Called got same response!!! Told staffer aboutr DHS and said the American people arewatching and we will not forget.

When I called McCaskill yesterday I was told she would "probably" vote no. I just called again (202) 224-6154 and the aide said that she has voted no in the past, but she hasn't released a statement.

I asked him if she is aware that DHS opposes this amendment, and he said that all info has been forwarded to her.

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D)
717 Hart Senate Office Building
(202) 224-6154; 228-6326
Kansas City: (816) 421-1639

Clocking in. Still getting a bunch of no statement or no position yet, but some also with some info. Results of calls so far:

-Bennett: no statement, but believes focus should be on Defense Department, not appropriate for Dream Act to be added to DoD bill.
-Brown: no position (thanks for heads up Zeezil)
-Cochran: no position
-Coleman: no position
-Collins: no statement
-Cornyn: no position, taking calls & listening
-Crapo: "currently not inclined to support as written..lots of calls received"
-Domenici: no statement, lots of calls against
-Hutchison: no position, but does not want Defense Bill delayed by Dream Act, wants Defense Bill passed quickly
-Sununu: no position, but has opposed similar legislation in past
-Warner: no statement

Can someone please post an updated call list? I will make another pot of coffee and start burning up the phone lines. After about my 4th cup of Java I will probably be talking 100 miles an hour like a record on fast speed. LOL

Hutchison: no position, but does not want Defense Bill delayed by Dream Act, wants Defense Bill passed quickly

What the heck does that mean Kaye... you weasel...you best vote NO

I have been trying to make some calls. Durbin, Feinstein, McCaskill, all lines are busy and voice mailbox is full!! Landreu phone just rings and rings, no answer at all.

Time to FAX these traitors again!

You patriots are wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!

Hutchison: no position, but does not want Defense Bill delayed by Dream Act, wants Defense Bill passed quickly

How can you vote for a Defence bill that has an amedment attached where the DHS has issued just this morning opposition to the DREAM Act as written because it opens the door for massive fraud in the application process and is an open invitation for the inclusion of terrorists?

Recap of some of my calls. I am experiencing some hold time and some fustrated people answering the phones:

Cochran-has not informed staff of decision.
Collins-no statement at this time.
Hutchinson-has not made up mind.
McCaskill-has not made up her mind. The gentleman I spoke to sounded really frustrated.
Sununu-decision not made but he reminded me that he has voted against similar measures in the past. I reminded him that I know Jeanne Shaheen would absolutely vote for amnesty and I really hope that he abides by what he has said in the past that is he is against amnesty.

I am faxing and E-mailing as well.
