Here's an email we sent out to help push back on ant-immigrant amendments to the health care bill:
UPDATE:Read full release and check out coverage in the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post.Dear Friend,
This week, the Senate Finance Committee has been debating health care reform and today it will debate a series of mean spirited amendments that require the government to discriminate against lawful immigrants, causing many of them to lose access to affordable health care.
Can you call your Senator and tell them to oppose these harmful amendments?Click here to use our click-to-call tool and you will be connected to your senator:Once you're connected, tell your Senator that lawful immigrants must have access to affordable health care and that you oppose excessive verification requirements that are unnecessary because they will hurt U.S. citizens and immigrants alike.This health care debate is about accessibility and affordability for everyone not unnecessary administrative barriers that keep affordable health care from families.Call your senator today and tell them to oppose all harmful amendments that would prevent immigrantfamilies from getting access to affordable health care.In solidarity,Joaquin GuerraSEIU.org
