Rep. Walden: Please Cosponsor the New House Immigration Bill

House Democrats have broken Speaker John Boehner's deadlock and introduced an immigration bill with a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million without papers. So far, over 180 House Democrats have signed on as cosponsors!

But in order to get this bill past the finish line, we're going to need Republican support. The good news is that it's there.

Your district's representative in the House, Congressman Greg Walden, is one of the 29 House Republicans who support immigration reform with a path to citizenship. His support for this new bill could be the tipping point for our movement. If he becomes a part of the growing group of Republicans who have already cosponsored this bill, we know more of his colleagues in his party will build up the courage to follow.

We know Rep. Walden is ready to listen to you and our movement. In fact, Rep. Walden said this past summer that he'd be open to citizenship for the 11 million "if they pay a fine, if they true up in all their areas and then go to the back of the line, there's probably a way then that they can get there."

But it’s just not enough. We already have a good bill waiting in the House, and we just need to get Rep. Walden to stand by his words and come to our side. He needs to join the more than 180 House members and cosponsor this new immigration bill!

We need you and other advocates in your district to pressure Rep. Walden into supporting this bill. If we get Rep. Walden on board, your district could make all the difference for the millions without papers across the nation.

The momentum is on our side because enough votes exist in the House to pass reform today. But instead Speaker Boehner hides behind excuses, delays, and flat-out refuses to give us a vote.

We've come too far to stop now. Tell Rep. Walden to stand up for his district by cosponsoring this new immigration bill in the House and passing the path to citizenship for the 11 million!
