47 Talk Radio Hosts Arrive in Washington, D.C. for Two-Day Immigration Enforcement Broadcast

Hold Their Feet to the Fire 2009 Has Special Focus on Health Care Reform
Benefits for Illegal Aliens

On September 15 and 16, 47 talk radio hosts from across the country, including Lou Dobbs, will broadcast continuously live both days from the Phoenix Park Hotel on Capitol Hill as part of Hold Their Feet to the Fire 2009 Radio-thon. They are gathering to remind Congress and the new administration that rampant illegal immigration, efforts to grant amnesty, and taxpayer subsidized health care benefits to millions of law-breakers are hot button issues for the American public.

Organized by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and Radio America Networks' Roger Hedgecock, Hold Their Feet to the Fire's participating talk hosts will speak with listeners, immigration experts, high profile media personalities, and activists about critical immigration policy issues. They will discuss the cost and impact of continued illegal immigration on jobs, wages, education, the environment and national security, the loopholes within America's Affordable Health Care Act of 2009 allowing illegal aliens access to taxpayer-funded benefits, needed reauthorization of E-Verify, and the Obama Administration's plans for amnesty.

In addition to this showcasing of talk radio as the "Town Hall of the Airwaves" which features the largest gathering ever of talk hosts, hundreds of listeners and activists will fan out across the Capitol visiting members of Congress while thousands of listeners back home will call or meet with their representatives' district staffs.

Hold Their Feet to the Fire is the largest immigration related media event each year and is a joint production of FAIR and participating radio and television stations.

WHEN: Media Availability 9 a.m.-10 a.m. Tuesday, September 15 with event leaders Dan Stein, President of FAIR, and Roger Hedgecock of Radio America to discuss the purpose of the event and the issues involved.

Continuous Radio Row Broadcasting by 47 Talk Hosts 5 a.m.-11 p.m. Tuesday, September 15 and 16.

Credentialed Media and Press invited to any and all portions of both.

WHERE: Phoenix Park Hotel, 520 North Capitol Street, NW, Washington, D.C.
