Rep. Reed: Please Cosponsor the New House Immigration Bill
Join the more than 180 House members who have so far co-sponsored the new House immigration bill. Your constituents—and 11 million aspiring Americans—are depending on your leadership!
Why is this important?
House Democrats have broken Speaker John Boehner's deadlock and introduced an immigration bill with a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million without papers. So far, over 180 House Democrats have signed on as cosponsors!
But in order to get this bill past the finish line, we're going to need Republican support. The good news is that it's there.
Your district's representative in the House, Congressman Tom Reed, is a part of the group of House Republicans who support immigration reform. His support for this new bill could be the tipping point for our movement. If he becomes a part of the growing group of Republicans who have already cosponsored this bill, we know more of his colleagues in his party will build up the courage to follow.
We know Rep. Reed is ready to listen to you and our movement. We’ve already gotten him to change his mind about citizenship for DREAMers—he wasn’t willing to support it earlier this year, but he got on board this summer. Now we need him to extend that commitment to the rest of the 11 million undocumented immigrants.
We already have a good bill waiting in the House, and we just need to get Rep. Reed to stand by all immigrants -- not just some. He needs to join the more than 180 House members and cosponsor this new immigration bill!
We need you and other advocates in your district to pressure Rep. Reed into supporting this bill. If we get Rep. Reed on board, your district could make all the difference for the millions without papers across the nation.
The momentum is on our side because enough votes exist in the House to pass reform today. But instead Speaker Boehner hides behind excuses, delays, and flat-out refuses to give us a vote.
We've come too far to stop now. Tell Rep. Reed to stand up for all immigrants by cosponsoring this new immigration bill in the House and passing the path to citizenship for the 11 million!
