"Tear down this wall"
It is the twentieth anniversary of Ronald Reagan's demand that the Soviet Union "tear down" the Berlin Wall. Power Line has some great exclusive coverage, plus video of the key segment of the speech. Watch the video, listen to Ronald Reagan, and think about whether his words contain useful lessons for both the hawks and the doves in the present confrontation with Iran.

Bush-Kennedy Amnesty Bill Update
To: Habu
Habu,
Bush and the Amnesty Senators are now preparing to bring
the Bush-Kennedy Amnesty bill back for a vote immediately.
Yesterday, Commerce Secretary Gutierrez said the administration
is "more determined than ever" to pass amnesty and Tony Snow
added that the Senate "could wrap this up in two days." Now,
Bush has scheduled a meeting with Senate Republicans on
Tuesday to plan strategy and Majority Leader Reid is saying
he is ready to move the bill to a vote.
Habu, I am outraged and you should be as well.
Just last week, the American people soundly rejected Bush-Kennedy
Amnesty. The New York Times even featured Grassfire.org and
three of our team members in a Page One lead story yesterday
entitled "Grass Roots Roared". Now, they are bringing amnesty back!
See the NYTimes article linked here:
http://www.grassfire.org/19042/offer.asp?rid=13413755
Two crucial action items:
Action Item #1-- Call Your Senators and the White House
and tell them to "Back Off"!
Sen. Martinez 202) 224-3041
Sen. Nelson (202) 224-5274
White House Switchboard: 202-456-1414
White House Comment Line: 202-456-1111
Talking Points:
1. I am outraged that the President and the Senate are
again planning on pushing this amnesty bill.
2. I am offended that these leaders are ignoring the
clear voice of grassroots Americans.
3. I call on you to announce publicly your opposition to
the Bush-Kennedy amnesty bill and call on the Senate
to abandon plans for further debate.
Action #2 -- Fax the President and Senate NOW!
I know you have done so much already, but we cannot stop now.
We have added key Bush Administration targets to our Fax Hot
List, in addition to key Senators who must be reached today
with a flood of faxes.
Go here to send your faxes:

Our staff and contacts on the Hill sensed all along that the
Amnesty Gang would bring this bill back.
Now, they have made their intentions perfectly clear.
The New York Times said that the "Grass Roots Roared" in
opposition to Bush-Kennedy Amnesty. Well, now we must
roar even louder!
Thanks for your immediate action!
Steve Elliott, President
