This is an exact copy of a letter I received today.
Quote:
Dear Harvey,
Last night, the U.S. Senate voted 75-23 to block funding for the Bush administration's illegal and reckless plan to open the border to trucks from Mexico.
This vote sent a clear message to Bush and the Department of Transportation that they cannot ignore. Congress and the American people have spoken with one voice.
We won and you helped make it happen!
Senators from both sides of the aisle let us know that it was your emails that convinced them to vote against the program despite White House pressure to support it. Their inboxes were filled as constituents expressed their outrage with the Bush administration's attempt to sucker-punch the American people.
Thanks to your efforts, the safety of the American driving public will not be compromised for the sake of lining the pockets of Bush's big business cronies.
Thank you again for making a difference in the lives of American workers.
In Solidarity,
Jim Hoffa

Hopefully, I hope I can say we all made it happen. But as I have stated before, we can't drop the ball now. Once safety concerns are met, they will try to ram this down our throats again. We still need to stay on our representatives and prove to them that it will be bad for our economy if they ever do open the borders to Mexican trucks.
