We need to say MORE and say CLEARLY, how Boehner and Republicans must finally put the Senate Immigration Bill to a vote!! The American Public needs to hear THIS REPEATEDLY and LOUDLY and OFTEN.
Mention the past 18+ months of Boehner and House Republican FAILURE to act on Immigration Reform by not allowing a vote.
We need to CHALLENGE Boehner to put the Senate Bill to a House vote IMMEDIATELY and any failure to do so must be seen as proof of Republican REFUSAL of immigration reform. So far, Republicans only lame response to being confronted with this is "well that was the past Senate". Then the media/interviewed moves on without addressing and staying with this one point. Democrats in the media need to come back and state how the "this was the past Senate" excused is 18+ months of further proof of Republican refusal of immigration reform AND this can be changed NOW by bringing it up for an immediate vote in the House. KEEP THE DISCUSSION ON THE NEED FOR AN IMMEDIATE HOUSE VOTE! Then watch Republican's squirm - don't let them keep hammering the American public with their "executive action is lawlessness".
Sat Nov 15, 2014 at 8:39 AM PT: We are several days into the Immigration Reform and Executive Action discussions. I think the discussion is shifting too much to Executive Action because the Republicans are so good at hammering ONE consistent point of view - the lawlessness of executive action.
We have to keep the discussion focused on the need for immediate Immigration Reform and yes, blame the Republicans for their attempts to hide the fact that they will never agree to meaningful reform. If we keep hammering Republican failure to vote on bi-partisan, Senate Bill we make it harder for them to hide.
Do you think we are winning the MESSAGING Game?
