I suppose some folks (on both sides) voted against cloture so they wouldn't have to have a record of their vote for or against the bill itself.

Dims have a reason to oppose the bill, if they would get the power-glaze out of their eyes (difficult to do, I know). The bill is disaster for unions and low-income workers in that an influx of slave-wage 3rd world workers will depress all those salaries.
There are a number of lib organizations who are working that angle, and as I am stuck with 2 Dim Senators that’s what I’ve been bugging them about. Please, people... if you need to harass a Dim senator about this bill, put a clothespin on your nose and get some talking points from here: http://www.cis.org/articles/2006/back206.html
Kill this bill — by any means necessary
