Also called Sen. Kyl's office. He is not committed at this point on whether to vote yes or no on cloture. Call Kyl at 202-224-4521 and tell him to vote NO on cloture.

Both of these senators deeply oppose this bill. So what’s up with their positions on cloture?

Tried to call the number you gave in your thread. BUSY.
Three times I tried - busy. So I got through to the 800 number in WS and the lady tallied me down for a big NO. She said she could not take my name because they were getting so many calls. She hung up without waiting for me to say anything further.

don't waste your time. They do what ever they want. Votes are bought and paid for where necessary. The notion that they represent their constituents is naive

Not that Burr is anything to write home about, but I think this is most likely misinformation from a confused staffer.

cloture - The only procedure by which the Senate can vote to place a time limit on consideration of a bill or other matter, and thereby overcome a filibuster. Under the cloture rule (Rule XXII), the Senate may limit consideration of a pending matter to 30 additional hours, but only by vote of three-fifths of the full Senate, normally 60 votes.

People are missing the most important and fundamental point. The cost is irrelevant. Any version of federal health care is unconstitutional on its face since Article 1 Section 8 does not expressly grant Congress the power to regulate health care. This is the point people should be addressing with their politicians.

I contacted Bob Bennett's office. A staffer reports he is against cloture and further claimed it is an erroneous rumor that was reported on a Wisconsin radio station but later was corrected. Please spread the word.
Burr's office has not taken a position on cloture. I was sent to Kyl's voice mail. I will try his office again a little later.

Final vote for cloture: 47 Yea, 53 Nay; Burr was among the Nays.
Looks like the hyperventilators were wrong.

Again we see the perfidy of the Republican Party, and particularly the dire future of NC.
