Today is the Cloture Vote on Immigration Bill [first cloture vote fails; 2nd cloture vote fails]

7 June 2007 | Gulf War One

[Gulf War One]

This is the homestretch.

Call and e-mail your senators today, Republicans and Democrats, urging them not to table debate on this critical piece of legislation.

It deserves a fair and open debate of all ramifications. To do otherwise is unamerican.

Ask them to vote "NO" on cloture.

Keep bumping this to the top.

Today is the day.

What a disgrace, an ammend to enforce existing laws failed and the repubs are just as bad as the dem

[K-oneTexas]

Agreed. DeMits’, Vitter’s, Cornyn’s and Session’s all should have passed.

McConnell said reps will not be steam rolled
and Reid is now saying, See that is what is wrong with republicans, this is playhouse 90 sillieness

[Paperdoll]

>and try to force a second cloture vote tonight.<

Right. After getting them all liquored up first.

[VU4G10]

ok, there it goes....

[IM2MAD]

BTTT

[K-oneTexas]

Agreed. Congress, or in this case the majority of the Senate, do not want existing laws enforced. They want a re-write. Sounds like a script for a movie of the week.

I’m watching C-SPAN2 and it appears they are voting right now.

My wife is watching the vote, in the next room, and I can hear her barfing.

It doesn’t appear they have enough votes to close it to me.

Webb No

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

Thanks too, Guenevere.

We played the Michael Card song, Heal Our Land, at church and used it to introduce an extended prayer time. We prayed for repentance, revival, and healing for our country. Good to hear others are praying the same thing.

[bamabound]

Hagel NO!

[Gulf War One]

Why not? Don’t you think they were liquored up when they wrote this farce?

Speaking of which, it’s lunchtime, so...

[RobFromGa]

McCaskill No
Conrad No
Lott No

[advertising guy]

[RobFromGa]

Not even close to passing.

[RobFromGa]

Cantwell Aye
Casey Aye
Stabenow No!

[Preachin']

Anyone who votes NO on the losing side of a senate bill has the option to bring it back up for reconsideration.

Lott used to do it pretty often in the 90s when he was the Senate Majority Leader.
