This story via a blogger who I won't name until he says it's all right to do so. Okay, he said it's all right -- it's Phin of Agent Bedhead, who also is the guy currently fixing this awful site. (He's really good!)
Another update: Ask for "Allie"! She's the Burr shill whose either so misinformed or mendacious as to be claiming to people that the cloture vote isn't "real." Only the vote on the bill itself -- virtually guaranteed passage! -- is the "real" vote, where Burr will probably cast a knowingly-meaningless symbolic vote against.
Douchebag-- we care not about symbolic votes. We care about the votes that matter. The cloture vote is the real vote.
By the way, if you want something that is sadly amusing.The two different people who've answered the phone at Senator Burr's office couldn't tell me his stance on Comprehensive Piece of Crap. So I'm going to send an e-mail where I've changed my voter status from Republican to Democrat and explain that I'll be submitted if he votes yes.
I kind of felt sorry for the girl on the phone, she's obviously been abused today until she actually said "I don't understand why people are so upset about it. Its not even a "real vote" yet."
This is what we're fighting against -- their belief that we're f*cking retarded. People like Burr believe -- wrongly -- they can get away with defying their constituents and paying off their corporate lobbyist contributors through this Yes to Cloture No on the Bill split-vote. They really, really think we're so uninformed that this should "count" as real opposition to the bill.
They have to be told that it does not work anymore. This is not f*cking 1965, assholes.

Like John Edwards, Richard Burr will be a one-term NC senator. NC voters want and expect representation of OUR views.
Called Sen. Burr’s office yesterday, left a message.
Just fired off an E-mail to his Chief of Staff. Polite but warning Sen. Burr that we will not forget his vote come election time.
I remember reading at the time of the campaign that he was related to Aaron Burr, but that he is descended from a brother/uncle/cousin of Aaron, not in a direct line.

His silly amendment is bullsh!te, meaning nothing! It's his excuse for a moment of glory and having it both ways, not to do anything really meaningful. It's an act of a spineless compromiser.
If he weasels on this one, he's going to be toast in his next election. I'll work to make sure of that.
I am going to call and email today and tomorrow but I can say that I really think I am wasting my time with this guy. He has made it clear that he is not serving the people.
I also moved to NC recently. Too many Liberals have moved here from the NE. Funny that they all fled the Taxation and corrupt Government of their home state, but are bent on having the same insanity flourish here in NC. Go figure.
The only yahoo here is Burr. And all of his collegues that think we are stupid enough to fall with this. They vote for cloture, we’ll tell their constituents the truth. they voted for amnesty.
Call them and reiterate we’re not yahoos and we know it’s a vote for amnesty if you haven’t.
Ingraham is doing a call in to all Senators this morning, right now whse’s on hold for Coleman. Who’s trying to avoid answering, they are playing lame music instead of picking up.
Just say NO to Illegal Alien Amnesty!! Keep calling!! It’s NOT OVER!!
