Senate Democrats on Wednesday began circulating a legislative framework for immigration reform http://www.politico.com/static/PPM154_proposal.html that advocates hope will attract a Republican sponsor to replace Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and ease the way for action on both immigration and energy reform this year.

The effort is an attempt by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to get around the roadblock caused when Graham, the lone Republican sponsor on both bills, threatened to withdraw his support from both measures unless Reid agreed to table immigration this year.

“Senate Democrats were not prepared to give him that promise and they are still not,â€

Notice how these Politico reporters quote the pro-amnesty fanatic Frank Sharry, but no one from the pro-enforcement side. Typical unprofessional reporting from the MSM.

Their targets include Sen. Judd Gregg, (R-N.H.), Sen. George Voinovich (R-Ohio), and Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.), all of whom voted for immigration reform in the past.

Please call these Senators ASAP.
