What polls, please???
>>Harris's only chance is to find an issue that really reasonates. Maybe this will be it.<<
Yes, maybe !
But it may also be to late . .
>>Harris better glom onto the illegal issue and hammer Nelso for the next 2 months. It's the issue that will give her maximum milage.<<
Yes, and if she had sponsored and passed this act late last May, it would be more effective for her to use against Nelson !
This late in the year, it probably will not make very much difference . .
Thanks for posting that, Julie.
"Congresswoman Katherine Harris stands up for our security and will never cater to foreign governments, when the safety of the American people is at stake."
Hopefully, this puts a bug nail in Nelson's political coffin.
Not too late, Marc......come over here:

Nail him to the wall on this Kathy.
Hopefully, this puts a bug nail in Nelson's political coffin.'
Oh, yeah, with you on that.
In fact, a poll showed the gap narrowing (will look for link, was sponsored by a 3 TV stations). We'll keep working here in FL to get another conservative into the Senate. With all the RINOS in there, we really need this victory.
Better yet, Julie -- that one you have with the two photos side by side.
We have a clear choice in November.
Go Katherine, Go!
VOTED for Harris in the Primaries sent her a THANK YOU FAX today based on her vote! So far she may win in November...

Below are the House's ten "Border Security Now" priorities:
More Border Fencing and Improved Surveillance Technology
Secure Fence Act: Authorizes the construction of 700 miles of reinforced fencing along the southwest border. Mandates that the Department of Homeland Security achieve operational control over the entire border through a "virtual fence" that employs cameras, ground sensors, and unmanned aerial vehicles; and provides the necessary authority to border personnel to
disable fleeing vehicles. (Passed 9/14).
Funding for Secure Border Initiative
Homeland Security Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2007:
Provides $3.98 billion for the Secure Border Initiative,
the president's plan to gain operational control of our
borders over the next 5 years. Provides $161 million for
border security technology, including aerial surveillance
and unmanned aerial vehicles.
Funding for More Border Patrol Agents
Homeland Security Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2007:
Provides $2.33 billion in funding for the United States
Border Patrol, including funds for 1,200 new border patrol
agents, to support a workforce of 13,580 agents. Also
provides $2.65 billion for Immigrations and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), including funding for an additional
1,212 ICE agents and officers, for a total of 11,500.
Catch & Return," not "Catch & Release"
Fairness in Immigration Litigation Act: Ends outdated
injunctions that prevent the effective enforcement of
immigration laws and has led to "catch and release"
policies. Gangs, such as MS-13, have exploited these
loopholes, and many criminal aliens have been released
onto our streets.
Detention and Deportation of Alien Gang Members
Alien Gang Removal Act: Prohibits alien gang members from
entering the U.S. and allows for detention and deportation
of alien gang members already within the country.
Expedited Removal of Alien Criminals
Criminal Alien Removal Act: Allows for expedited removal of
alien criminals who are not permanent residents. Currently, these aliens are placed in lengthy removal proceedings despite the fact that they are ineligible for relief.
Increase in Prosecution of Alien Smugglers
Alien Smuggler Prosecution Act: Authorizes an increase in the number of federal prosecutors for alien smuggling cases and encourages the attorney general to establish uniform guidelines for prosecution of smuggling offenses.
Criminalization of Construction and Financing
of Border Tunnels
Border Tunnel Prevention Act: Creates criminal penalties of
up to 20 years imprisonment for knowingly constructing or
financing the construction of unauthorized tunnels at the
border to stop the possible smuggling of aliens, contraband, drugs, weapons, or terrorists.
Detention of Dangerous Aliens Unable to be Deported
Dangerous Alien Detention Act: Allows for the continued
detention of dangerous aliens under orders of removal for
more than six months if they cannot be removed within the
six month timeframe. Currently the Department of Homeland
Security has no choice but to release many criminal aliens
back into our country when they cannot be removed in six months.
Reaffirm Authority of State and Local law Enforcement to
Enforce Immigration Laws
State and Local Law Enforcement Cooperation in the Enforcement of Immigration Law Act: Reaffirms the authority of state and local law enforcement to voluntarily investigate, identify, detain, and transfer to federal custody aliens in the United States in order to assist in the enforcement of immigration laws.
