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.
Across from Union Station/Corner of North Capitol and Massachusetts.
