>>If less than 20 support it, and 40 are not even ready to commit, how do they have a deal?<<

These swindlers have intentionally delayed allowing anyone to see the bill until well into the weekend before a Monday cloture vote. McConnell does not seem to have the courage to prepare a filibuster, even if they don't get 60 votes today.

But suppose there were only 59 votes for it today. Do we then lose the right to filibuster this bill forever? If they amend it, can another cloture vote occur?

Are you paying attention? Johnny boy and Chambliss are both making noises about supporting the immigration bill.

a result of the fact that the deal was written in secret by a dozen senators, La Raza and the Bush administration.

There. Fixed it!

Free faxing with no credit card registration is available at www.numbers.com.

At this point they recommend that phone calls be made. Today is the big day that the secret shamnesty advocates attempt to shove this to the Senate floor and down our throats.

This is completely against the concept of our Republic, in action and deed.

I also have heard that Pelosi will not bring this monster to the floor unless she has at least 60 to 70 reps on board. Call you representative today to start turning up the heat.

yeah, it was never much of a campaign to begin with. Maybe he can run for president in Mexico, or somewhere in So. America.

Very good news, but we need to keep up the pressure. The pols need to know that amnesty is the real third rail of politics.

Amazing how we were led to believe at the President’s news announcement (it wasn’t a press conference, thats for sure) that this senate deal was a done deal...

I’m not buying into anything till the portly lady sings...

I don’t believe anyone in this deal...

I can't get through to the switchboard to leave Bush a message...

...they put me on hold...and hold...and hold...

..and then gave me another number to punch, and when I did, was told the mailbox was full!

I got through to Martinez office...

We should no longer be talking of a “fence” along the border.

We need a fence around the DC Beltway...

Sargeant, you might enjoy visiting RightMichigan.com. There is a punk on there that calls itself Novidemocrat that is quite entertaining. Check it out.
