            We have the \"smoking gun\" on why the government isn't

            building the double-layered fence mandated by law.



           Please read below and forward to your friends.

Bill,



As we reported to you last week, our government has built just five

miles of the 854 miles of double-layer border fence mandated by

the Secure Fence Act of 2006.

This outrageous fact begs a question...

Why? If the law mandated a double layer fence covering 854 miles,

then how come such little progress has been made?

+ + Border fence funding hoax of 2006 and 2007

Grassfire.org's research staff has blown the lid off a deceptive

and convoluted border fence funding sham being perpetrated on

the citizens of our nation.

          Warning -- reading this report will enrage you. It will

          infuriate you. Go here to access the full report:

As you will see in this report, Congress and the Administration

are pretending to support a real border fence but then working

behind the scenes to ensure that the Secure Fence Act is never

really implemented.

It happened last year, and as I write, Congress is trying to repeat

its Border Fence Funding Hoax on us again! Here's how...

As you may know, last week an amendment providing $3 billion for

border security was stripped from the DOD appropriations bill.

We fully expect that bill to be added to the DHS funding bill

in the next few days. But even if they pass the $3 billion

funding amendment, DHS may not be required to use any of that

money for the border fence.

Not ONE DIME!

That's because of another amendment by Sen. Hutchison that says

DHS does not have to build the fence! Sen. Hutchison's staff told

us this amendment (also removed from DOD appropriations) will also

be re-attached to the DHS appropriations bill.

+ + Action Items: Help expose the Funding Hoax



I need your help to expose Congress’ Fence Funding

Hoax. We need to flood every House and Senate office with faxes

demanding action.

Specifically, we are calling for an amendment (or amendments) to

be added to the DHS appropriations bill to fully fund the

double-layer fence and directly tie that funding to the actual

building of the fence mandated by the Secure Fence Act.

I am asking you to take two actions today:

       1. Send faxes to your Senators, your Congressman and other

           key leaders exposing the Fence Funding Hoax Go here:

http:\/\/www.grassfire.org\/22042\/offer.asp?rid=14123415<\/a>

(As always you can use our FaxFire system or send your own faxes.

All the information is provided at the above link.)

        2. Call your Senators and Congressman today:

Sen. Domenici   202-224-6621

Sen. Bingaman   202-224-5521

To reach your representative, call the House Switchboard:

202-221-3121.

Talking Points:

1. I am disappointed that Congress has not tied the border security

  funding directly to the double-layer fence mandated by the Secure

  Fence Act.

2. I call on Congress to reject any amendments (such as the

  Hutchison Amendment, SA 3176 to H.R. 3222) that gives Homeland

  Security total discretion over whether or not to build a

  border fence.

3. I call on Congress to amend the DHS appropriations bill to

  fully fund 854 miles of DOUBLE-LAYER fencing and directly tie

  such funding to the Secure Fence Act's two-layer fence mandate.

Again, please read our full report. You will be outraged when you

see how the \"fix was in\" last year even before the Senate voted on

the Secure Fence Act -- and how Congress is trying to repeat the

funding hoax this year.

The DHS appropriations bill is in House-Senate conference right

now and could move quickly.

Thank you for taking action.

Steve Elliott, President
