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.

We should start a nation petition to get McCain removed from the presidential race!

I’m going to be really pissed when Jorge tells my I’m not a good American. I’m sure I’ll miss it since I’ll be outside doing jobs ordinary Americans won’t do.

Hell, I might buy Sheehan’s land and setup a taco stand.

and hopes no one notices

LOL! Like my recurring dream I used ti have; when I forget to put my pants on. I keep pulling down my T shirt hoping no one will notice.

These individuals are apparently still non-committal about how they will vote on the final bill or could be swayed depending on votes either for or against amendments to the bill.

I don't know about the others, but Chambliss and Isakson want to sell out the country. Isakson was bragging about how he helped "craft" this bill.

That is because Sen. Reid said this would take longer than usual ... Bussing in voters ... you know!

[Netizen]

Gotta get on these ba$tard$ to start enforcing the law and to drop Fed $$$ to sanctuary cities.

Worth repeating!

[eeevil conservative]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, Landrieu is up for election next year.

I'm hoping we'll have a decent candidate to run against her. Katrina blew away a good chunk of her voter base.

[Tarpon]

Can we build the fence now ??

[tgslTakoma]

I'm beginning to think that the "Rats are changing to No, so that the sentaors that are in hiding (writing a new 400 page amendment, according to FAIR, see that story here) will have time to make the "amendment" passable.

Reid won't stick to his word, will keep it alive so that the rumored big amendment can be rammed through and a new cloture vote after that.

Just a WAG.

I think mcCain is in Iowa or N.H. He did not vote earlier today. Nor yesterday, nor last week, nor last month...

[romanesq]

Kyl was NO
“oh, brother... i guess that’s why they call it politics... this whole process is sure interesting...”

It’s face-saving cowardice at its best. The Shamnesty supporters will now all decry their reasons why they couldn’t get it through. And loudly. Least anyone remember they just tried to destroy this nation in a mere few days.

Watch the BS flow, cuz it will be piling up high!

[Plutarch]

Not a chance at prez ole Sammy boy!

Brownback is known as Amnesty Sam.

[kempster]

That will depend on what he heard behind closed doors before this vote.

[TomGuy]

Obama to Clinton: “You first.”

Clinton to Obama: “Oh no, you go first.”

Obama to Clinton: “Ladies first, please.”

Clinton to Obama: “That’s ok, you go ahead.”

etc

etc

etc

[eeevil conservative]

BUILD THE FENCE!!!!

JAIL THE EMPLYEES!!

[bnelson44]

I suspect you are right

[Red_Devil 232]

Wait! Wait! They are all swapping PORK for vote changes now!

[elizabetty]

Won’t it be great if this one loses BIGGER than it lost earlier today?

[Gondring]

Congratulations to everyone who called, faxed, emailed and screamed from the hills. We won........well, for now until the scum Reid pushes again........

Let's all be sure to follow-up on this and send our THANK YOUs to those who listened, so they won't forget us the next time around.
