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.

“Remind them daily that we are coming after them.”

McCain’s bee-och Graham is one of the courageous quislings looking for a new career.

The ones who served in the military were legal immigrants. Illegal immigrants are prohibited from serving.

Arlen Spectator is so ashamed that millions saw this on c-span. Thank God for c-span so we can see what the bounders are up to.

You're right. It is comatose, but it still has a pulse.

Kennedy bemoans "exploitation" of the illegals. But that is exactly why he was trying to pass this abomination: so he and the other rich white Democrats could exploit them. For votes.

What are Americans thinking, Sen. Specter? They're thinking:

KILL THIS BILL!

Specter has a “single visa theory” to sell you.

Arlen Sphincter is wondering what Americans watching are thinking about the evening's happenings.

This American is taking note of the RINOs who sided with the illegal aliens against me and my family.

Senator Spincter, you need to retire before you are defeated, over this abomination.

Specter “UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS” is Newspeak for illegal aliens.

You have that wrong, the first cloture vote failed 32 ayes to 66 nays; the second cloture vote failed 45 ayes to 50 nays. It is worthless to watch any more of this dribble. Reid promised they will continue to work off the floor to gain more support, meaning the group of 12 will continue to rework the bill to get it passed. It is not over yet by a long shot. Continue the calls, faxes and emails going to Senators to keep the heat on.
