Grassroots Victory Spurs Latino Groups to Action

Thanks in large part to grassroots phone calls, and faxes, demanding "NO AMNESTY for illegals" the White House has again postponed their so-called "bi-partisan" meeting to discuss immigration reform.
Originally scheduled for June 8, the meeting was moved to this Wednesday before being put off again, with no new date set.
According to the United Press International, the indefinite delay suggests that the Obama Administration is finding immigration reform more difficult than expected.

With the announcement, pro-immigration organizations
came out strong--demanding Obama make good on his
promise to Latino voters.
"Patience is wearing thin in the Latino and Immigration
communities and Obama needs to follow through with
the commitment he made to more than 10 million Latinos
that voted in the last Presidential election," says
Francisco Lopez, executive Director of CAUSA (the largest
Hispanic civil and human rights organization in the
Pacific Northwest).
Starting today, CAUSA as well as numerous other immigration rights organizations will launch a massive call, fax and email initiative directed at the White House and lawmakers demanding the meeting go forward!
Now is not the time to relax.
Latino rights groups are engaged, motivated and mobilized-holding Obama's feet to the fire about comprehensive immigration reform!
That's why it is critical that grassroots citizens take immediate action to counter their massive push this week.

With Obama's latest postponement, there's no question that we have the momentum. But we can't allow amnesty groups to steal it away. We absolutely must remain strong and unwavering in our demands for border security and enforcement and no amnesty for illegals under any circumstances.

With your help right now, I'm hoping to deluge congressional offices with thousands of "NO AMNESTY!" faxes throughout the week to offset the activities of the open-border crowd.
Obama's hesitation on immigration is victory for us, but we can't slow down. Not when immigration rights organizations are kicking off an aggressive campaign to move Obama forward.
Thanks for standing with Grassfire!
