Thanks for your good work, at least. They need to be told that their funding is going to be cut off by former supporters.

Colman needs to lose his seat when he’s up for re-election. American people are taking names...

I politely informed the staff person that I wasn't sure that I'd be around in 2008 (financially and volunteer-wise) if the Senator votes for cloture.

You sound like a reasoned and polite person. I don't think I would have been so tempered. Unfortunately Clinton and Schumer are my representative, so I haven't bothered to call.

The cover story is that they're voting for cloture so they can add amendments.

Which is stupid because any amendments voted into the bill in order to get a few "Yay" votes now will be stripped from the bill in conference, after which there can't be a filibuster so the few votes so purchased can go back to being "Nay" votes. Lott screwed up and let the strategy slip out of his loose lips the other day.

It's a really slimy way of bending around the threatened filibuster. Sure wish Frist were as capable a weasel as Reid is. We could have gotten lots of things done.

On this matter, we would have been as well off as if Walter F. Mondale had returned to the Senate. I suspect people in MN are strongly for amnesty. They see it as part of the continuing civil rights movement identified with Minnesotans HHH, Mondale, and many others.

The amendment thing is a face-saving tactic. He wants amnesty, or at the least caved to Bush’s strong-arming. He’ll vote against the passage of the bill knowing full well it’s a lock with or without him. A vote for cloture is a vote for amnesty, don’t forget it. Remembsr this whsn he asks for your vote in 2008.

I wish he would vote against Cloture today, but the key is the Cloture vote to end debate and proceed to a final vote.

I’m a larger donor, but not a major donor.

Been finding out that our “elected” representatives rely on much larger fish and whatever the voters who actually vote them in want, or whatever they’ve promised is so much, how do I say, manure.

I’m looking for something other than democrat or republican. ENOUGH.

I am literally sick to my stomach. Brownback, Webb and Ensign voted for cloture. I didn’t see the whole vote so I don’t know what Burr did. Anyone?

I received an e-newsletter from Norm Coleman yesterday.

Snip:

I also strongly oppose amnesty for illegal aliens, and believe that any immigration legislation should start with strengthening border security and law enforcement. I sponsored, and am working hard to pass legislation that ends the practice of "Sanctuary Cities" and allow our local law enforcement to ask about immigration status during investigations. This vital legislation will also enable law enforcement officers to share that vital information with the proper federal authorities.

Your contribution of $25, $50 or even $100 at this secure link will help me continue to work for you and all Minnesotans on these issues and fight the liberal forces lined up against me. Please be sure to make your donation before the end of the second quarter on Saturday, June 30th and help demonstrate our strength to John Kerry, Al Franken, Mike Ciresi, and their liberal friends.

I e-mailed back, "I will not send money to a candidate who votes for cloture on the amnesty bill. A VOTE FOR CLOTURE IS A VOTE FOR AMNESTY."
