THE GAME IS NOT OVER!

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

On Friday June 1st, members of the Hot Springs Minuteman project visited the offices of Senator Blanche Lincoln and Senator Mark Pryor. Joining them were members of keeparkansaslegal.com, grassfire.org, and other immigration reform activist. This is footage from that event. Despite what some in the media claim, people are still against the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill (S1348) which may be up for a vote this week! There are 10 videos in all. The image below is a link to the first video.
