Reid invoked sneaky Rule 14 for Dream Act
Got an email from NumbersUSA:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has invoked Rule 14 on the new stand-alone DREAM Act amnesty!
That means he is setting up Senate procedure to spring the amnesty at any time without hearings or committee action. For the Majority Leader to invoke Rule 14 means that he can bring a bill to a floor without it going through the debate and markup of a committee.
Under the rule, the amnesty bill (S. 2205) can be brought up as early as Tuesday.
The rule also allows Sen. Reid to wait until our forces are distracted and bring it at any time in the future at the spur of the moment.
Time to Attack Dream Act Again
EVERY LINE I HAVE CALLED HAS BEEN OPEN!!!
Responses to Dream as stand-alone bill:
1. Alexander - "voting against S. 2205"
2. Dole - "adamantly opposes illegal alien amnesty"
3. McConnell - No
4. Shelby - "opposes S. 2205"
5. Tester - "does not plan to support S. 2205"
TX Senators, Hutchison & Cornyn will give no position as usual, and each announced earlier their willingness to consider the Dream Act as a stand-alone bill. Calls and faxes needed there, please, and ALL THE LINES ARE OPEN!
Added: the following Senators also oppose S. 2205:
1. Lott
2. Sununu
3. Thune
4. Roberts
5. Chambliss
6. Isaksson
7. Bunning
8. Burr
9. DeMint
10. Vitter
