Conservative Declaration Opposing Amnesties

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

I happened to catch this press conf on CSPAN last night

12:17 AM EDT
0:47 (est.)
News Conference
Conservative Declaration Opposing Amnesties
Secure Borders Coalition
Howard Phillips , Conservative Caucus
Phyllis Schlafly , Eagle Forum

I was channel flipping between CSPAN and PBS and caught this. This group has signed a declaration to defeat Repub candidates who support amnesty for illegal immigrants. They said that they haven't left the Repub Party, the Party has left them. This is from the website of one of the leaders...

"Regardless of how much we agree with a candidate on any other issue, we cannot support them if the Senate Bill or the Pence Plan is enacted. If we continue to ignore border security, or grant amnesty to 10 million illegal aliens and gain 66 million new immigrants, we will lose the America we now know and all other issues of importance to us will disappear.

And, finally, we dedicate ourselves to defeating any 2008 Presidential candidate who supports the Senate bill, the Pence Plan, or any other bill that provides legalization of illegal aliens or substantial increases in legal immigration. We pledge to do so regardless of political party, in both the primaries and the general election."

A reporter asked them about the flag burning amendment and they basically said that it was a diversion. You can't fool all the people all of the time.
