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

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

Can I stand on your land holding up a big sign saying,"Illegal workers needed. Inquire within," with an arrow pointed towards Jorge's ranch?

She may have an amendment to propose. Needs it as political cover.

I’ll venture a guess and say that yes, you got it right. The cloture vote will be perhaps a bigger defeat than earlier.

It’s a picture of political cowardice at its best. And it’s BEAUTIFUL!
Run ye rats! Run!

They can’t just go vote, they have to have a dozen little conferences to figure out which way to go vote. These people are not serving us.

Warner voted Yes (IIRC) earlier, and just switched to No?

Warner and Webb have both voted No, both times.

Along with Kyl, Cornyn, Barbara Boxer and Trent Lott?????

It did, but not but by a couple of minutes. They would always wait for Kennedy to stagger down the floor and whisper sweet nothings to the votekeeper and then he would turn up the aisle and disappear.

Should we also thank those who first voted for cloture then when it was lost switched to a “No”. I can tell you that when they tell the folks back home it will never be told that they changed their vote.

“Bears Repeating.”

And this means we need to keep calling. They are expecting us to back off now. We can’t do that.

I hope I’m wrong, but the wind from Capitol Hill is blowing north, and I’m smelling something pretty ripe.

Toady Harry has been known to hoodwink people with his lies.
Yes, that’s what the freeper is saying.

But I heard resignation in his voice as he announced the vote. I believe he will surrender. For the moment.
