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.

Just a side note... Has anyone noticed how Obama keeps walking around and making sure he is right in front of the C-SPAN camera? What a media whore.

Anyway, may this bill be relegated to the ash heap of history. If not, this country is history!!!

Yeah but Reid has said this vote will take a little longer ... they are bussing in a few new voters (illegals) from all over! So don’t be supprized at the final tally!

This is the final vote on cloture. Graham and McCain both voted ‘aye’. If they lose, the bill is dead.

The vote for cloture is underway. The Rats and traitor Republicans need 60 votes in order to end debate.

If debate is ended, a vote can be ordered on the whole existing bill.
(Not that many have even read the whole thing.)

If it fails, then Reid is throwing in the towel. (At least for now and the traitors hope to ram it through at a later point when the American people.

First round of votes, we have 31. We need 10 to kill the POS.

Saxby Chambliss spilled the beans on c-span tonight. This will NEVER DO. Please pass this along. I’ve been watching c-span 2 every day. There is a Totalization Agreement between Mexico & and the US that merges the two social security systems for dual citizens. What about ALIENS WHO ARE NOT FROM MEXICO? Why a sweet deal for Mexico when they aren't the only lawbreakers in town???

Besides, isn’t the Mexican govt corrupt? Why are we comingling our SS Trust Fund with Mexico's? To prop theirs up and to bring ours to its knees? What is this scheme for?????

This is yet another reason to make more phone calls. No totalization agreement ie. messing with our Social Security Trust Fund (such as it is). FV

This is THE vote. They need sixty votes to sell out America. If they don’t get it, we get to keep our country. It is that simple.

Jet, are you saying FOX News reports that it has collapsed? They would know, they’ve got insiders.

REPEAT: Can you confirm? Did FNC report that the bill collapsed?
