Immigration reform advocates in Washington state today are holding a voter registration drive, and using the opportunity to remind House leaders like Speaker Boehner and Cathy McMorris-Rodgers (their own member of Congress) that there is a demographic and electoral imperative for them to pass immigration reform.
Immigration reform supporters with OneAmerica, SEIU, and MECHA/Eastern Washington University are holding a demonstration, post-voter registration drive, using a giant stuffed duck wearing a sign that says “John Boehner: lame duck on immigration.”
The advocates are calling on Boehner and McMorris Rodgers to bring a vote on immigration reform to the House floor this year. View some of their pictures below:

Can it get up? Can it walk? All it does is squawk. Poor lame duck @SpeakerBoehner. #TimeIsNow @shawnchitnis pic.twitter.com/6aQVvSMO1Q

Panoramas aren't kind to ducks—those reg-ing to vote today won't be either if immigration reform is delayed. pic.twitter.com/jC3iAlJb0T
