When this was first up for a cloture vote, I got through to Senator Cornyn’s office without much trouble, but Senator Hutchison’s phone was jammed solid. I called Representative Sam Johnson’s office and his aide agreed to ask Sam to pass on my message to Senator Hutchison: A vote for cloture is a vote for amnesty, and won’t soon be forgotten.
Hutchison and Cornyn made it clear last week they will not vote for cloture.
