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.

Mitch McConnell (R.-Ky.),

That would be something, given that his wife is Elaine Chao, President Bush's Secretary of Labor, and one of the few Cabinet members to stay for both terms.

Sen. Hutchison is up now talking about one of her amendments. Well maybe on cloture. Sen. Coburn wanted to change her amendment ... she objected. CSPAN2 live now.

Someone just informed me that Reid pretty much acknowledged that he doesn't have the votes for cloture.

Keep the pressure on!

That’s good. When he was just up he sounded as he did ... intoning it would be the President’s failure.

Michael Steele was on the radio this morning urging people to call their representatives about this issue. Steele (former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland and now head of GoPAC) has an online petition which he'd like us to sign:
Secure Our Borders Petition

He asked for unamimous consent to delay the vote until 1700. McConnell objected.

Thus, Reid himself will vote against cloture this morning, then move to reconsider, and try to force a second cloture vote tonight.

By voicing, faxing, and e-mailing, we are having the desired effect. Pass to all of your friends - no let-up.

Tons of petitions exist on websites. Blast faxes, etc.,etc.,etc...None have done a damn bit of good. The fix is in, and if you want to make an attempt, then contact your rep directly, and to hell with signing petitions.

“If we pass this, it kills the bill,” he said.

McCain, the only thing good about the potential passage of this bill will be your realization that the Dems used you like the bitch you are.

I can assure you that the fix is not in, and this defeatist attitude is harmful.

Another important thing about today’s date:

This week we celebrate a special birthday. Monica Lewinsky turns 31.

Can you believe it? It seems like only yesterday she was crawling around

the White House on her hands and knees, and putting everything in her mouth.

They grow up so fast, don’t they?

I don’t think they even make you do that anymore. I don’t know the exact rule but I think you just have to say “do over” or something.

RE : “DeMint Amdt. No. 1197; To require health care coverage for holders of Z nonimmigrant visas”

This should have been passed. It would even the playing field for american workers paying the taxes to pay for these Zs healthcare.

It’s an insult to compete with someone (who came here illegal) who you are paying taxes for their healthcare. Besides, don’t democrats call job employer mandates ‘love’? How did they not vote for this?
