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.

The SWIMMER claims the “minority” stopped this Bill etc.... I wonder if the Fat Drunk can read since 53 nays equal a simple majority. How does he get away with his lies and gross distortions- typical liberal scum I guess.

Coryn and Hutchison are on the right page in history on this..... it is a good thing some IMPORTANT Texas voters hear their own people.

So are the illegals gong to riot now, as McCain predicted?

Norm Coleman has earned a temporary reprieve from me.

Had he voted for cloture, then I was gonna contact his campaign office (today) and tell them “No more checks for the campaign and no more volunteer work!”

But, like I said above, he’s earned a temporary reprieve.

For current Americans. A 13% reduction is not worth making the 50 million already here legal.

I doubt it, but in 10-15 years their kids may very well do so!

Sen. Sessions would make a great Vice President.

Interesting idea...

Big problemo...

I called and asked when Sen sessions will be back...

the lady said he’s here now...

I asked if he was allergic to flowers ...would be awful if he was...

She said the flowers might not get through to his office...

They might not deliver them..security etc...

Someone in AL might be able to arrange somethimng there...

Neither of our Senators from Texas voted for cloture this week.

I sent both a hearty Thank You email after this monster amnesty bill went down. I also asked them to support all legislation against the invasion of America.

Did anyone mention the people should vote since their tax dollars will definitely be used? Nevermind.

What you don’t seem to understand is that this is a great victory because not all change is a good thing. The changes this bill would have brought= disaster for this country.
