Rich Stolz, campaign manager for Reform Immigration FOR America, just sent this email to our activists. I hope you’ll join him and me by signing onto our campaign principles!
Across the country, our opponents spent August talking about what they’re against:
They’re against fairness.
They’re against justice.
They’re against keeping families together.
I’m tired of hearing what people are against, and I want to talk about what our side is FOR. We’re FOR comprehensive immigration reform, which means that:
We’re FOR being fair to workers and immigrants.
We’re FOR protecting and uniting families.
We’re FOR citizenship for immigrants in America.
And we’re FOR an America where we’re stronger when we stand together than when we are divided.
If you’re for these things too, sign on to the Reform Immigration FOR America campaign principles.
Here’s what we believe must guide the new way forward for immigration:
Immigration reform must promote economic opportunity.
Immigration reform must be comprehensive.
Long-term reform requires long term solutions.
A reform package that works for all communities and families in America should include the following:
A rational and humane approach to the undocumented population.
Protect U.S. and immigrant workers.
Allocate sufficient visas to close unlawful migration channels.
Enhance our nation’s security and safety.
Establish a strategic border enforcement policy that reflects American values.
Keep American families together.
Promote immigrant integration.
Protect fundamental rights for all.
If these are the principles you believe in as well, click here to sign our petition.
It’s time for the reform movement to show Congress how serious and committed we are to these principles. I’ve signed the petition, and I hope you will as well. Ask your friends to join this movement by signing the petition as well – every person who signs in September will go a long way toward convincing Congress that it’s time to be FOR immigration reform, and to stand with us, not against us.
Please sign the petition, and stand FOR reform today.
