To: Rep. Kevin McCarthy (CA-23)
Sign the petition to urge Rep. McCarthy to give us a vote on citizenship!
I urge you to give us a vote on citizenship and oppose piece meal bills that do not include a path to citizenship. Americans and new Americans have been waiting for far too long.
Why is this important?
We need your immediate help. During the August congressional recess, lasting from August 2 to September 3, we are escalating the pressure to urge Republican U.S. Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the House Majority Whip, to stand up for real immigration reform. We need McCarthy to oppose all piece meal immigration bills that do not feature a path to citizenship, including the bill by GOP House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, H.R. 1773. McCarthy needs to vote for commonsense immigration reform that includes a roadmap to citizenship.
As Majority Whip, Rep. Kevin McCarthy is a top Republican leader in Congress. His leadership gives him the ability to influence other Members of Congress. Sign the petition today telling him that his responsibility to his district and this nation is to vote for a real solution – comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship.
The House Judiciary Committee has passed four piece meal bills. One of those measures includes H.R. 1773, sponsored by Rep. Goodlatte. Goodlatte’s bill does not include a new immigration process. His bill is a farm worker guest worker bill that bears much closer resemblance to the infamous 1942-1964 bracero guest worker program than it does to the immigration changes needed in the 21st Century. House members cannot take a vote on proposals that do not fix our broken immigration system.
We urge Rep. McCarthy to use his leadership to defeat the Goodlatte bill and give us a vote on citizenship. All through the August recess we will continue holding actions throughout California until House GOP lawmakers and leaders like Rep McCarthy take a stand on immigration reform with a path to citizenship.
Take action today. Sign the petition to urge McCarthy on a vote for citizenship. We need to go forward, not backward.
