Dear rosario, As Congress debates immigration reform, Republicans are hearing plenty from some of the most bigoted and extreme voices in their base. Please join People For the American Way by phone this Tuesday, August 27 at 4:00pm Eastern Time (3pm Central / 2pm Mountain / 1pm Pacific) for a special member briefing about the anti-immigrant rhetoric and misinformation influencing Republican decision makers, and the important choice GOP members of Congress face. Click here to RSVP for the call. It’s clear that the virulent vein of nativism and xenophobia that often runs through right-wing political and social movements is certainly present on the American Right. A new Right Wing Watch: In Focus report by PFAW, Congressional Republicans’ Clear Choice on Immigration: Stand With Pro-Reform Majorities or Cave to Anti-Immigrant Extremists, examines the anti-immigration vitriol of far-right pundits and elected officials. On Tuesday’s telebriefing, PFAW Senior Fellow, and the author of the report, Peter Montgomery will discuss the dilemma faced by today’s Republican Party as its members try to placate rabidly anti-immigrant elements in the party base while confronting the need to appeal to the growing number of Latino voters. Please RSVP now to join us on Tuesday at 4pm Eastern Time for this important call and put it on your calendar. We hope you can make it. -- Ben Betz, Online Strategy Manager
