From Roy Beck: "When a discharge petition is filed, Members of the House have to walk up to the clerk on the House floor to sign the petition. Immediately upon the filing today, a line formed, snaking around the House chamber, with Members eager to show their frustration with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) who is unlikely on her own ever to allow the bill to the floor without attaching an amnesty.
By the end of the day, 139 Members had already signed H.R. 4088 (the Secure America with Verification Enforcement Act)!
We will need 218 signatures (the majority of the House) to force the vote.
The minute the petition was filed today, we sent out Alerts to you and you started the phones ringing in every single Representative's office -- as well as burning up their fax machines ..."
See "numbersusa.com" to see Reps who are on board and for info to contact whose who aren't. This will add 8,000 more border patrol and help ID illegals and those who employ them. No amnesty to be given!! The last I heard, 163 had signed.
