Thanks for your hard work, he treats me the same way but I am out of state.

I AGREE WITH YOU BRUCE I ALSO HAVE FAXED AND PHONED TO NO AVAIL. OUR SENATOR MENENDEZ IS DEFINITELY DOING WHAT HE WANTS NOT WHAT HIS CONSTITUENTS NEED. AND UNFORTUNATELY THIS STATE WILL PROBABLY VOTE ANOTHER DEMOCRAT IN.

RESPONSE FROM JIM ROBB, NUMBERSUSA'S VICE-PRESIDENT OPERATIONS:

Reminder--NumbersUSA is not and never has been a Repubican group. OR a Democratic group. We are neither conservative NOR liberal. What we ARE FOR is reducing immigration back to traditional, moderate levels, and eliminating all illegal immigration. Any politician who agrees with that--welcome aboard!

Roy:
I finally pulled up your blog today and now I know what you look like. You have a pleasant face. Thanks for your informative blog.

E-verify will work only if you can use it to prescreen applicants. Post-hiring checks are useless because there are other state laws that have to be considered.

Here in Wisconsin we are loaded with illegal immigrants. You don't hear anything about this in the media. Many thousands of our citizens have lost their jobs to the illegals. You can hardly make a telephone call to any business entity here without hearing a recorded message, "For English press '1', for Spanish press '2'." It absolutely infuriates me when that happens. My grandparents immigrated to Wisconsin from Denmark legally in the 1880s. My paternal grandfather was a journeyman sheet metal worker when he came and found work here in his trade. My maternal grandfather found a job in a factory as a laborer. He saved his money and after a few years he had enough to open a confectionary store, and later one of the first nickelodeon theaters in Wisconsin. All four of my grandparents learned to speak, read, and write English. They had a rule in their housholds that only English was to be spoken. This enabled them and their children to blend in more easily in Wisconsin every day life. They never became wealthy. They remained just plain hard working Wisconsin citizens all of their lives. If they were still living they would be outraged at this illegal immigrant problem we are suffering through. Also, they would feel sad for Wisconsin and for America.

Roy, at this point I'm grateful for the 5 years for E-Verify. I believe we can marshall our efforts in the future to make it a permanent requirement for all... if we can make believers of our senators. I thank God for all of you at NumbersUSA and all of my fellow Americans who continue to lend their time and effort and names to our ongoing efforts. Too many of those in Congress think they are above any accounting to We, The People and Menendez is one of them. Since Menendez has been in office he has NEVER responded to any of my faxes or calls (and there have been many)and his staffers are curt and uncomfortable listening to a constituent who points out that their boss is holding E-Verify hostage against the wishes of his constituents and abdicating his responsibility to We, The People who pay his salary and is not honoring his oath of office. I have made mention of the fact that his future hinges on our future and if he continues to flagrently disregard our wishes, we have remedies for that... There are actions and pronouncements being made which we might consider treasonous and anarchistic, not to mention seditious. Doesn't anyone remember that there are laws to deal with those things? Well, we'll continue to fight the good fight and make our voices heard and pray very hard that we'll prevail. We have to. We have honor and integrity on our side.

This is just the beginning we still need the senate to pass it. Keep the pressure on. Senator Boxer is my rep. a lost cause! Other things we need to work on is to get legal immigrants paid the same as Americans to prove that business is using immigration for one purpose only cheap labor! And impose a infrastructure tax on the employers of all immigrants legal or illegal.

