Obama's Organizing For Action Sure Likes The Gang of 8 Immigration Bill

Last week the one and only hearing on the massive 800+ page long
illegal immigration reform bill from the Gang of 8 was postponed due to
the Boston Marathon bombing, but as things start to get back on schedule
here in Washington D.C., Obama's Organizing for Action is asking
supporters to hit the phone banks in favor of the legislation.
Friend --
Last week, a bipartisan group of eight senators introduced a bill that
could pave the way toward passing comprehensive immigration reform.
OFA supporters across the country are doing what they do best --
organizing to get the word out about this reform bill. We're hosting a
major Day of Action the first week of May, and we want your help in
getting people to be a part of it.
This is a huge moment for President Obama and for anyone who believes
we need to fix our broken immigration system. The President made it
clear last year that comprehensive immigration reform is a big part of
his agenda -- and we can help him keep that promise to the American
people.
Even more importantly: We can literally change the lives of millions
of immigrants and DREAMers -- including the 11 million people currently
living in the shadows. This bill will go a long way toward securing our
borders, providing a pathway to citizenship, and reducing the current
backlog of applications.
And here's the best part: It's absolutely achievable. This is a bill
that can pass the House and the Senate, but only if we're willing to
fight for it.
This will take time -- we're not going to finish this fight today or
tomorrow, that's for sure. So we've got to start laying the groundwork
now.
Come out to the phone bank this Tuesday -- and let's go:

Democrats in general seem to really be liking this thing. From
POLITICO:
When Democrats got a look at the 844-page measure, they discovered
that their negotiators extracted more concessions than they thought
possible. Those include an expansive version of the DREAM Act and subtle
but meaningful tradeoffs on all the major pieces of the system, from
family reunification to legalization and border security.
