We have our own plan, getting our friends and family members who are citizens registered to vote.
If you really want ot help, volunteer at an adult ESL class. A lot of people are eligible for citizenship but the only thing holding them back is the language barrier.
They have to rely on phone calls because they can't deliver votes like our side can.
They are all bark, no bite. The 2006, and even the 2008 election prove that we have more in terms of numbers than them. Their people keep losing. They like to point to Chris Cannon, when immigration alone was brought up in 2006, he still own, when his conservative credentials on other issues were brought up he lost along with the main anti-immigraiton Utah legislator (I think it was Donnelson), voters were clearly not voting against Cannon based on the immigration issue. On their side, let's see, Tancredo, Hunter, Romney, Paul, J.D. Hayworth, The republican that ran for Jim Kolbe's old seat, Oberweiss, and so much more.
An Anti-immigration stance usually hurts, not helps. We have more people on our side but their people are just retired or getting handouts from the government so they have all the time in the world. Our people work and have families. They each call hundreds of times pretending to be someone new, they wish they had our numbers. Even in the republican primary, we all know what helped out McCain clinch the nomination, Florida. Thanks to the Florida immigrant community.
People on our side are normal and for the most part younger (as in under 70 years old). They have jobs and families and don't spend all day online like the opposition. So don't be fooled. Only a small segment of the population listens to these guys.
We should get our message out though, that's been our problem, politicians get fooled into thinking our side doesn't care because we don't call and write. Hopefully, the elections are teaching them a lesson but you never know.
