Earlier today, Eliseo Medina, SEIU International Executive Vice President sent the following message to our members and supporters:
Dear Friend,
Yesterday, over 200,000 men, women, and children from all across the country gathered in Washington DC to deliver a clear message to our nation's leaders.
The time is now to pass comprehensive immigration reform once and for all!
Tell your Senator that this issue will not go away.

The energy, the commitment, the love of country that I saw, made me proud to be an American - and proud to be an American immigrant!
It also reminded me that the voices of the reasonable majority in this country can not be drowned out by an angry, out-of-touch minority. We will not be deterred by the same cynics who have made Washington synonymous with inaction, partisan pettiness and self-interest.
This is our time to, in President Obama's words, "overcome the numbing weight of our politics."
That's why I need your help.
Can you write your Senators and tell them to get to work on immigration reform now?

It's time to get immigration reform done right, to get it done quickly, and to make sure it works for America.
Write your Senators today.
