To: Rep. Donna Shalala (FL-27)
Tell Rep. Ros-Lehtinen: Sign the immigration discharge petition today!
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: Sign the immigration discharge petition in the House and bring reform to a vote!
Why is this important?
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen has said she supports immigration reform, but it seems she’s done little to pressure Speaker Boehner to act.
We know that if immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship were put up for a vote in the House, it could pass -- but Speaker Boehner refuses to budge.
But there's a way to pressure Republicans like Rep. Ros-Lehtinen to act.
House Democrats have just started a legislative procedure called a "discharge petition" to force action on immigration reform.
If the nearly 30 House Republicans who support reform --- including Rep. Ros-Lehtinen -- join Democrats in signing this discharge petition, we can force Speaker Boehner to bring immigration to a vote, whether he likes it or not.
We need Rep. Ros-Lehtinen to start leading and sign the discharge petition. If she really does support immigration reform, Rep. Ros-Lehtinen needs to act now!
