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.

[Travis McGee]

Keep it bumped!

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

FILIBUSTER PRAYERS UP.

God bless and encourage the courageous and honorable among those less so.

[TheRobb7]

QUANTUM BUMP!

[K-oneTexas]

Do we know the time? Late last evening Durban offered to move the vote to 4PM. But it was objected to by Cornyn, I believe, as no assurance were given to get all pending bills, even those filed but not “up” (I forget his word) before voting.

BUMP

Please contact your senators and congressmen and provide feedback. www.congress.org allows you to send emails; Numbers USA has some great info too. Call/email/fax them if you oppose this travesty of a bill.

If you have positive feedback, please call them and thank them. I just called Sen. Sessions’ DC office and conveyed my gratitude. I also told the lady that I’ll contribute to Sen. Sessions’ campaign fund in the future.
