US Senate supporting illegal immigration

Got this in my email from Grassfire:
From the Desk of: Steve Elliott, President, Grassfire.org Alliance

The Senate is voting on yet another massive spending bill -- the$410 billion omnibus appropriations bill that contains more than 2,900 pages.Worse yet, the bill is laden with 8,500 pork-filled earmarks-- including $473,000 for National Council of La Raza! As you know, La Raza (which means "The Race") is a far-left Latino groupthat has brazenly promoted amnesty and even supported radical Mexicannationalism within our borders. In addition, the spending bill includes…
--$1.8 million for pig odor and manure management
--$200,000 for a "tattoo-removal violence-outreach program" in Los Angeles
--$1.9 million for a water taxi service in Connecticut

Just as bad, the bill does not require competitive bid which willlead to corruption and insider deals for our tax dollars! Well-connectedfriends of members of Congress and the lobbyists will get the contractswithout even having to compete for them!+ + Fax the Senate now and say "Purge The Pork"President Obama who once pledged to go line-by-line to remove wasteful spending now says it's too late to purge the pork from the spending bill. Well, heis wrong! Late last week, the Senate did not have the votes to pass the bill andsome Democrats are now saying they will oppose this pork-laden version ofthe omnibus spending bill. The vote will be very close!That s why I m asking every team member to take action right now in two important ways:

#1 -- Fax your two Arkansas senators and 10 key senators right now(these are the most vulnerable and most likely to be swayed by grassrootspressure). Go here to use our FaxFire system to schedule your faxes or to get the contact information to send your own faxes:http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?U=16838&CID=112&RID=16729596
We must flood the Senate with faxes immediately.

#2 -- Call your two senatorsAfter scheduling your faxes, call your Arkansas senators and tell themyou oppose the omnibus spending bill. Urge them to vote "NO" as long as it has 8,500 pork-laden earmarks in it. Sen. Lincoln 202-224-4843 Sen. Pryor 202-224-2353
(You can also use the main Senate Switchboard at (202-224-3121)

We re hearing that the first key vote is expected this evening -- with other crucial votes expected as soon as Tuesday.Kenneth, we have a window of opportunity to short-circuit this massivepork bill, but I am completely dependent on your help right now. Please... take action and tell the Senate to "Purge The Pork."Steve Elliott, President Grassfire.org
