Since I can't trust the GOP Congress to stop this on their own...

Contact Congress about “Citizenship Promotion Act of 2007” (S. 795, H.R.1379)
This bill, proposed by Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), would authorize $80 million for grants to help permanent resident aliens become citizens, especially as grants for lawyers representing legally aliens. If a background check for a citizenship application cannot be completed in 90 days, a series of reports are required for EACH application, to be submitted to 4 different congressional committees. Naturalization tests are weakened, so that the English language proficiency is reduced to knowing a few words, and various factors can be used to excuse poor performance. Besides creating a job-security fund for immigration lawyers, it freezes the fees applicants must pay, and requires Congress to appropriate whatever the difference is between the fees and the actual costs of the program.
Read about it here at the CAIR legislative link—of course, they are supporting it: http://capwiz.com/cair/issues/bills/?bill=9681966&size=full
Please email (usually an online form), fax, phone or send a letter to your Senators asking them to oppose S.795, and to your Representatives asking them to oppose H.R. 1379). Your Congressional contacts are here: http://www.congress.org
