BREAKING: 114-23, House GOP Rejects Senate Amnesty Bill
RedState ^ | 6/26/2007 | Erick

Posted on 06/26/2007 4:04:57 PM PDT by notes2005

In a just concluded House GOP Conference voted 114 to 23 to reject the Senate's Amnesty Bill.

Pelosi has now signaled that the House will start fresh on the Amnesty Bill and will not just embrace the Senate version.

It looks like, in fact, the House will . . . dare we say it . . . have committee hearings on the bill.

This man didn't serve two tours in Vietnam to vote for dissolving the country.

Support his campaign for president today!

Of course W is the one that is motivating this. Cheney needs to kick him out of the WH.

"So what? That’s 114 to 321.

The Dems want this PoS legislation passed as a REPUBLICAN Amnesty bill so they can maintain their majorities.

Pelosi said she would not bring this to the floor of the house without knowing at least 70 republicans supported it.

That is the "what"",

Thats exactly right. Even the witch knows this will kill her house majority unless they have pubbie cover.

Nancy Pelosi needs 70 GOP votes as cover. Plus, there are 50 Blue Dogs Dems against Amnesty. So a House majority is standing against the Senate. Its a shot across the upper house's bow. Its the only good news we'll get all year, since Jorge W. sure as hell won't veto Ted Kennedy's masterpiece.

I’m with you . The politicians are totally out of control, all for themselves , the public be damned . We need to clean house. We need to write to EVERY congress person and say simply ,”you vote for this bill and we’ll make sure you are out of office in a year “ . Simple and to the point/ I’m all for a Boston Tea Party type action at this point. emails and faxes are being trashed . Something more dramatic is needed. Anyone know of plans to March on Washington ?

Forget the faxes, the emails, the phone calls, the marches, etc.

The ONLY way to get their attention is to stop giving them our money. In other words, on April 15th, simply not file and not pay the friggin bastards! EFF THEM!!

V.P. Cheney is also for everything that President Bush is for 100%! What good is a President Cheney for this, soon to be, third world country?

I don’t know, I can’t imagine Cheney going nearly so nuts pushing this bill like Bush has.

We have to KEEP PAYING attention to these uneducated underachieving congressmen and senators.

They think we are ignorant. GEESH, they are the imbeciles.

You are right. Even, as dumb as she is, she isn't stupid. She knows how unpopular this bill is in the land and if the democrats pass it in the house they will hand the republicans a golden hammer.

I have contacted my house member and he assures me he will work and vote against this bill.

It really is so simple if they want true reform.

Most Americans would be inclined to show compassion to the illegals that are already here, and consider a real guest worker program, if they new that the non-stop flood at the border would be turned off.

Simply put, the vast majority of us will not support reform until the borders are secured first; anything else is a sham that provides Amnesty to those here illegal....and does not address the root issue....the border..

The Senate needs to be swept clean for the most part....maybe this will wake some people up....on both sides of the aisle...
