Now ICIRR is engaging in a full frontal assault on Emanuel, by coordinating attack adds with Blue America.  The ads planted in local papers ask a simple question.  “Why is Congressman Emanuel Betraying Our Friends and Families?”:

“The immigrant community is not on Congressman Emanuel’s radar, even though the 5th Congressional District is one of the most diverse districts in the nation. In his own District, legal permanent residents struggle to become US Citizens as they fight red tape, higher fees, and citizenship delays – you name it, and his constituents are still waiting for him to show leadership on immigration reform. If our own Congressman will not champion our rights as immigrants, who will?”— Monika Starczuk, Resident 5th Congressional District

Many of our community and religious leaders understand the dreams of our families, friends and neighbors to make a better life for their children. Why can’t Representative Rahm Emanuel? With our families and communities under attack, we need strong leadership — not political cowardice.

Call Congressman Emanuel now at (773) 267-5926 and tell him “Stop being afraid to fight for immigrants, and start acting like a real leader.
