Edward Juarez-Pagliocco President, IIF/ICM

Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for your interest in our drive, it is with the help and support of concerned individuals like yourself that we can accomplish our goal. The purpose of our campaign, which was started on September 26, 1997, by the International Immigrants Foundation, is to raise public awareness about the harshness of the current Immigration Act of 1996 and the adverse impact of the Act’s provisions on the social, economic, cultural and political structure of the United States society.

The campaign, now progressing rapidly toward its target of 1 million petitions and 10,000 new naturalized voters per state drive, also aims to enlighten the general public about the new Act’s implications and the need to change the negative perceptions about our immigrant population.

In order for the International Immigrants Foundation to be successful in its drive, several things must happen. We must change the public opinion about undocumented immigrants through educational and informational campaigns, naturalization campaigns and voter registration. Media events, such as the International Cultures Celebration, held annually by the International Immigrants Foundation, also help, through entertainment, in educating the public. We must send a clear message to all elected officials that today’s immigrants are tomorrows voting citizens.

Once again, thank you for your support and please feel free to duplicate and distribute copies of the petition to all those interested. The International Immigrants Foundation is here to help so if you have any questions or suggestions do not hesitate to call us.

Sincerely,

Edward Juarez Pagliocco
President