Fantastic !!! The system stays alive. Hey why do we have to constantly keep propping up these idiots in Congress to do the right thing? Well, I suppose we could go on ad infinitum with all the sobering theories. But what happens when three states get serious about passing this worker ID system into law and one of them forgets to enforce it as in the case of good ole Georgia. Take a look at the story someone posted on Fire Society: http://www.firesociety.com/forum/thread/26884/Georgia---Governments-fail... The tide of Mexican incursion here in the Capitol is only rising higher. In fact, I heard one wise guy refer to this town as "Aztlanta." That got me pretty hot under the collar. So, I faxed the whole state legislation the following steam valve form letter:
Good Day Representative,
A recent evaluation of Georgia's adherence to the SAVE system revealed that thus far a total of nine Georgia employment entities have applied for the E-Verify program. We the Georgia citizenry find this severe and extreme lack of compliance and ENFORCEMENT of the expressed provisions of S.B. 529 completely OUTRAGEOUS. We insist that either you and your colleagues begin a realistic and comprehensive effort to making sure ALL Georgia employers comply with this LAW ON THE BOOKS or prepare to see a state wide "Grassroots" commitment to voting out all the incumbents in the Legislature who remain ineffective on the issue. Remember, a whole state full of new and generational Georgians held out big hopes on S.B. 529 for their personal solution to the growing problem of the overwhelming invasion of illegal immigrants throughout OUR country. Don't delude yourself into thinking we will accept apathy on your part in response. You'd be surprised how many of your constituents know the unsettling facts about this mass lethargy from our local government representatives. And we also know we expect better results in enforcement by the full effect date of 7/1/09. Enough said.

Dear Roy, I do what I am able to help. I wish I could do more. Thank the good Lord for you and citizens like you.
Keep up the really great efforts and works. Dee

The telephone to reach the Washington office of New Jersy Senator Robert Menendez is 202 224-4744. I have phoned and emailed, suggesting that he could get a shock at the polls if he does not begin to consider the welfare of America and Americans over that of illegal aliens and wanna be H1B immigrants.

When I make my phone calls, I impress upon the office staffers that I consider things like a secure border and E-Verify and Real ID to be SECURITY ISSUES above all else. I am a Trade Tower widow and feel strongly about this.

Your responsibility as a citizen does NOT end the day you vote. It's your job to keep telling your elected representatives what you expect of them. They must be held accountable to the voters . The fate of the country is at stake. Never give up.

I must agree with my fellow Americans. I do not understand the problem some have with E-Verify use on legal U.S. citizens.

If you are legally allowed to work here, than why should you fear E-Verify? Sure there might be some bugs in the system, but they can only be fixed if we use the system.

Once an error is found you should have no more trouble. I know if someone were using my Social Security number illegally, Than I would certainly want it stopped.

Well folks,give yourselves a pat on the back,you worked for it. our numbers added up, and DC took note.But never forget ,it's a fight like no other,we noose? we loose!There will always be a Menendez, or who ever,the point being,if we don't remind these people from the president right on down to our city councilman,(and this would be on any issue that keeps America what she is)what we the people want,we will be sold out,and these people never look back eather.They don't live out here in the real world, and have to live by the action they took in washington.
Roy-I have been with NumbersUSA for over 5 years and have to say, she has never felt and looked so good,you are to be commended for all your hard work,you and your staff. Thank you for the chance to partake.

Thanks, Roy, and everyone else who called and faxed.

I am always amazed when we have a victory, because for so long the interests of the American citizen were ignored after the election in favor of corporate $$$ America.

Finally, members of Congress, who believe they know what's best for us "mere" voters, are awakened to our views. Organized through NumbersUSA, we have POWER.

Glad we didn't lose it all,yet!! The american citizen has been accepting less than we deserve on all issues to the point that if we lose now, nothing is left to lose.I have walked the halls of congress and know how they operate.It is a shame that we have to work so hard,plead and beg for our elected officials to do what's right for america and it's workers. Big oil,big drug and other companies run this country.Our government has become an arm for them. WE have a government problem and both political parties are at fault. It hasn't happened over night and it will be hard to change washington's mindset. I will not vote for any candidate who steps on our citizen's and helps destroy our country. We have given away so many of our freedom's that we don't have any more to give. Yesterday I saw where buisness's owe 58 billion in S.S. taxes over the last 10 years.Wonder if they will go after them like they do individuals. I will keep calling,writing,faxing ,pleading and beging our congress to do what's right. We can't give up , we have to fight harder.GOD bless america and I pray we can turn things aroud before she is destroyed by our own government.

