Step-By-Step Instructions for Participating in FAIR's "Living Room Lobby" Program March 20-25, 2006

The House and Senate are in recess for Saint Patrick's Day the entire week of March 20-25. That's why FAIR has selected this week as Save the American Worker Week. The full Senate is scheduled to debate immigration legislation beginning on March 27. At this point, most Senators favor an unlimited guest worker amnesty program. This week is your opportunity as constituents and voters to change their minds.

If approved, this program will result in displaced American workers as the wages paid for jobs in virtually every sector of the economy will decline as employers of cheap foreign labor scramble to cash in on the opportunity to cut labor costs at the expense of the American middle class.

If you will spend just a few minutes each day of the week of March 20, your can help win the day and save the American worker.
