Rep. Tipton: 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 Scott Tipton, is part of a group of Republicans who could be open to 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. Tipton is ready to listen to you and our movement. This past summer he said he'd be open to a DREAM Act-like bill, but remained noncommittal on citizenship for rest of the 11 million.
But that's just not enough. We already have a good bill waiting in the House, and we just need to get Rep. Tipton 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. Tipton into supporting this bill. If we get Rep. Tipton 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. Tipton to stand up for his district by cosponsoring this new immigration bill in the House and passing the path to citizenship for the 11 million!