My Senator, Robert Menendez must not be working for America and her citizens. I have faxed him many times asking him to, “Please take your oath of office seriously. The oath that you would defend the constitution and the laws of the land. For without laws we will lose our rights as American Citizens.” I have not received any correspondence from him since he has been elected.

I just received an extremely disturbing email from Sledgehammer stating that the E-Verify is the brain child of Homeland Security and they will use E-Verify for Legal U.S. citizens??? Is this true; if it is true than can demand that E-Verify is strictly for checking the status of Immigration NOT Legal U.S.??? How can I send you the email to share it with you! I DO NOT want this backfiring on Legal U.S.....

RESPONSE FROM ROY: Yes, E-Verify is for every worker.  If you don't use it on every worker, all an illegal alien has to do is say he is a U.S. citizen and he is in free.

But privacy complaints about E-Verify are completely unwarranted, once you look at the facts. And you don't just have NumbersUSA to trust. One of the most vigorous protectors of privacy in America has been Phyllis Schlafly and the Eagle Forum.  Both fully endorse E-Verify and making it mandatory for every employer.

Here is the deal:  E-Verify doesn't require one piece of information about a new hire that the employer doesn't already have to submit to the Social Security Administration and IRS.  There is no additional database.  The feds for decades have known where we work.  Think about it.

E-Verify was started long before DHS.  It was created by Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) who has been the most consistent champion against illegal immigration since 1989. E-Verify is endorsed by virtually every Member of the Immigration Reform Caucus as the most important tool to fight illegal immigration.  Look at the Members of the Caucus and see if you believe all those Members would favor something that would threaten the privacy or American citizens or create some kind of Big Brother operation.

I'm taking this much time to respond because the information and analysis provided by Sledgehammer is so thoroughly wrong and at odds with most of the political leaders who stand guard over immigration and privacy concerns.

The lobbyists for big business fight E-Verify and try to cast aspersions on it because it is increasingly being used by states to stop the hiring of illegal foreign labor.  But the National Federation of Independent Businesses which represents the small businesses of America has endorsed making E-Verify mandatory. Obviously, E-Verify can't be much of a burden if the small business owners of America want it.

Senator Menendez needs to be removed from the Senate.

Any elected person who is willing to make it hard for the American citizen to get a job, by allowing or demanding visas for foreigners. Is not a representative of the People. Therefore, Menendez is in violation of his oath of office pledge and so are any others who vote for visas.

"We the People" are the sovereign government of America,

The President,Senators,Congressmen/Congresswomen,and the elected are SERVANTS, not bosses of the "Government by the People, and of the People."

When they do not represent "WE the People" they have violated the Honest intent of the Constitution of the United States of America.

Thank you so much for all of your diligent work in organizing all of us, the citizens of the U.S., to make it simple to have our voices heard through your website. I just wish that every issue coming out of Washington that needs to be watched, changed and stopped, had someone like you giving us an efficient way of getting our wishes to our politicians. Bravo!!!! Don't Stop!!!!

One down----many, many more to go!!!! Menendez does not have the best interest of AMERICAN CITIZENS at heart. I say we storm his phones, email and fax machines with copies to Reid.

This is great news, we should also focus on the discharge petition for the SAVE Act. We need another 28 signatures. Give your Rep. another call and insist he / she sign the petition.

Thanks to everyone that helped with calls and faxes.

Thank you thank you thank you and Gob Bless America
We have to keep letting those in congress know that they work for us we pay their salaries.

Thanks to Roy and Numbers USA staff for giving American citizens a voice. After the elections they tend to forget we the people. Thanks again.

Roy,

Sometimes we have to take half a loaf. But that is better than nothing at all. I am glad that I checked my e-mail before I started calling again this morning. Over the past few days, I have sent the requested faxes and made calls. As of last night, I had prepared my "speeches" to make calls again this morning. Then I saw your e-mail. Thank you and Numbers USA for all that you do! If you were not there to lead us, I am afraid of where things would be. God bless you.

I have called Menendez' office to let him know that I think his actions reflect badly on the Democrats, who are, after all, supposed to help American workers. Is there anything else you want me to do?
