News for Amigos de Casa San José: March 10, 2017


Dear Casa San Jose Amigos,
We are getting in touch to ask you to impact some legislation that would cause even more suffering to our community.
Please contact your Pennsylvania state representatives to demand they vote NO on pending PA Legislation attacking sanctuary cities and campuses that are trying to protect undocumented immigrants from rapid and often illegal deportation efforts without access to legal help. 
Click on the Representative’s name to get to his/her web page, and the contact information is under the photo.  To email, click on the letter icon on the left; to call, see the phone numbers underneath.
The Representatives listed below are especially important to contact.  They are Democrats that have supported anti-immigrant legislation in the past and could vote the right way if enough constituents call them.  So if one of these is yours, you get extra points!
Dom Costa (412) 361-2040
Tony De Luca (412) 793-2448
Bill Kortz (412) 466-1940
Anita Astorino Kulik (412) 264-4260
Joe Markosek (412) 856-8284
Harry Readshaw (412) 881-4208
SUGGESTED SCRIPT:
“Hello, my name is _____ and I live at ______ (important because they only want to hear from their own constituents.)
Please do not support anti-immigrant bills because (use any of the following or your own reasons)
·      they tear families apart
·      they do nothing to make our country safer
·      they are unconstitutional
·      they keep vital workers and contributing community members away from our region
·      they are the opposite of our country’s tradition of openness and generosity
·      any personal story or feelings – those are powerful.
Many thanks for your help,
The Casa San Jose family
