Contact List

Stage 1: Senate Judiciary Committee

The expected Schumer Compromise bill will need to first make it through the Judiciary Committee, so there is a need to focus on them. Luckily, the senate judiciary committee is pretty liberal. Focus on calling all the democrats and the few republicans with contact information provided. Those republicans are ones who are more likely to vote for an immigration bill.

Stage 2: Full Senate

Quest for 60 votes. From my estimate, the votes are there. I will not post members who make up the 60 votes so they aren't bombarded by opposition phone calls. Will post the members immediately after the senate bill exits the judiciary committee.

Stage 3: House Judiciary

Stage 4: Full House

Stage 5: Conference Committee

The link to the text isn't working for me

I tried going to http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.4321: but it says "The text of H.R.4321 has not yet been received from GPO"

Seen it anywhere else?

I read most of it last might. A link is also on dreamactivist.org

It's up now, but thanks

Trotsky held the ketchup bottle in his hand and dispensed some of the thick sticky red paste into the bend of his plate, before picking a fire, dipping it in the tomato ketchup and plucking it into his mouth, while saying:

Now we are fighting for 2012/2013.. It will never end...
