Amnesty Kill Bill 2



June 26) Tomorrow (Tuesday, June 26), senators are scheduled to vote on a motion to invoke cloture on S. 1639, a revised version of S. 1348 supposedly containing all floor amendments already adopted. If it garners 60 votes, the motion would allow Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to bring to the floor. A “YES” vote on cloture is equivalent to a vote for amnesty.
Although approximately two dozen amendments could be considered following tomorrow’s cloture vote, NumbersUSA believes there are no circumstances under which the “compromise” could be improved enough to be worthy of support. Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) and others have made it clear that any provisions in the final bill with which they disagree will simply be stripped out during conference committee negotiations anyhow; in other words, just as this bill began in closed-door meetings, it will end in closed-door meetings.

12 SENATORS LEANING NO ON FINAL PASSAGE BUT PROBABLY LEANING YES ON CLOTURE (when it counts) U.S. Senate switchboard: (202) 224-3121

As for our Arkansas Senators, you can call them using the La Raza phone number system:
1-800-882-2005. (Spanish number) 1-800-417-7666. (English number)

1) The system will scan your phone number (or ask you to enter it) to verify your Senators.
2) The system will ask which Senator you would like to be connected to.
3) Before connecting, you will hear pro-illegal immigration message.
4) After the message, you will be connected to your Senator where you can tell them how you really feel.
5) After you are done, you can call again and connect to the other Senator's office.

On Tuesday June 26th at 10:00am, immigration activist in Arkansas will protest at the office of United States Senator Blanche Lincoln at 912 West Fourth Street in Little Rock. We will demand that Senator Lincoln vote against ending cloture on S1639. As much as I want to, I will not be able to attend.
