Yesterday, I published a target phone list of GOP Senators for the upcoming stand-alone vote on the DREAM Act/Illegal Alien Student Bailout.
I’ve polled Republican Senate offices and you should know that many open-borders squishes remain on the fence about this Obama/Reid down payment on blanket illegal alien amnesty. That’s right. The following GOP Senators haven’t made up their mind on whether they should oppose a bill that amounts to a 2.1 million future Democrat voter recruitment drive. Know your fence-sitters:

SEN. JOHN MCCAIN 202-224-2235; 480-897-6289 Surprise!
SEN. OLYMPIA SNOWE 202-224-5344; 207-874-0883: Staff says she “hasn’t released a statement.”
SEN. SUSAN COLLINS 202-224-2523; 207-945-0417: Staff says she “hasn’t released a public statement.”
SEN. LISA MURKOWSKI 202-224-6665; 907-271-3735: Staff says she’s “still reviewing the bill.”
SEN. SAM BROWNBACK 202-224-6521; 785-233-2503 Staff says he “hasn’t had a chance to look at it” and remains non-committal.
SEN. KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON 202-224-5922; 214-361-3500: Staff says she “hasn’t released a statement,” but will probably do so later today. UPDATE: HUTCHISON will vote AGAINST DREAM Act in its present form, says staff.
SEN. GEORGE LEMIEUX 202-224-3041; 904-398-8586: Recorded message informs callers that he’s “in a meeting.” He has yet to publicly state his position as open-borders extremists step up pressure. UPDATE: LEMIEUX IS A NO.
It is always the same suspects!
What are they waiting for?The perfect bribe or earmark?
Isn’t Lugar a solid yes?
Is there finally going to be a legitimate primary challenge against him 2012?
what about dems, especially purple/red state senators running in 2012 ?
Mancin?
Is kirk seated in time ?
Actually we’re making progress. Back during the first/big Amnesty debate Chambliss and Isakson were gung ho supporters. After conservatives administered sufficient pain to their constituent phone lines—and after Chambliss was forced into a runoff, and had to bring Palin in to campaign for him (to get conservatives back on board)—I notice they’re no longer on the list.
As I said, progress.
where are the leftist fence-sitters who are coming up for re-election in ‘12, especially the ones from red states?
Good question.
I’ll see if I can find a list somewhere.
SEN. RICHARD LUGAR, an original co-sponsor of the DREAM Act amnesty, remains a staunch supporter.

He’s one corrupt bastard.
Good article. Ought to be posted here.
thanx . . . we need to make a few more house-calls!
If you have a Democrat Senator or two it doesn’t hurt to abuse them a little too.
“Isn’t Lugar a solid yes? Is there finally going to be a legitimate primary challenge against him 2012?”
Geez, I hope so. Why has this guy been around so long?? He’s not only worthless but dangerous - also relentlessly working to completely disarm us in the name of “world peace”. This START thing is scary.
So the Senate announces an up and down on the Dream Act and Obama announces that he is pulling troops off most of the border. You suppose they’re related stories?
Just a ping and a bump to remind myself and everyone to call on this.
Also that food act
