesterday, Senate leaders said that they are ready and able to move real immigration reform forward. This is great news, and it's about time!

For the extreme, anti-immigrant groups that have blocked reform for years, however, any talk of real solutions must be shut down. These groups are riled up and angry. On their websites they claim to have already sent 693,437 faxes to Washington this month opposing reform.

At a time when Minutemen track human beings in the desert like animals, Latinos are pulled over for "looking illegal," Sheriffs march chain gangs of immigrants through the streets of Phoenix with a smile, and unscrupulous employers openly exploit "under the table" workers and don't pay their fair share of taxes, real reform is more crucial than ever. Comprehensive immigration reform ensures that everyone in America has the same rights and responsibilities and that no one has second-class status. If we want it, we have to speak up and drown out the anti-immigrant lobby that opposes solutions!

If we want it, Washington needs to hear from us right now.

Tell the President and our leaders in Congress to stand up to the noisy anti-immigrant lobby and show us a real Road Map to Reform:

It's no surprise that, in the face of progress, extreme, anti-immigrant groups are doing what they do best: sending angry faxes, lashing out at immigrants, and trying to intimidate Congress into doing nothing. Their only "solution," after all, is to forcibly round up and deport the 12 million immigrants who are living and working in this country without legal status. Sound good?

Meanwhile, public support for reform is at an all-time high. A nationwide poll conducted last month revealed that an astounding 86 percent of voters support comprehensive immigration reform when they hear the details. A clear majority, 64 percent, support it even before hearing the specifics. Activists like you made 20,000 phone calls to the White House supporting immigration reform last week alone. You helped send over 200,000 faxes last month.

Thank you -- but we can't stop here.

Ask President Obama and Congressional Leadership to show us the Road Map to Real Immigration Reform:

The good news is that the tide is turning in Washington -- but we can't let these extreme voices turn it back. Today is a big day.

Thanks for everything you're doing, and for forwarding this message widely.
