Graham Being Targeted in Anti-Immigrant Group's TV Ads

NumbersUSA is targeting the Republican Senator from South Carolina for sticking his neck out on immigration reform. Some Republicans have come around lately on the issue in the wake of November's elections, but Graham has been on the right side on immigration reform for many years. And he's been targeted before over the issue. Still, the pro-immigration community needs to hit back tit for tat. FAIR and NumbersUSA have also been having their folks flood the Capitol with faxes, emails and phone calls as they have in the past. The pro-immigration groups now have a database of a million supporters. It's time to get serious with our grassroots efforts and go on the offensive with the ground game.

"I also don't like the fact that the TV messages have all been coming from the anti-immigration folks. Nothing is being aired telling the other side of the story. "

Maybe because president is not serious about this issue as he should be? We definitely need leadership on this issue along with coherent efforts directs with laser like focus.

Hi George - For one, congressional offices need to start getting faxes, emails and phone calls from the pro-immigration side. Believe it or not, they count the communications and it does influence votes. And it's time for the pro-immigration groups to start getting Hill visits lined up for supporters.

I also don't like the fact that the TV messages have all been coming from the anti-immigration folks. Nothing is being aired telling the other side of the story.
