They've had it with mass immigration and our country's lax immigration policies. September 11 has made this even more real. This entire lobbying event is being organized by Byron Slater of San Diego. He's made arrangements at a good hotel in Washington, D.C., and researched low-cost airfares. Read more about it here: http://www.numbersusa.com/text?ID=928 Byron's the one to contact (bslater@san.rr.com; or 858/483-4477). This event is not sponsored by NumbersUSA.com or any other national organization. It is truly a grassroots effort from start to finish. But if you decide to come, we certainly want you to know you are invited to drop by our offices on Capitol Hill and pick up any materials, posters or tapes that you can use in your Congressional visits. When you talk to Byron, he will inform you about how participants from each state are coordinating their office visits. We look forward to greeting you, answering questions and assisting you with lobbying tips. -- Linda
