Can Representative Gordan Take The Big Step?

Representative Gordan,
Thank you for the beginnings of responsible representation
for the citizens of Tennessee.

Please become vocal about our country's crisis and plight.
Please vocalize support to Secure Our Borders worry about
everything else later!

Perhaps, you will come to realize if you do not step up
loudly now you will soon have no state or country to
be elected to represent!

SECURE OUR BORDERS and worry about everything else later!

David A. Bess

> Dear David,

> Thank you for contacting me about the
> state of our nation's borders security. I
> appreciate hearing from you.

> I agree with you about the importance
> of securing our nation's borders. The
> uncontrolled flow of people across our
> border poses a serious threat to national
> security, jobs, and welfare. For that
> reason, I have been a long time advocate for
> more border security. In the 108th
> Congress, I voted to allow the U.S. military
> to patrol our borders if needed. Last year,
> I voted for the REAL ID Act which allows for
> the completion of a security fence along the
> San Diego border with Mexico.

> Last December, I voted for the tough
> immigration bill that passed the U.S. House
> of Representatives. The bill requires the
> U.S. Department of Homeland Security to
> develop a national strategy for border
> security and to work with the Department of
> Defense to increase the availability and use
> of military equipment in border
> surveillance. The legislation also requires
> installation of security fencing along key
> points of the Mexican border.

> I am also co-sponsoring several bills to
> address this problem. For example, I am
> cosponsoring H.R. 4313, the TRUE Enforcement
> and Border Security Act, which will provide
> for the construction of a security fence
> along the U.S./Mexico border. I am also
> cosponsoring H.R. 780 which provides for
> assured funding for more border patrol
> agents, H.R. 3704 which establishes a Border
> Patrol Auxiliary to help the U.S. Border
> Patrol monitor the U.S. / Mexican border,
> and H.R. 4816, which criminalizes the
> construction or financing of a border
> tunnel.

> I have supported these and other
> measures to secure our nation's borders and
> to control the rising number of people that
> enter our country illegally each year at a
> high cost to American citizens. As
> legislation is introduced in Congress that
> affects immigration, rest assured that I
> will carefully review it to ensure that it
> is right for our country and right for
> Middle Tennessee.

> Thank you again for contacting me. If
> I may be of assistance to you or your
> family, feel free to call on me.
