Tell Your Senators to vote NO on cloture on Thursday!!
On Tuesday afternoon, the Senate voted to revive the Kyl-Kennedy amnesty bill (S. 1639) and bring it back to the floor by a vote of 64-35 (Roll Call 228). Twenty-one Senators switched their votes from the previous cloture vote, held on June 7, which failed 45-50 (Roll Call 206). The Traitorous 21 can no longer claim they oppose amnesty. Today they voted to bring it back from the dead. The only recourse they have is to vote against the second cloture motion (to end debate), which will take place Thursday. The Traitorous 21:
Bennett (R-UT)
Gregg (R-NH)
Bingaman (D-NM)
Kyl (R-AZ)
Bond (R-MO)
Lott (R-MS)
Boxer (D-CA)
McConnell (R-KY)
Brownback (R-KS)
Murkowski (R-AK)
Burr (R-NC)
Pryor (D-AR)
Coleman (R-MN)
Snowe (R-ME)
Collins (R-ME)
Stevens (R-AK)
Craig (R-ID)
Warner (R-VA)
Domenici (R-NM)
Webb (D-VA)
Ensign (R-NV)
No Senator can hide behind procedural motions and then claim innocence by voting against the bill. We won’t buy it! A vote for cloture is a vote for amnesty! Now is the time to redouble our efforts! We have one last chance to make Senators listen to us! Thursday is the day of reckoning! Get the calls, emails, faxes going into Senate offices like never before! Call talk radio! Hand out this alert at your workplace, church, school, or even on the street! This is the time to save America!
Targets: Bond, Burr, Bennett, Bingaman, Boxer, Cochran, Coleman, Conrad, Ensign, Gregg, Hatch, Levin, Nelson, Webb

I was walking past Senator Gregg and a constituent in the basement hallway of the Dirksen Senate Office building and I have to say, he was the single most rude person I have ever overheard. The constituent most innocently handed him a poem she had written urging him to vote against the pending amnesty in disguise immigration bill. He threw it back in her face and said “That’s a stupid poem.” Then got on the elevator and walked off.
I have to say, as a hill staffer, I see Senators interact with their constituents all the time and I have never ever witnessed something so rude in my life.
My sympathies go out to all the New Hampshire citizens who have to endure him as their Senator. He’s just awful.
