To: Rep. Bryan Steil (WI-1)
Tell Rep. Ryan: Sign the immigration discharge petition today!
Rep. Paul Ryan: Sign the immigration discharge petition in the House and bring reform to a vote!
Why is this important?
Rep. Paul Ryan has said he supports immigration reform, but it seems he’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. Ryan 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. Ryan -- 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. Ryan to start leading and sign the discharge petition. If he really does support immigration reform, Rep. Ryan needs to act now!
