(October 23) Last night, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) filed to invoke cloture on S. 2205, Assistant Majority Leader Dick Durbin’s (D-Ill.) new stand-alone DREAM Act amnesty bill. The cloture vote, for which 60 YES votes are necessary to prevent a filibuster on the measure, is set for Wednesday, October 24. Reid is attempting to bring this nightmarish amnesty bill to the floor under Senate Rule XIV without it ever having been debated in committee. Click here for more background on the DREAM Act.
It is imperative that NumbersUSA members call their senators today to ask them to vote NO on cloture for S. 2205.
Call your senators today to ask them to oppose the DREAM Act: 202-224-3121.
And bound and determined to shove this down our throats!

Call, call your Senators! Kill the DREAM Act!
As an added stick and warning I said. "Isn't it fantastic that Jindal is our new Republican governor-elect?" Then said bye and hung up before she could answer.
Bump
Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) got a nice note from me.
At least I don’t have to send Kit Bond anything.
When I call, I remind them that their jobs are on the line. That this shamnesty crosses all party lines and is a direct threat to our country.
Vitter, got a nice email from me. Landrieu’s is on hold until she votes.
She voted no in June. We’ll see if she holds it together again. Many eyes here will be watching her.
Bump
Sen. Durbin (D-Ill.), Sen. Lugar (R-Ind.) and Sen. Hagel (R-Neb.) have invited Senators and their staffers to a meeting at 3 p.m. today to learn why they need to pass the DREAM Act amnesty on Wednesday.
I am getting even more ticked off. The more they push me the more I want to push back.

Senate Sets Test Vote on Immigrant Education Bill
Senate Democrats will resume the immigration debate tomorrow with an effort to call up legislation to allow some children of illegal immigrants to remain in the United States and earn legal status.
Wednesday’s vote on whether to proceed to debate on the so-called DREAM Act is a test to see if the chamber is ready to support a piecemeal approach to legalization of some of the 12 million illegal immigrants living in the United States.
The billl, sponsored by Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin, D-Ill., would allow the children of illegal immigrants who entered the United States before age 16 and lived here at least five years to gain conditional legal status and eventual citizenship if they attend college or join the military for at least two years.
A spokesman for Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., implied that the chamber should be focused on moving the unfinished fiscal 2008 spending bills instead of addressing the DREAM Act.
“It’s curious, though, now that we’re in the fourth week of the new fiscal year, and still haven’t sent a single appropriations bill to the president, why we’re setting aside the funding bills for non-emergency issues,” said McConnell spokesman Don Stewart.
Robert Menendez, D-N.J., said Wednesday’s vote will be a “litmus test” on whether the GOP will support any immigration measure. “I doubt we can do anything else on immigration, from my perspective,” Menendez said. “If we can’t make progress with children, I don’t know how the business community gets AgJobs.”
That is a separate bill legalizing the status of immigrant farm workers that some senators want to attach to a big five-year farm policy bill when it reaches the floor later this month.

Well Mr McConnell if your shitty party would not delay everything that comes to the floor the spending bills would of have been finished already... GRRR, not in the mood today...Everything is bad timing, cant attach to Dod bill bad timing, cant attach to education bill bad timing, cant bring it as a stand alone bad timing, it was under 67 degress today bad timing...Shame that some of you assholes were born on that aisle that was bad timing
Tom Guy, you are SO right on the mark! This is worse than being stuck in “Ground Hog” day (BIll Murray) - except it’s Halloween!
