I hope our side has 40 Senators to filibuster this bill. I read somewhere that only about 30 Senators are solidly against the bill.

Any Democrats who might be convinced to join a fillibuster?

It takes 41 to vote down cloture but not 40 to filibuster. A filibuster needs just enough courage to keep someone at the lectern 24/7, to keep it from being put to vote. Senator Robert Byrd is legendary for his ramblings while stalling legislation he stood against. With C-SPAN, perhaps Senator Sessions, Senator DeMint and a few others could rotate and read the Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and McGuffey’s Reader...and actually educate some people.

REMEMBER THE ALAMO.

We’ll know what’s what this afternoon on the cloture vote.

Guys there are a handful of Senators that are key on this. Fry the lines now!

Use the Soros Shamnesty line: 1-800-417-7666.

And spread it around and get your colleagues to call.
