Mike Lee is saying they can pass this by restoring a talking filibuster on the floor ?

Any Senate watchers confirm this? He seems adamant.

Here are the five remaining Senate holdouts on the Save America Act as of now.

Lisa Murkowski, AK: (202) 224-6665

Dan Sullivan, AK: (202) 224-3004

Mitch McConnell, KY: (202) 224-2541

Susan Collins, ME: (202) 224-2523

Thom Tillis, NC: (202) 224-6342

Tell the teeters that they will NEVER enjoy their retirements unless they vote through passage of the SAVE Act.

It’s that critical.

Aside from Sullivan, these cats hate Trump and may be the reason the fall of our Nation is inevitable.

What is going on with Dan Sullivan?

After that, our next best bet I believe is Collins.

Good luck with McConnell, Tillis and Murky.

The usual assholes.

You should feel good that Rand is on the right side of this one (for a change). Of course he could still flip if he sees a chance for gRANDstanding.

Aren’t they going on a one week recess? Won’t this delay the Save Act to take effect before midterms?

It seems to me that if they introduce this bill to the Senate with a talking filibuster - before any government shutdown - that will put more pressure on the Democrats and make it harder for the filibuster to be successful.

In other words, if there is no urgent legislation being held up then there’s less pressure to end a talking filibuster, but if the filibuster is not only preventing a vote on the SAVE Act, but also on a vote to reopen DHS (which Includes FEMA) that is politically damaging to the Democrats and draws even greater attention to their unreasonable positions on the proof of citizenship and voter ID provisions of the act.

Thanks. I called them all. McConnell and Collins aren’t recording calls. The others had voice mail.

Fetterman will vote YES but Murkowski who ONLY got her senate seat because of her disgusting corrupt daddy giving it to her and Susan Collins who relies on illegals in Maine to vote for her will NOT be voting for this

I see that Senator Capito has signed on ... Don’t know why she was a holdout ... WV already requires identification to vote.

They will all eventually come on board for optics. They will then keep themselves tied to the filibuster rules. “Sorry our hands are tied with the filibuster”...

Let me guess the two “Republican” Senators that are against the SAVE Act.
Senators Murkowski(AK) and Collins(ME)
