Entry: Immigration Cloture Vote Tomorrow -- Monday, June 25, 2007
Here's the latest I [Kirkorian]have, from Numbers USA. Since Tuesday's cloture motion (to bring the amnesty back up for debate) needs 60 votes to succeed, .... 41 senators either have to vote No or just be absent. There are 32 pretty solid No votes ...
The following 12 senators are leaning against the bill itself but so far are leaning toward the cloture motion — which means, in reality, that they would be helping pass the amnesty, because if the bill comes to a final vote, it will pass. These are the Senators whose decisions will likely determine whether the amnesty passes or not: Bond (R-Mo.), Bingaman (D-N.M.), Burr (R-N.C.), Boxer (D-Calif.), Cochran (R-Miss.), Conrad (D-N.D.), Ensign (R-Nev.), Levin (D-Mich.), Gregg (R-N.H.), Nelson (D-Neb.), Hatch (R-Utah), Webb (D-Va.).
Gull June 25, 2007 03:18 PM PDT I've reached almost all of the 12 plus a few others .... What I expended in free cell minutes and a personal plea to vote NO on all items related to the current immigration bill are small compared with what the amnesty-shamnesty will cost our nation if it passes.
DO YOUR PART, PLEASE.
