Call Your Local Senators & Representatives

Do you support comprehensive immigration reform?  If you do, one of the most effective ways to make your voice heard is to call your local senators and representatives.  
 
In the meetings I have had with the staff of local congressmen & women, the primary justification I hear for their ambivalence, or opposition, towards immigration reform is “my constituents are all against anything that could be construed as amnesty.”
 
Apparently, there are a lot of people out there who have nothing better to do all day but call their elected officials and demand they ruin immigrants’ lives.  Does that make them a bunch of bastards?  I think that’s the modern vernacular for anyone who senselessly tries to make another’s life miserable.  It is also our own fault.
 
Nothing prevents us from calling or e-mailing our senators & representatives.  The haters do it, and so can we.  Just to make your job a little easier, below you can find a list of everyone all of us should be calling or e-mailing every.  Single.  Week.
