Thread: We did it before! Let's do it again TODAY!

I appreciate everyone posting the historical information on these Senators but WHAT WE NEED RIGHT AWAY IS ACTUAL REAL TIME CONFIRMATION ON WHERE THESE SENATORS STAND ON THIS BILL.

Please call, ascertain, and post your findings quickly.

W

Burr's office said they were against it on Friday but today they say he has NO POSITION ON THAT.

W

Crapo's office says crapo believes we need the ag workers in Idaho but not sure if this is the way to go about it, said they will know more tonight

Chambliss....opposes

Craig...well what can I say, hopeless and since it is partly his bill and he is leaving this year he really doesn't give a damn.

Sen. David Vitter's Position

Sen. Dorgan's office told me not sure of his position now, but opposed in committee last week.

I just called Webb and Warner of Virginia. I was told that neither has issued a statement.

p.s. the phone rang forever in Webb's office. Good sign???

Senator John Ensign NV

Currently no position stated.

Staffer said it's unknown at this time if there will be one or two votes--
the AgJob amendment may stay attached to the war funding bill so there would be one vote.
The AgJob amendment may be separated from the Iraq War Funding Bill so there would be two separate votes--one of war funding and one on the AgJob amendment.

Senator Ensign won't commit until he knows how the AgJob is presented.

I also stated I opposed the $1.6 billion Mexican anti-drug aid package--Merida Initiative. The Mexican government is too corrupt.

I spoke with Sessions office this morning. I asked if there was going to be an amendment and if so what is the number. They said, they weren't quite sure how they would approach it yet but to keep an eye on it.

Absolute outrage reserve for these - they have either sponsored current legislation and/or have 'flip-flopped' with recent history on important amnesty legislation (7 back-stabbers):

CA: Feinstein
ID: Craig
AK: Stevens
MO: Bond
NM: Domenici
PA: Specter
UT: Bennett


These people need to hear your 'No Amnesty' message loud and clear (about 29; they either are not very solid/have shown some ability to waver on the subject, or just need more reinforcement):

AK: Murkowski
AR: Pryor
AZ: Kyl
IN: Bayh
KY: McConnell
LA: Landrieu,
ME: Snowe, Collins
MI: Stabenow
MN: Coleman
MS: Wicker
NC: Burr
NE: Nelson
NH: Gregg,
NJ: Lautenberg
NM: Bingaman,
NV: Ensign
OH: Voinivich, Brown
OR: Smith
SC: Graham,
TN: Alexander,
TX: Cornyn, Hutchison
UT: Hatch,
VA: Webb, Warner
VT: Sanders
WV: Rockefeller, Byrd


Gentle and friendly reminders for their strong
anti-amnesty record. Encourage them to continue solid record (about 23):

The 'Good Guys' -

AL: Sessions, Shelby
CO: Allard
IA: Grassley
ID: Crapo
GA: Chambliss, Isakson
KS: Roberts
KY: Bunning
LA: Vitter
MO: McCaskill
MS: Cochran
MT: Tester
NC: Dole
ND: Dorgan
NH: Sununu
OK: Coburn, Inhofe
SC: DeMint
SD: Thune
TN: Corker
WY: Barrasso, Enzi

Here's the basic math:

7+30+22=59. 59>51 (A basic majority of 100 senators).

You convince everyone of those senators above NOT to support this current Amnesty legislation, and we win.

In the end, expect a couple of the current 'opposed' will defect and go to the other side, and expect a vice versa too. Hopefully, those fence-jumpers will turn into 'a wash' and even out in the end.

OK, now I'm done fine-tuning the lists. I'm done, and I'm sticking with it.

SALAZAR of COLORADO, needs to be added to the ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE LIST!!!! The man makes my blood boil! HE is ALWAYS FOR AMNESTY!!!
