Doing nothing is not a solution. Immigrants' List is a political action committee (PAC) dedicated to electing members of Congress who support common-sense immigration reform. If you care about immigration reform, please make a contribution to fight back against the scare tactics and misinformation being deployed by opponents of reform.

Dear Friends:

As we prepare to head into a new year -- an election year -- immigration reform is proving to be a rising priority, as evidenced by several recent editorials, columns, and commentaries that call on Congress to address this important issue in 2010.  One editorial in the San Diego Union-Tribune sums it up nicely:

Now there are signals that the discussion will begin in March or April of 2010. But, of course, that's only the Washington portion of the conversation we're talking about. Around the country, from Dallas to Des Moines to Detroit, there is really no need to restart the immigration debate because it never stopped.

As we head into a crucial midterm election year, we must step up our efforts to ensure immigration reform doesn't get lost among the debates over health care reform, financial regulation, and climate change. That's where your support for Immigrants' List comes in:

• Click here to write or call your elected officials and let them know you support sensible immigration reform and that Congress must bring about real reform in 2010. And urge your family and friends to do the same. Members of Congress track the numbers of phone calls, letters, and e-mails they receive on an issue. Speaking out makes a difference!
• Click here to contribute $10, $25, $50 or whatever you can afford to support pro-reform members of Congress and to help elect our pro-reform slate of candidates. Every dollar helps!

Our opponents see no room for a path to citizenship in any reform legislation. They will back members of Congress who stand in the way of sensible reform. They will try to surpass the more than $1 million they raised in the last election cycle to elect candidates who will resist reform. We must start 2010 in a strong position to fight back against the scare tactics and misinformation our opponents will use, but we can only do it with your help. Please contribute $10, $25, $50 or whatever you can afford to help bring about meaningful changes to our nation's immigration system in 2010.

Here's to a successful and reform-filled new year!
