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.

“There’s lots of support for this on the outside.”

The GOP traitors have all been revealed, as Paine described in The Crisis:

But their peculiar advantage is, that they are the touchstones of sincerity and hypocrisy, and bring things and men to light, which might otherwise have lain forever undiscovered. In fact, they have the same effect on secret traitors, which an imaginary apparition would have upon a private murderer. They sift out the hidden thoughts of man, and hold them up in public to the world. Many a disguised Tory has lately shown his head, that shall penitentially solemnize with curses the day on which Howe arrived upon the Delaware.

They will try to sneak it through somehow. Never underestimate the sheer corruption in the Democrat party.

They didn’t have a quorum. I guess they found people in the halls.

Hello,

Nope, the death (at least for now) of this horrible bill is due to the actions and concern of brave Americans. Period.

It’ll be back, but we’ll be waiting.

Kerry (MA) aye; Bill fails 45 ayes, 50 nays; Reid put forward a motion to proceed to an Energy Bill, meaning he has pulled the Immigration bill from the floor. They will now proceed to rework the bill and bring it up again as another substitute bill at a later date. Reid is now bloviating for the cameras basically saying nothing of importance. He is trying to pin the blame for failure on the Republican side and also trying to appease the AFL-CIO who were adamently opposed to the guest worker portion of the bill. Now Reid bringing up a sob stories, again pimping for the cameras. All meaningless dribble.
