A good source for the ‘skinny’ on the Vampire Strikes Back bill...

“My source also noted that the cloture vote to end debate will be the “real” vote on the bill because if debate is closed off, the bill is sure to pass. Then, what will happen is that the votes for the bill will be counted, and a few Senators who are afraid that their election prospects will be jeopardized by a “yes” vote, will be allowed to vote against the bill. This enables those Senators to tell their constituents that they voted against the bill, but it will still allow them to collect campaign contributions from lobbyists who have a better understanding of how things work, and know that the bill couldn’t have been passed without their support. Put another way, they get to reap the rewards of supporting amnesty while telling the voters in their home states that they opposed the bill.
My source also let me know that the White House and the Senate leadership, and Trent Lott in particular, are pushing very hard for this bill.”
I don’t see my Senators in that list (NC).
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I’d be most surprised is Cornyn went for the AMNESTY Bill.....
My Sen Alexander has lots of TN people upset in varying shades....
I contacted the fifteen you listed myself, plus a few more that NumbersUSA identified may need some bolstering. Below are the Senators that NumbersUSA identified:
Burr (R-NC)
Chambliss (R-GA)
Ensign (R-NV)
Isakson (R-GA)
Thune (R-SD)
You might want to drop a line to these folks as well.
