Thread: Possible Amnesty vote today! Target those facing reelection

Please include these Senators in your calls as they have not released a public position yet: Snowe, Collins, Murkowski, Brownback, & McCaskill.

And any others you can think of.

Talked with Sen. Claire McCaskill's aide this morning. Aide couldn't tell me if McCaskill supports or opposes the amnesty - "she hasn't made any press statements regarding her position" is what the aide said. I take this to mean that most likely she supports amnesty. When a senator opposes the amnesty, his aide is usually very forthright to state this position. "I don't know the senator's position" pretty much means the senator is Pro-amnesty!

I did get the web address for McCaskill's 2012 campaign: http://www.clairemccaskill.com/o/8/p/d/ ... l/website/

Has McAmnesty (McCain) put out a statement yet ? I know the Dreamers are targeting him as well as Snowe,Collins & Murkowski.

Making calls today.

Psalm 139:14

Tennessee Republican Senator Lamar Alexander's office said that he will vote "No."

Tennessee Senator Bob Corker has not released statement one way or the other. His office said that calls are about 50/50. Young people are calling in support of Dream Act. I reminded his office that he represents American citizens, not illegal aliens. They did not send him to Washington.

Contacted Senator Brownback's office. They said that he has not released his decision, but they are taking comments. I left mine.

Senator Murkowski's Washington office is just ringing.

Psalm 139:14

Got Senator Robert Casey's contact number for his 2012 election campaign: (717) 645-5100.

Here's Senator Sherrod Brown's contact number for his election campaign, also: 202-544-7708.

Could not get an answer for either of the above as to their positions on the Dream Act.

On it like a fly on stink

Finally got through to Murkowski's office. She is still reviewing the bill.

Psalm 139:14

Results of my calls so far to senators. When unable to reach DC office, I tried to call local office also.

Voting AGAINST Dream:

Wicker, Roger, R-MS - voting against

Kay Bailey Hutchison R-TX - voting against

Ben Nelson D-NE - voting against Dream and against cloture


Voting FOR Dream :

Lugar R-IN, co-sponsor of bill


No statement released, but in most cases aide thinks senator will vote against, tho we need to keep calling these senators:

Jim Webb D-VA - aide said “I think he will vote against Dream Actâ€

Also remember to tell Senators you want them to vote against cloture, Reid's attempt to prevent a filibuster by anti-Dream Republicans. Tell them we will also be monitoring their cloture vote.
