1,500 Bricks En Route to Congress to Protest Immigration Policies; Send-A-Brick Project Building Foundation for Symbolic Border Wall.

DENTON, Texas -- The Send-A-Brick Project today announced that more than 1,500 masonry bricks have been ordered from the organization's Web site as thousands of citizens begin to exercise their constitutional right to protest immigration policies. At the same time, hundreds of bricks have already been delivered to Capitol Hill, sending the message that current border policies are inadequate.

"Our goal from the start has been to deliver a powerful message from the citizens directly to Congress," said project coordinator Chris Brown. "We offer an opportunity to thoughtfully protest directly to elected officials."

The Send-A-Brick.com Web site enables visitors to send a brick through an online ordering and shipping engine that turns "clicks to bricks" in only a few minutes. The site publishes the current total of brick orders at http://send-a-brick.com/buybricks.shtml. The total as of Noon today was more than 1,568.

The Send-A-Brick Project was created by concerned citizens who wish to send a message to Congress that U.S. borders must be secured before any other action is taken on illegal immigration. Project founders believe the tide of illegal immigrants entering the United States through unsecured borders is dangerous and the country is offering an open invitation for terrorists to enter among other issues.

The Send-A-Brick Project is asking citizens to send a brick today, and tell Congress that a comprehensive border security plan must be instated immediately, including:

--A security wall along the entire southern border

--Better technology for customs and border operations

--More funding and personnel for the U.S. Border Patrol

--An overall increased security presence on our southern border.
