Rep. Suzanne Bonamici to hold Town Halls

Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici has announced that she will soon hold a series of town hall meetings across Oregon’s First Congressional District.

A town hall meeting is an excellent opportunity to ask a specific question about illegal immigration and plans to fix the problem.

Here is the schedule of Rep. Bonamici’s Town Halls. If you have questions about them, call 503-326-2901, her Portland OR office number.

Some background on Rep. Bonamici’s record is included below the schedule.

Please remember to be polite in speaking to the Congresswoman but persistent also. Let OFIR know if you attend a town hall meeting and tell us what happens. It's time to get involved!

Rep. Bonamici said in a campaign debate on Jan. 6, 2012, that she supports comprehensive immigration reform, which means amnesty for illegal aliens. Also she stated that she opposes state laws such as Arizona’s, which attempt to protect citizens from uncontrolled immigration while the federal government is failing in its duty. In a Dec. 6, 2011 debate, she called the E-Verify program "notoriously unreliable" when it has been proven the program is 99% accurate.

While she was in the Oregon Legislature in 2008, she voted to continue giving Oregon driver licenses to illegal aliens when she voted against SB 1080 to require proof of legal status to obtain a driver license. And in 2011, she voted for the bill to grant in-state tuition to illegal aliens, SB 742.

Like all other politicians, Rep. Bonamici talks about creating jobs.　 You might ask her if she believes that American citizens should get the jobs.
