Senators Defy American Public but retreat on time line!
Supporters of ALIPAC,
We regret that the vote for Cloture has passed with 69 Yea votes from the Senators. They voted this way even though the 20 offices we polled reported angry Americans calling against S. 1348 by 3 to 1 against! A source in Senator Richard Burr's office in North Carolina told us their office was keeping a tally an on one sheet alone there were 200 calls against, 7 calls in favor of S. 1348.
Sellout Senators like Richard Burr and others are in for some hard lessons in the near future.
The good news is that Senator Reid has retreated on the Fast Track and has now asked for two weeks to discuss and change this bill including the week after Memorial Day weekend.
Since this bill contains so many unpopular provisions, this will hurt the effort supporting this Amnesty Bill as more information reaches the public.
Also, this bill faces another Cloture vote before it can be voted on and passed so that gives us another chance to pick up 9 votes!
Thank you to everyone that has worked so hard.
For a list of Senators that voted for or against S. 1348, we will post that information as we get it at this link.

Never look at another flag. Remember, that behind Government, there is your country, and that you belong to her as you do belong to your own mother. Stand by her as you would stand by your own mother

The other question is, if this was a vote to pass the bill would the vote be the same?

I'm in need of some education. How will the next cloture vote on this bill be different from the one that took place today?

Why a second cloture vote?

A parliamentary procedure by which debate is ended and an immediate vote is taken on the matter under discussion. Also called closure.
After cloture has been invoked, the following restrictions apply:
No more than thirty hours of debate may occur.
No Senator may speak for more than one hour.
No amendments may be moved unless they were filed on the day in between the presentation of the petition and the actual cloture vote.
All amendments must be relevant to the debate.
Certain debates on procedure are not permissible.
The presiding officer gains additional power in controlling debate.
No other matters may be considered until the question upon which cloture was invoked is disposed of.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
