After abandoning on Thursday night a $1.3 trillion omnibus Senate spending bill, Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid filed cloture for the DREAM Act and a stand-alone repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" - both of which are now expected to reach the Senate for final votes as early as this weekend.
Reid, faced with receding Republican support for the spending bill (not to mention threats to read it aloud in its 1,924-page entirety), turned his attention instead to two bills that liberal Democrats hope to push through in the final days of the lame duck congressional session.
The Senate is now expected to vote on debate for both the DREAM Act and a repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" on Saturday morning, and the Washington Post reports that final votes on both bills could take place as early as Sunday or Monday.
The Saturday vote on "Don't Ask" will be Senate Democrats' third attempt this year to eliminate the policy, which prohibits openly gay men and women from serving in the military, and many believe it the best - and possibly last - chance to repeal the measure before a newly Republican-heavy Congress convenes in 2011.

The “Dream” Act is really the “Nightmare” Act.
Always trust a Fascist, er, Democratic to badly misname legislation.
The “Nightmare” Act is, smoke and mirrors removed, pure and simple amnesty for illegals, to include criminal illegal aliens, plus family members.
Thus more and new votes to make the Fascists in power permanently.
I called all my Representatives today and I hope everyone else did. This is an outrage. They are trying to slip through mandated open homosexuality in military barracks, showers, and toilets. Obama and the DemRats will stop at nothing to try and weaken our military. Don’t let them get away with this travesty. Any RINO who joins Obama in this traitorous act needs to be held accountable in future elections.
The act should be entitled “Dream-Of-The-Anti-American-Losers Act”. It is a nightmare. The other act which should be entitled the “Fellate-Each-Other-In-Barracks Act” is an abomination. The asshat LIB/DIMs must be from another planet. That planet is the “I Hate Normal Americans and Hate Free America”.
Those who scream with the loudest voice and the reddest, angriest face, “Democracy NOW!” have a penchant for passing the most tyrannical legislation that is opposed by a vast majority in the darkest, most secret hours.
They’ve already taken a stand, and it’s not with American conservatives.
And right before the holidays to boot.
Self DADT.
All six US TV networks have saudi royal investors, shareholders and joint venture partners. Fox, CNN and ABC through their parent companies have a major shareholder in Saudi Prince Al Waleed. He is very very close with GE/NBC/CNBC/MSNBC. Bloomberg is allowed access to the islamic markets through Saudi Arabia and CBS/Viacom has done investing deals with them.
The American public has no clue and Fox/Murdoch/News Corp. is not our friend. They are just like the others. ALL of TV is evil.
Movies are evil, TV is evil...How about Broadway?
DREAM act DOA
Kill the “DREAM act”. It will create millions of new voters that do NOT hold the best interest of our country in mind. They are foreigners. Kill it now. Call:

Snip:
Give them quick phone calls to thank them for their intention to vote NO on the DREAM Act amnesty. And note that a key reason they are right is that DREAM provides zero enforcement to stop future millions of illegal workers from coming and taking jobs from hard-pressed Americans.

2nd PRIORITY
Pound These 3 Senators Up For Re-Election in 2012 Who Are Leaning YES on Amnesty
There is no logical political reason for these Senators to vote YES on amnesty . . . if the people of their states know what they are doing. All three of these have good tendencies in our direction on amnesty in the past. But they are acting like this amnesty is somehow different.
Your job with these Senators is to persuade their staffs that voting for an amnesty without any enforcement will definitely be a key issue in the 2012 elections during what all experts predict will be continuing high unemployment for U.S. workers.
All three of these are Democrats in states that swung heavily Republican in last month’s elections. A vote for amnesty might look like political suicide.

3rd PRIORITY
These 3 Senators Do NOT Face 2012 Re-Election But Are On The Fence And Leaning YES
All three of these have voted with us against amnesty in the past.
Tell their staffs that you don’t understand how the Senator could oppose “comprehensive immigration reform” in the past when amnesty and enforcement were wrapped together, but now they are willing to pass an amnesty with NO enforcement.

These 6 Senators Lean Strongly YES On Amnesty But Will Have To Face Voters In 2012
Most of these Democrats have had very little interest in hearing from us in the past.
But after last month’s cataclysmic results, these Senators find themselves in states where they could have a really competitive race in 2012. Thanks to all of you who phoned them today. Now, we need another round of calls telling them how much an amnesty vote Saturday will be like an albatross around their necks during the 2012 campaigns.

Broadway usually pushes the gay agenda more than the other agendas.
Speaking of B-Way - it looks like Bono and The Edge (U-2) version of Spiderman is going down in flames. Maybe they can bail out Ireland - it might be cheaper then bailing out the Spidey show turkey.
What have you heard? Dream is the worst of the 3. The House can cut off tons of money to force a repeal of DADT if they play major hardball.
Mitch McConnell has declared it DOA.

I feel like Sarah Conner on a park bench, looking at her watch, and waiting for “Judgement Day”. The event passes and she breaths a sigh of relief.
I’ll feel like her when I see on FOX news that the Dream Act fails it’s cloture vote.
Tomarrow is another day.
DREAM = Dopers Resisting Everything AMerican!
All I keep thinking about is Monty Python’s Military Snake Drill Dance.Over and over..
That Spider-Man production typifies everything that’s wrong with contemporary Broadway.
