(October 23) Last night, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) filed to invoke cloture on S. 2205, Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbins (D-Ill.) new stand-alone DREAM Act amnesty bill. The cloture vote, for which 60 YES votes are necessary to prevent a filibuster on the measure, is set for Wednesday, October 24. Reid is attempting to bring this nightmarish amnesty bill to the floor under Senate Rule XIV without it ever having been debated in committee. Click here for more background on the DREAM Act.
It is imperative that NumbersUSA members call their senators today to ask them to vote NO on cloture for S. 2205.
Call your senators today to ask them to oppose the DREAM Act: 202-224-3121.

You should count the votes on the last amnesty in June. There is some bipartisan support, but the support is much stronger on the dim side. I think that you should give the amnesty-minded Republicans hell. Ring their phones off the hook and show up for their campaign appearances. Even Grahmnesty and McPainnesty got the message!

I will be calling and calling all congress critters TRAITORS not voting NO on cloture. To vote for shamnesty is TREASON. Take names again, we need to remind all Americans, who the enemy is.

I called Landrieu's office-again. I keep bending their ear over her not stating one way or the other how she'll vote on this round. They keep assuring me that she voted 'no' in June on this. I keep telling them, 'we'll be watching how she votes this time.'
As an added stick and warning I said. "Isn't it fantastic that Jindal is our new Republican governor-elect?" Then said bye and hung up before she could answer.

I am being much more blunt.

I make my bones clear.....
and have gone so far as to tell some of these people,
I speak with in D.C., go to blazes, I will campaign full
force against all TRAITORS.

Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) got a nice note from me.
At least I don’t have to send Kit Bond anything.

I always give them my name when I call.
When I call, I remind them that their jobs are on the line. That this shamnesty crosses all party lines and is a direct threat to our country.

Good for you.....These congress critters still have to learn the lesson, often. That lesson being, these congress critters work for the American People, not a foreign government or people illegally in this nation. Some will never learn, but if these congress critters do not learn, I and many others will work to defeat them.

She voted no in June. We’ll see if she holds it together again. Many eyes here will be watching her.

I posted this during the June 2007 battle, and it still rears its ugly head again:
They need to finish off that amnesty for illegals bill and...
- wrap it in garlic,
- drive a wooden stake through its heart,
- pour salt on it,
- burn it,
- sprinkle holy water on the ashes,
- place a silver cross on the ashes,
- bury it in an unmarked grave,
and maybe it will stay dead this time.

Sen. Durbin (D-Ill.), Sen. Lugar (R-Ind.) and Sen. Hagel (R-Neb.) have invited Senators and their staffers to a meeting at 3 p.m. today to learn why they need to pass the DREAM Act amnesty on Wednesday.
I am getting even more ticked off. The more they push me the more I want to push back.

Copied from the Dream Act Portal: Senate Sets Test Vote on Immigrant Education Bill
Senate Democrats will resume the immigration debate tomorrow with an effort to call up legislation to allow some children of illegal immigrants to remain in the United States and earn legal status.
Wednesdays vote on whether to proceed to debate on the so-called DREAM Act is a test to see if the chamber is ready to support a piecemeal approach to legalization of some of the 12 million illegal immigrants living in the United States.
The billl, sponsored by Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin, D-Ill., would allow the children of illegal immigrants who entered the United States before age 16 and lived here at least five years to gain conditional legal status and eventual citizenship if they attend college or join the military for at least two years.
A spokesman for Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., implied that the chamber should be focused on moving the unfinished fiscal 2008 spending bills instead of addressing the DREAM Act.
Its curious, though, now that were in the fourth week of the new fiscal year, and still havent sent a single appropriations bill to the president, why were setting aside the funding bills for non-emergency issues, said McConnell spokesman Don Stewart.
Robert Menendez, D-N.J., said Wednesdays vote will be a litmus test on whether the GOP will support any immigration measure. I doubt we can do anything else on immigration, from my perspective, Menendez said. If we cant make progress with children, I dont know how the business community gets AgJobs.
That is a separate bill legalizing the status of immigrant farm workers that some senators want to attach to a big five-year farm policy bill when it reaches the floor later this month.

Well Mr McConnell if your shitty party would not delay everything that comes to the floor the spending bills would of have been finished already... GRRR, not in the mood today...Everything is bad timing, cant attach to Dod bill bad timing, cant attach to education bill bad timing, cant bring it as a stand alone bad timing, it was under 67 degress today bad timing...Shame that some of you assholes were born on that aisle that was bad timing

Tom Guy, you are SO right on the mark! This is worse than being stuck in “Ground Hog” day (BIll Murray) - except it’s Halloween!
