The U.S. Senate with Free Republic Input | June 28, 2007 | truthkeeper

Here we are again my friends, hopefully for the last debate thread on this particular monstrous legislation. Proceedings are supposed to begin at 9:30 a.m. EST, with the cloture vote being taken at 10:30 a.m.

On a personal note, you've all been wonderful in your passion, vigilance, and commitment to the principles on which our country was founded. If I have to be in a foxhole, I want to be in it with you guys.

Official Final Vote: Y = 46 N = 53 This bill is DEAD again! Let's keep it that way.

Happy Dance!

Lugar is a dinosaur that needs to be put out of the office he holds. As a fellow hoosier I am more ashamed by this man’s actions with every passing day.

Anyone got the votes by senator?

Great news, thank God, common sense prevails once again. :)

Elizabeth Dole (whoda thunk it?)

She's up in 2008. She's hoping we forget her chairing of the 2006 RSCC and how they worked to defeat conservatives (running ads against Laffey to they could help Lincoln Chafee). We haven't forgotten.

She can go home too. Bob gets lonely with that bottle of blue pills and her at work all day.

Now is the time to take the list of Republicans who supported amnesty at any time, especially today, and figure out which of those senators are up for re-election in 2008. Then we need to find a conservative Republican in their state to take them on in the primary. We may not beat them all but we can certainly cause them to have a very expensive primary. That will put the fear of the base in the whole lot.

Someone needs to set up a website that can track these senators and their primary opponents. A link to the opponent’s website so we can send donations would be good. We need to send the message that this is the 3rd rail of Republican politics. We must not forget. Make them pay.

RE: Flowers

I'm going to be sending flowers to my hero, Jeff Sessions this week. Might I suggest that it would be wonderful to have his D.C. office absolutely blanketed in flowers from Americans, so the senate rats can see our gratitude and respect?

(I wish I could send them to the other few REAL heroes - we all know who they are...Vitter, DeMint, etc. - but I can't afford it.)

[Miss Didi]

The American people are still in charge, is right!

[VideoDoctor]

I suggest after that we spearhead a massive effort to get the government to enforce the laws in place! We need to be just as vocal and noisy and send the message: BUILD THE FENCE!!! ENFORCE THE LAWS!!!!

An EXCELLENT idea since the momentum has been established.

[Cedric]

Let this be a lesson to all current office holders.

AND A WARNING TO ALL FUTURE CANDIDATES!!

The worst thing about these pictures is the left one, which reads:

DEFENSE COMPANIES....MARTYRDOM; THE ROAD TO IMMORTALITY

I believe they’re patches from one or more of Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

I couldn’t read the right one, however, with the plane and the tall building it must be Al Qa’eda.

[NordP]

You're right:

We need to call our Senators who voted No and Thank them.

It goes both ways.

DON'T be like the MSM...CELEBRATE GOODNESS!

[sauropod]

You’re preachin’ to the choir!
