IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED Charles W. Boustany, Jr. Congressman from Louisiana has introduced H. Res. 1025 which calls for immediate action on Congressman Stupak's Return Worker Exemption Bill. This is a permanent and immediate fix. The resolution is now being considered by the rules committee and IT MUST PASS THE RULES COMMITTEE. When (and if) it passes the rules committee, it will be brought to the floor of the House for a vote. This is our best chance to date to get a permanent and immediate solution to the H2b Crisis. I NEED EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, YOUR SPOUSE, YOUR CHILDREN, YOUR MANAGERS, YOUR EMPLOYEES, YOUR VENDORS, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR SPONSORS, YOUR BOWLING TEAM…ANYONE WHO WILL SUPPORT YOU TO GET ON THE PHONE FRIDAY, MARCH 7th AND CALL: FIRST: CALL EACH AND EVERY MEMBER OF THE RULES COMMITTEE AND ASK THEM TO SUPPORT H. RES. 1025 BY VOTING TO PASS IT IN COMMITTEE. Louise McIntosh Slaughter (NY) 202-225-3615 James P. McGovern (MA) 202-225-6101 Alcee L.

Looks like a lot of phone calls BUT H Res 1025 would allow the House to vote on the h-2B Visa fix DESPITE the objections from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus which have prevented early H-2B votes. There are enough Republicans nd Democrats favoring an H-2B solution to pass a fix if it makes it to the floor. SO, if RULES votes YES, the House can vote YES on H Res 1025 and then take action on Visa relief. Once through the House, on the Senate side the fix should encounter less opposition.
