disappointed for thousands of young people whose lives are just in limbo."

But even in defeat, the arrogance of amnesty Democrats was clearly evident. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, bristling over the defeat, said the battle is "still on" promising passage this Fall!

Cecilia Munoz, senior vice president of the National Council of La Raza added, "There is no question that this issue doesn't stop here."

++ Grassroots Answers the Call

Turnout to defeat this latest attempt by open border lawmakers was unprecedented, and spectacular! Dianne Feinstein, a strong supporter of the bill reported receiving more than 4,000 phone calls since September 13. A spokesman for her office reported that while 239 calls were in favor of the bill, 3,805 were opposed!

And that doesn't even include the hundreds of thousands of faxes that literally poured into every Senate office on Capitol Hill over these last few weeks!

Once again the arrogance of our leadership underestimated the strength and power of the people--the citizens of the U.S, who once again demanded enforcement of our existing laws, the building of the fence and absolutely NO AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS!

Simply stated, without your efforts, Durbin and his open-border cohorts would already be celebrating the bill's passage with amnesty special interests.

But, as in the past, we cannot rest on our laurels. Instead we must remain vigilant for the next deceptive amnesty charge. In fact, Harry Reid probably did us all a favor by promising it would be coming again in the Fall.

Thanks for standing with Grassfire. I know that when we sound the next alarm, I will be able to count on you!

Again, thank you so much for your passionate efforts to secure our border and protect our sovereignty!
