Take a look at this list -- figure out what you should do with Senators from your state or neighbor

DEAR FRIENDS,

We need 41 Senators to vote NO on cloture next Tuesday or to not show up for the vote.

Sen. Johnson (D-S.D.) is still seriously ill and expected to be a no-show.

We believe we have solid commitments from 32 other Senators that they will vote NO on cloture that would allow the Kennedy/Bush amnesty (S. 1639) to come to the Senate floor for debate.

That would give us 33 of the 41 we need.

Congratulations to all of you who have elected Senators solidly in our camp or who have persuaded Senators to move to the anti-amnesty side -- those Senators in this list:

32 DEFINITE 'NO' ON AMNESTY CLOTURE
Many of you will find ways to express tremendous appreciation and to help solidify them so that no offer from the White House or party leadership can turn them at the last moment.

Alexander (R-Tenn.)
Allard (R-Colo.)
Baucus (D-Mont.)

Byrd (D-W.Va.)
Bunning (R-Ky.)
Chambliss (R-Ga.)

Coburn (R-Okla.)
Corker (R-Tenn.)
Cornyn (R-Texas)

Crapo (R-Idaho)
DeMint (R-S.C.)
Dole (R-N.C.)

Dorgan (D-N.D.)
Enzi (R-Wyo.)
Grassley (R-Iowa)

Hutchison (R-Texas)
Inhofe (R-Okla.)
Isakson (R-Ga.)

Landrieu (D-La.)
McCaskill (D-Mo.)
Pryor (D-Ark.)

Roberts (R-Kan.)
Rockefeller (D-W.Va.)
Sanders (I-Vt.)

Sessions (R-Ala.)
Shelby (R-Ala.)
Smith (R-Ore.)

Stabenow (D-Mich.)
Sununu (R-N.H.)
Tester (D-Mont.)

Thune (R-S.D.)
Vitter (R-La.)

12 SENATORS LEANING NO ON FINAL PASSAGE BUT PROBABLY LEANING YES ON CLOTURE (when it counts)
Please do everything you can to get to these Senators and help them understand what is at stake and where the citizens of your state stand.

Bond (R-Mo.)
Bingaman (D-N.M.)
Burr (R-N.C.)

Boxer (D-Calif.)
Cochran (R-Miss.)
Conrad (D-N.D.)

Ensign (R-Nev.)
Levin (D-Mich.)
Gregg (R-N.H.)

Nelson (D-Neb.)
Hatch (R-Utah)
Webb (D-Va.)

ALL OTHER SENATORS APPEAR TO BE PLANNING TO VOTE TO HELP PASS A BILL THAT WOULD BE:

• largest amnesty for illegal aliens in history
  
• largest increase in foreign labor in history
  
• largest expansion of social welfare programs in history (to handle the 35-40 million -- mostly low-educated, low-skilled -- foreigners who would get Green Cards over the next 20 years alone
  
  All those Senators need your constant phoning, as well. A few could still be brought to the side of American workers, students and communities and vote NO on the amnesty. And the rest need to be shown full wrath to help the others decide to stay on the side of the voters.
  
  If you have any information that indicates otherwise, let us know by sending us a message from our Help Desk page.
  
  ACTION 1: Most of you can still make phone calls to local Senators' offices for another hour or so.
  
  Get all phone numbers at:
  http://www.numbersusa.com/congressinfo/
  
  ACTION 2: Connect up with at least one or two other citizens in your area and visit one of the local Senate offices on Monday (if your Senator is not on the list of sure NO votes).
  
  You can be in e-mail contact with others in your are who also want to connect by clicking on MEMBER CONNECTION at the top of your Action Buffet corkboard.
  
  ACTION 3: Know your subject.
  
  You have plenty of talking points on your Action Buffet corkboard and on your Vote Day page.
  
  THANKS,

Where is Brownback? He never is there to vote, it seems.

[PJ-Comix]

Okay. I checked Google News and read that TODAY, Alexander switched from YES to NO on cloture. And this was due to his constituents contacting him. Good work Volunteers!!!

[Dr. Marten]

Thanks for the update on Alexander! I also contacted Mel Martinez’ office this afternoon and informed them that I would no longer be giving any financial assistance to the RNC or volunteering any of my time for any Republicans who voted in favor of Amnesty for illegals.

Ping!

If the following just in fron NRO is true, it is very good news indeed:

>>Barrasso on Amnesty [Mark Krikorian]

Good news from a reader:

During the selection process to replace Senator Thomas, Dr. Barrasso said he takes the same position as Enzi on the immigration bill and opposes amnesty. He will likely follow Enzi’s lead on this issue.

I’m surprised you got a lucid answer from Senator Feinstein’s office. I wrote to her several times, and got replies back that referred to legislation or pending legislation totally different from the subject I had written on. Gave up on even trying with her.

First time I wrote to Judd Greg (R-NH) he responded on a totally different topic. Two more letters and he's been mum. Sent a 4th message today. Asked Sununu to have a chat with his fellow sen. from NH.

[HoosierHawk]

With Mr. Byrd directing this (he knows every Senate rule ever contemplated)...

...since having been in the Senate since their conception.

I did my part today and called my two senators,Lugar and Bayh and Lugars office said he was voting against cloture and Bayhs office was unsure how he was going to vote.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

That is good news but we got to make sure he votes no on cloture as is Enzi. By the sound of things it looks like he plans to at least, which would only leave us needing 7 more to go.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

Dick Lugar said he was voting against cloture? If that’s true then things really are going our way.

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

>>Dick Lugar said he was voting against cloture? If that’s true then things really are going our way.<<

They might not get 60 YES votes the first time, but I’ll bet they will try again if they don’t. Lots of pork and arm-twisting possibilities. All we have on our side is the people.

[janetgreen]

Boxer of California voted against cloture (!) on the first try at this amnesty bill. We've been calling and faxing non-stop, but her minions won't say how she's voting this time.

Feinswine's vote definitely won't be on our side - she has sold out to the highest bidder.

Fantastic!
