Unfortunately they also passed Sen. Salazar's amendment which completely watered down Inhofe's amendment and practically made it irrelevant.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

The Senate can't even take a strong stand on making English our national language.

We don't need a law for the liberal courts to interpret as they see fit; we need an amendment to the Constitution.

That is the only thing that will stop liberal judges and special interest groups around the country from requiring non-English schools, classes, government programs, and everything else in Spanish and other languages.

I believe the majority of Americans would support that amendment now.

It would also help Republicans with their base for a change, but they can't even get this easy one right!!!

We really do need a third party -- a Conservative Party -- that can speak for Conservatives and push Republicans to do the right thing. Republicans no longer seem capable of doing it on their on!

MY OPEN LETTER TO SENATOR FRIST:

Senator:
Thanks for the PAC site - in the unlikely event that Senate Republicans go back to their core principles and reject the amnesty plan that's proposed, and reduce the millions increase in legal immigration that will balkanize the country (worse than it already is), then we will gladly contribute.

Senator, why is the Senate going ahead with a plan that is the functional equivalent of national suicide, and will doubtless result in the loss of both houses of Congress for Republicans? Do Republican Senators seriously think that these new citizens will vote Republican? What credit did Republicans get for the 1986 plan? And Please tell me why the Senate is going forward with this amnesty plan in the face of almost universal - and strenuous - opposition from Republican rank and file. In fact, most Democrats and independants are against the plan. So....why adopt it?

We could little have imagined that in one short year, under President Bush's leadership (or rather lack of leadership), we are now in danger of losing both houses of Congress. The reason for this isn't the war, Senator - you would have continued support from the rank and file in our war effort. It's immigration, which already may have led to the loss of conservative talk radio's ready identification with the Republican party. And for what - where is the support for this bill? What is the constituency? It isn't Republican that's for sure! Heck, it isn't Democratic!

Senator, you will never win a Presidential election by trying to be all things to all people - Kerry tried it and it didn't work. People want a leader with strong principles, who talk directly to them and who they can trust. The Senate bill is at heart a cynical and dishonest piece of legislation, and those Republicans who support it will end up paying a heavy price. In fact, however, that price is going to be paid by all Republicans, to say nothing of ordinary Americans who will bear the burden of this legislation for decades to come. Let me ask you again - who supports this bill, and why has it come up now, at the worst time for Republicans?

I assure you Senator, that it is a mistake to underestimate the real anger out there at Republican legislators and President Bush among Republicans. There was always anger on the part of Democrats but it is now joined by rank and file Republicans who see the Senate as completely abandoning principles that put the party in power. This is not forgive and forget, either. The end result of this anger, Senator, is change, and change means a Democratic Congress, and eventually the Presidency, likely for years to come.

In short, history will not kindly remember those responsible for the mess we will be in if the Senate bill passes.

Senator Frist, being a staunch Republican, I never throught I would write a letter like this one, but my bitterness at seeing all the efforts of the last 12 years simply being wasted away by an out of touch Senate and President is too much to bear. It is going to be with absolute dismay that, like many other Republicans, we intend to withold our votes in November. However, what the Senate and President are doing simply leave us no other choice. We couldn't be more bitter and upset about it.

Please note that I intend to post this note as an open letter on major blog sites to you Senator, from rank and file Republicans who are deeply upset and puzzled over the betrayal on the part of Senate Republicans on the issue of immigration and the President's amnesty plan. I've discussed its contents with my wife, the most rock solid Republican you would ever meet, who is utterly dismayed at what is going on in the Senate.

Does that mean El Presidente Bush will take down the White House website?
