Live Thread: Senate Amnesty Debate (CRITICAL 2ND CLOTURE VOTE TODAY!) Woo hoo!! It's DEAD!!
The U.S. Senate with Free Republic Input | June 28, 2007 | truthkeeper

Posted on 06/28/2007 6:25:57 AM PDT by 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.

We need to call our Senators who voted No and Thank them. We also need to help defeat those who voted yes. And we need a list posted somewhere listing those who voted both ways.

Yeah, the folks who voted no both times especially need a thanks. I think I'll send them snail mail-their system is allegedly crashed, and they're probably sick of the sound of a ringing phone now. :-D

We can not let up. GWB and Teddy are going to try again

Yes, they will, and yes, we do.

I second that emotion he worried about his “legacy” he’s getting ready to go to where-ever-stan to watch some obsolete missiles being disarmed.

Possibly, but that 53 number is on the record and will be cited whenever this ‘Motion to Proceed” vote is referenced.

I don’t use the word “cloture” because it has become removed from the lexicon of political speech. Even the note at the bottom of the cspan2 screen does not use the word.

cspan just says “immigration bill blocked on procedural vote in senate; supporters lack votes to shut off debate.”

Too many people finally learned what ‘cloture’ actually meant, so the shell game of political speech has expunged it.

Obama has looked like he wanted to be elsewhere throughout this train wreck.

I will send you a donation for flowers for all. If you want to go to free mail I will give you my address so you can send me yours for my money. Maybe others would also like to do this. Why don’t you ask Jim if we can do it through FR mail? Let’s thank them big.

My phone rang and I had to take the call so I missed the vote count. What was it, please?

I agree whole heartedly. I donated more money in last years election to Conservative candidates than I ever gave to the RNC. We need to get rid of Murtha, almost did, and Spector was almost defeated. I think next time, they both will go down in flames.

LOL, I remember it well...hysterical. BTW, I met him once and he was a charming, sweet man.

Someone posted earlier that Bush was now going to try to stop the funding for the fence which was already mandated last year.

Can anyone clarify that? Can he do that?

"Not really - the bill would have easily passed. Several senators changed their vote once defeat of the motion was assured."

We need to know which Senators voted NO after 41 other no votes were cast!!!

If you see him, you can tell him that we had the “audacity of hope” to kill this monstrous bill.

I’d love someone to do that.
