IMMIGRATION: SENATE CLOTURE VOTE THIS AFTERNOON
situation awareness | June 11,2013 | self

Posted on 06/11/2013 6:59:52 AM PDT by Wings-n-Wind

After sending a subtantial volume of email in last few weeks to Sens. Chambliss and Isakson, I was unable to get through on any of their phone comment/contact lines this morning. And I will keep trying.

I hope this means we are frying the phone lines in opposition to the cloture vote on S.B. 744 early this afternoon.

Today is the day when your activism and loud(er) voice can make the difference. Please take a moment... Spend a dime.

The numbers don't lie. I suspect these 'pub sellouts don't even realize the implications of adding millions to the underclass.

I think they do know the implications. They want Big Government and they want Big Business. They want a ruling class and they want to be part of it.

Didn't Sarah Palin say she is pro-market, not pro-business?

i got through to Isackson’s office and the poor staffer I spoke with couldn’t tell me what Isackson’s position was on this issue other than he wanted border security and was opposed to amnesty.

For PRISM, I approved this message.

Add Cornyn to the list of GOPers voting yes to amnesty.

By every means necessary, "congress" is going to ram this amnesty through. DC has wasted so much of our money and our entitlement programs are running on fumes.
You better believe DC congress-critters see this amnesty as putting millions on the tax roll (i.e., a new population to fleece). This is nothing more than government trying to sustain ITSELF by introducing new tax payers. It will fail and we will be in worse shape but that won't matter, DC will still be sitting pretty and that is all that counts to those elitist a-holes.

Those GOP-e turncoats must’ve done some extensive internal polling and have come to the conclusion conservatives can’t muster the votes to turn them out via primary.

But oh, how they’ll proclaim their conservative “cred” when election time rolls around...

A pox on all of them.

That quote is on my homepage here on FR, and it perfectly describes what has been happening here in the US for the past three decades.

There are commies inside the wire, and they’re on both sides of the aisle.

“I think some public demonstrations are in order.”

Didn't you hear? Peaceful protests in support of the Consititution and all things American require the submission of emails, websites, handouts, prior speeches, current and former friends as well. Then MAYBE the Tea Party folks can petition the government - eventually.

The occupy crowd, on the other hand, gets carte blanche.

This is 0bamaCare de ja vu, all over again.

DING DING DING!

We noted the same phenomena when Roberts sold out on the validity of 0dingaCare. There always seem to be just enough Trojan Horse Vichy Republicans to vote along with Dems in betraying the USCON while "fundamentally transforming" the USA into a vassal state of the UN.

An outbreak of effigy whippings/hangings/burnings.

Put the thing on a trailer and drive around town with it. Shouldn’t have any problem, well except for the burning.

I don’t think they know what they’re doing.

What difference does it make?

Blackmail (NSA) is a powerful tool. Add to that bribes/pay offs, by special interest groups.

ANY GOP voting YES on this is complicit in the destruction of the party AND the nation.

Love of $$ trumps love of country.
