Live Thread: Senate Amnesty Debate (CRITICAL 2ND CLOTURE VOTE TODAY!) Woo hoo!! It's DEAD!!
The U.S. Senate with Free Republic Input | June 28, 2007 | truthkeeper

Posted on 06/28/2007 6:25:57 AM PDT by truthkeeper

Here we are again my friends, hopefully for the last debate thread on this particular monstrous legislation. Proceedings are supposed to begin at 9:30 a.m. EST, with the cloture vote being taken at 10:30 a.m.

On a personal note, you've all been wonderful in your passion, vigilance, and commitment to the principles on which our country was founded. If I have to be in a foxhole, I want to be in it with you guys.

There is no doubt in my mind that Sen. Byrd despises Clinton and views him as the reason the Democrats lost in 1994 and has said that Clinton disgraced his office.

HUNTER THOMPSON

Grin. Uh, I meant that Duncan Hunter is the only candidate I've contributed to . . . it's a little late to contribute to Hunter Thompson, although he would have been a strong supporter of the 1st and 2nd Amendments . . . : )

CNN reporter says Bush “looked shaken” when he emerged from his meeting this morning and got the news.

good idea...but the balloons could also pose a problem....they could say that “anthrax” or whatever is in the balloons....We will definitely need to contact ANY office to determine what is acceptable.

There was a provision in the bill that would have allowed the 4.4 billion to be used for the Z-visas. It was all a big con job-there was never going to be a fence or any sort of enforcement.

What steps? You haven’t changed a darn thing as far as I can tell.

Look mister...if your idea of improving the situation is to throw gasoline on a fire, which is what this legislation would be akin to, then I can't help you.

And don't bother lecturing me either. I live in Southern California and live with the problem up-close-and-personal, which you DON'T.

Truthkeeper, I think you had a great idea and have probably spurred some of us to take this action. However, because of all the issues I think we all need to go solo. How about it, everyone chime in?

Shame on both of you! Obviously, you don’t “want what’s best for America.”

Time will tell that you were the one holding the fuel can. Will you be back to kill another bill two years from now when we have 30 million illegals? Just curious.

going solo looks like that’ll have to be the only way to do this. But, we can still “pool” information about what is allowed/not allowed to be delivered, and where best for that, etc.

That's probably best, but yes, thank you for the idea!!!
