Dave Gorak
DO NOT FORWARD THIS E-MAIL OR MAKE COPIES
It is critically important to respond in a timely fashion to these alerts because interest in news stories, editorials, etc., quickly fades in just a matter of days.
FYI: You don't necessarily need a subscription to read articles targeted by our Letter Requests. Many newspapers allow a limited number of free visits each month to their pages.
(1) Please respond to this letter from an open-borders advocate that argues more immigration is the "answer" to deal with our population "decline," "Immigration Is an Antidote to U.S. Fertility Decline"
What population decline? If the writer is speaking strictly in terms of Americans having children below the 2.1 replacement level, that's one thing. But thanks to our reckless immigration policy, Pew Research's projections paint a very different picture, i.e. our population is going to jump 34 percent to 441 million people in only 44 years and immigration will account for nearly 90 percent of that growth.
The writer hypes a poll showing that more Americans than ever (but not even close to a majority) showed support for increased immigration in 2020, but an honest examination of the polling shows skepticism for high immigration surging since Joe Biden became president.
P.S. Don't forget item (7) below!

(5) Please - when appropriate - include in any of your letters to newspapers the "report cards" for your members of Congress provided by NumbersUSA:
Congressional staffers each day go through newspapers looking for references to their bosses; the greater the exposure given to the voting records (good as well as bad) of these legislators the more these individuals will feel our eyes on the back of their necks, watching every move they make.
================
(6) - This is important - These requests present our writers with an opportunity to address their concerns from their own perspective. We want to emphasize that they are intended for participants in this program, plus a few friends, and not for wide distribution. So, please refrain from cc:ing us on your letters-to-the-editor and from talking about the program in public forums.
(7) Let me know if you get a letter published - anywhere - including the publication's name, the date they printed your letter, and the Internet link to it or the text and title as it appeared.
================
The letters program - as all the projects of NumbersUSA - relies upon individuals like you, along with grants from private foundations to reach its goal of an environmentally sustainable and economically just America.
