Today is the Cloture Vote on Immigration Bill [first cloture vote fails; 2nd cloture vote fails]
7 June 2007 | Gulf War One

Posted on 06/07/2007 6:17:41 AM PDT by 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.

“Otherwise, he has never been that firm on anything else.”

He was pretty firm about Harriet Miers calling opponents ‘Sexist”.

He was pretty firm about the Dubai Ports Deal calling opponents “Racist”

‘’disrupt our fine public schools’’,,,,,,,,, ROTF! That’s a good one! LOL! I was planning on playing the part of a RAT like you said, no matter how distasteful in might be, if it will get this terrible piece of legislation shut down! By the way speaking of schools ,I have nieces and nephews struggling with college costs now. Did you all know that in researching this bill I found out that illegal aliens will get all kinds of financial breaks, help, and in some cases full tuition and costs paid by you and ME?!! THIS BILL IS AN OUTRAGE!!!

Tell the truth. Just tell them you’re opposed, and that you’ll work harder than ever to oust anyone - Republican or Democrat - who votes for Amnesty.

Manual labor is good for the soul and good for building character.

I like it that I can drive past some of my former projects and worksites of almost 30 years ago. Even if all I did was dig ditches, haul greasy concrete forms like a mule, and stand behind a pneumatic jackhammer for 8 hours a day.

Geez, how many times is Reid going to say, “I’m not trying to trick anyone....” Me thinks he doth protest too much. Can’t trust him, but I’d like to see how far I could throw him...

what are the two new amendments that Reid put in the bill? He stopped the clerk from reading them.

Received this email from US Border Watch...

CLOTURE FAILED

The first vote for cloture today has failed. Remember untill cloture is involked the entire bill can not be voted on and is effectively stalled. They will try to get cloture again later today so keep up the phone calls,faxes, and emails. The fight is far from over but preventing cloture is a nice victory in a long war to kill this amnesty bill.

In all of his years in public life, I have never seen GWB so committed on anything as he is on this immigration fiasco. Otherwise, he has never been that firm on anything else.

I know exactly what you mean. He has been 7 long years firm on this shamnesty project. Not just a few months like with sc justices or other pet projects, but 7, SEVEN long years of ramming, cramming, and force feeding us this garbage!

Thank you. I’ve read a few of the recent comments. After reading about some of the excrement oozing out of Kennedy’s facial orifice, I’m glad I’m not able to watch right now.
