Again, premium on speed getting truth ammo. to the guns; sorry if redundant; NB it worked with Kit Bond, R-MO

Here is a list of the 12 “fence-sitter” Senate contacts for EVERYONE to email regarding immigration. Many offices are putting calls straight to voicemail and they can just trash faxes (and letters take weeks to get through due to security). Hit Hill staff where they are so codependent - their Blackberries! Send email directly to staff - not just the generic Senate office mailbox. Contact their Chief of Staff, Legislative Director, and Press Secretary. Make your voice heard!!

For the Democrats, I would strongly suggest taking a pro-union/anti-illegal alien stance (i.e. “they are taking our jobs”) rather than using the conservative national security angle.

Yeah... the Open Borders Crowd wants to get amnesty through by stealth if they can't get it passed in the open. Beware!

[Aria]

This disgusting back room dealing is literally making me sick to my stomach. We need a whole new government...this one is no longer representing the citizens.

[freespirited]

I expect Jim Webb to do something similar, cause there is no way in hell his amendment is going to pass.

[deport]

Bond will vote against cloture the second time and against final passage

---

Explain to me the above....... I wasn’t aware of a 2nd cloture vote, is there one. I thought cloture brought the bill to the floor for debate, etc. within a specified time frame, 30 hrs after which debate ends and final vote occurs on passage of the bill..... Is this some different approach?

[gpapa]

Sen. Bond, a vote for the first cloture vote is the same as a vote for the Senate bill. We do not need any more smoke and mirrors like that one Senator. He knows that if the second cloture vote passes, that will lead to final passage requiring only a 51 vote majority for approval. He knows there are 50+ votes for final passage. He thus can vote no on the second cloture vote and final passage, thereby saying, incorrectly, that he opposed the bill in the first place.

[saganite]

There will be 2 cloture votes? First I’ve heard of it.

[Cacique]

STOP AMNESTY NOW!! WE CAN DO IT!!

[padre35]

A vote “no” would spare everyone the concern Senator Bond, why complicate things if you don’t support this bill..?

Oh I get it.....

[E. Pluribus Unum]

NB it worked with Kit Bond, R-MO

Does that mean Bond is no longer sitting on the fence and will vote against cloture?

I sent him an email earlier today but could not call from work.

[VOA]

bump

[Gritty]

[Plutarch]

He will then offer an amendment that has made the approved list to strip out the path of citizenship in the bill (meaning no green cards).

The tune Bond is playing:

[2ndDivisionVet]

Just say NO to Illegal Alien Amnesty!! Keep calling!! It’s NOT OVER!!
