Atlas PUKED!!!

The Senate is once again trying to pass the much-opposed DREAM Act of 2007. Earlier this year [0] the DREAM Act (a scaled-down approach to amnesty) was added to the defense authorization bill (H.R. 1585) for Fiscal 2008 as an amendment but never reached a floor vote. Eventually the DREAM Act was pulled from the bill, but supporters of the act warned that they would try and introduce it again.
That time has now come!
The DREAM Act will likely be offered as an amendment to the Labor, Health and Human Services Appropriations bill (H.R. 3043) and could be up for a vote as soon as today, or possibly tomorrow.
Time is of the essence! Call your Senators today and urge them to oppose any form of amnesty, including the DREAM Act.
If passed, the DREAM Act would allow children who illegally entered the United States before the age of 16 to remain in the U.S. and attend a college or university, taking advantage of government benefits. The DREAM Act would place hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants on a path toward citizenship, making this an amnesty program, though not called as such by name. Furthermore, the DREAM Act would impose heavy financial burdens on the states as they would be forced to grant in-state tuition benefits to illegal immigrants.
Congress should not be allowed to reintroduce the same legislation over and over again hoping for a better outcome. Grassroots activists have already stalled this amnesty program twice — once when it was introduced as a stand-alone bill (S. 774) and once as an amendment to the defense authorization bill.
Atlas PUKED!!!
They choose to ignore the people at their own peril. keep up the pressure! Make those calls!
www.numbersusa.com has a free fax up
These morons really want their approval rating in the minus category. Their arrogance is beyond anything seen in this country throughout our history. IMO, time to vote them all out in disgrace. Meanwhile, our ancestors are turning in their graves. Keep sending those calls and emails. Apparently, the entire Congress is deaf, blind, and totally stupid!
If you can’t succeed on the DoD bill, then try Labor and Health and Human Services. These idiots just don’t get it...!!!!!!
FReepmail to be added to the Congress Watch Ping List.
The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.- Samuel Adams
sadly, they do get it... and they will keep doing it until they wear you out. You have a life... they only have an agenda.
Oh, No You Didn’t!
bumPing!
why can’t the illegals just use their REAL id’s? Mexican license are perfectly legal in California...
ARRGH!!
Guess we have to rely on the House, again.
MAN THE PHONES!!!
(You’re on the list.)
bushpesoIf they continue this; they all will be out of a job. They think we can’t take them out of their jobs. We can and we will.
The Senate is debating about children’s health on C-Span2 right now...

They may be out of a job either way. If they do what we want, their PAC money will dry up. Then they’ll lose the next election. If they continue voting for amnesty, we won’t vote for them, and they’ll lose. But the next generation of politicians will have all the votes they want, so long as amnesty does pass. So it will. Representation is long gone.
Thanks for the PING
I watched a bit of it on C-Span...
The rich...the wealthy...the rich
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
You can say that again!!
BUSH!!!
Pelosi and her Liberal cohorts think of themselves as “American Royalty.” Pelosi and the rest of the DC morons consider the American people uneducated and powerless serfs and peons.
So true. Read the comments at www.thecapitolist.com
Staffers post there and it is obvious they are mirroring what their bosses think.
We should be ashamed that we let them remain in office.
That is so true.
Is this Congress trying to bore us all into falling asleep so this will pass?
Back to the phone...
I hope it works for a great many; the idyot senators in my state would as soon hang up on me as listen to anything someone in their state tells them. They think they’re self-employed.
Hi Nic,,,
From what I hear,,,Louisiana ain’t goin’ for this krap,,,;0)
ping
Here we go again. It looks like we’re going to have to hang a traitor or two before they understand how serious we are about NO AMNESTY of any kind!
Thanks for the heads up! :o) I’ll be on the phones all this week. We’ve got to keep the pressure up. That’s the only thing those idiots understand.
Thanks very much for the ping. Thanks for posting, Politicalmom. Outstanding FReeper comments.
BUMP-TO-THE-TOP!
BUMP!!!
Stop the Serial AMNESTY!!!!!
This is being pushed also because those two illegal alien students in miami are going to have their parents deported at the end of the month.
This is just the last vestiges of the failed Amnesty attempt. Yep it might get attached to a couple of spending authorizations, but it will NEVER go forward before the 2008 election cycle.
They all want to be reelected, and know they’ll get fired if they do at this point. The public has spoken.
The House of Lords - at it again.
Amend the Constitution and restrict these self-serving s.o.b.s to 3 year terms and they will be far more receptive to the wishes of the American public.
“sadly, they do get it... and they will keep doing it until they wear you out. You have a life... they only have an agenda.”
Very well put!
Anybody know the main number to call at the Capitol switchboard?
I called my TN Sen Bob Corker and Sen Lamar Alexander this morning...
I told their staff members that I was disappointed in Lamar and Bob voting FOR the SCHIPS Bill and to back President Bush on the veto...and to vote a big fat NO on Bill 3043, the DREAM Act...
I’m so mad at them both I’m not going to the Reagan/Lincoln Day dinner on Saturday...I dont feel like listening to the same happy crappyu...I havent brought my ticket yet, but the money is goin g to the Republican Party...Ahhhh no, I’ll back an individual candidate,m thank you very much...
On a much happier note, my 28 yo daughter asked me this morning if I was still voting for FRed...she said that she wasnt happy with what was hearing about FRed, and was looking at “that Duncan Hunter guy you mentioned” and what did I think about him?....she said she liked everything about him...
Oh happy day...she and her brother joked that they were planning to re-elect TN Gov Bredesen (liberal Democrat, Clinton loving, illegal alien loving, tax loving, etc)last Nov 2006...cause their little friends were going to...
For my dau to get serious about next Nov 2007 and so early...the young people are concerned about this election, and we older folk better stop messing artound and get serious too...
And dont say we are not messing around...Rudi is still acting like he’s the Republican nominee...
In politics, there’s this thing called ‘political capital’. GWB’s political capitol on this issue has already been spent. He’s not up for a ‘re-up’, but some of the rest are and they need to understand they will have to answer to their voters.
And to top it off, they mix it with defense spending. Talk about stomping on all of our troops. That’s simply disgusting. (mini-rant off)
There’s some toll free numbers...
Heres one of them... (866) 340-9281
Somebody will have a link handy. This has no doubt been touched on, and will not stop until the end of next year. After that...we’ll see.
