(October 22) Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has invoked Senate Rule XIV on S. 2205 -- Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin’s (D-Ill.) new stand-alone DREAM Act amnesty bill – which means it can be brought to the Senate floor as early as Tuesday (October 23) without ever having been considered in committee. It is imperative that NumbersUSA members contact their senators to stop S. 2205 dead in its tracks.
Sen. Reid just filed for cloture to bring AMNESTY to vote on Wednesday -- All must phone Tuesday
RED ALERT, FRIENDS!
This is not a drill. This is the real thing.
A massive amnesty for illegal aliens is probably coming up for a vote Wednesday in the Senate.
Our Capitol Hill Team just contacted me and reported that Senate Majority Leader Reid (D-Nev.) has just filed for "cloture" on S. 2205 (the DREAM Act amnesty).
If Americans don't phone Tuesday until the switchboard shuts down, it looks like we're going to have a brand new amnesty for illegal aliens coming out of the Senate later this week.
PLEASE CALL YOUR TWO SENATORS AND PLEAD THAT THEY VOTE 'NO' ON THE S. 2205 CLOTURE ON WEDNESDAY.

Sen. Reid is hell-bent on getting this amnesty through the Senate as fast as possible and before we can fully mobilize the country as happened when we defeated his Comprehensive Amnesty bill in June.
Here is something pretty amazing: After the American people overwhelmingly rose up against the big compromise in June that traded an amnesty for some mediocre extra enforcement, Sen. Reid is trying to push through an amnesty WITHOUT ANY ENFORCEMENT MEASURES!
He is using the Rule 14 that I told you about last night to avoid any committee debate, hearings or deliberations. Filing for cloture means that he can bring the amnesty up on Wednesday.
The first vote will be on whether to allow the amnesty to come to the Senate floor for full debate and eventual vote. If we can hold the YES votes below 60, we can stop the bill in its tracks. We need 41 NO votes to guarantee killing it.
You can see all the direct Capitol office phone numbers and the numbers for their offices back home at: www.numbersusa.com/congressinfo/
You must emphasize to your Senators that a YES vote on cloture will be interpreted by all of us as a vote for rewarding millions of illegal aliens with amnesty.
NO, They don’t!!!
This will be a disaster if passed. Reid is up to his dirty tricks again...CALLS will be very important today!!
*BUMP*

The TN senators must be hearing it big-time. Lamar’s line was busy (!) and Corker’s staffer told me the phone was “ringing off the hook”. 9 AM Central time.

This is insanity.
yep!!
*BUMP*
UPDATE
NumbersUSA activist army stirring things up already — Don’t let up — Amnesty vote tomorrow
AMNESTY UPDATE
Our early morning contacts with Senate staffers confirm what we told you at midnight:
Senate Majority Leader Reid (D-Nev.) is currently expected to bring the DREAM Act amnesty to a vote Wednesday morning.
Thanks to you, news of Sen. Reid’s late-night attempt to catch America off-guard with his latest amnesty maneuver is spreading across America.
You already have ordered 58,000 faxes into the Senate warning of this attempt.
And Talk Radio shows across the country are being alerted. If you have any contact with any Talk Radio or any newspaper, radio or TV journalist, please call them right now. At this moment, the NumbersUSA activist network is the only one spreading the news of Reid’s perfidy. That is a lot of responsibility that you carry.
Get this posted and picked up on every blog you know.
Most importantly, pick up a phone right now and make the call to your Senators requested in the midnight Alert (I’ve re-copied that Alert below).
Although the vote may happen tomorrow morning, the language of this particular DREAM Act amnesty is just now becoming known! No hearings, no committe discussion and, for the most part, not even any text!!!!
At first blush, we are estimating that this bill would grant amnesty to around 1.4 million illegal aliens between the age of 5 and 19, plus millions of illegal aliens who are between the age of 20 and 30. And that doesn’t even count the millions more who likely would be able to obtain amnesty through fraud.
THANKS FOR ALL YOU CAN DO THIS MORNING,
Roy Beck, NumbersUSA
Please keep calling. This is urgent. What foreign powers are controlling Reid? That man is in a frenzy.
I warned about this yesterday. Sneaky Reid is at it again! HR 5043 and S 2205. Tell your Senatesitters to vote no on both cloture votes! Thank you, Kimberly GG for posting this thread.
The internal enemies of The United States of America are not sane.
Thanks for posting, Kimberly GG. BTTT!

It took a while before somebody answered but they did answer. Just ask for your senator.
BUMP
This should be on breaking news.
