Thread: **FRIDAY'S BLITZ! FINAL PUSH!!! WE CAN KILL THIS BILL!**

I am going through this thread and these are the NO votes I have found so far...

Stabenow and McCaskill ( I believe they have a thread of their own stating NO to cloture.

On this Thread:

Grassley
Tester
Chambliss
Sununu


I'm still trying to go through the thread. It helps to know who is who and what is what when making these calls!

Senator Domenici NM staff said no announcement but took my name and ph# so his press secretary could call me with his decision prior to cloture vote. It would appear they think I'm a reporter and I am in a way since I'm reporting here.

Spoke to the GOP in Albuquerque about this issue and he is for amnesty since his wife is an immigrant and "she isn't bothered by it." I said my immigrant family member did it right and that "she is very bothered." This is the land of manana.

thanks for the post, rattler. Sounds like you have a way with the staff! Keep it up!!! Tomorrow is critical!

AMNESTY IS GOING DOWN ON CLOTURE!!!!

I think I'm just naturally Bossy (firstborn affliction) but thank you. I'm on it.

Lamar Alexander (Tennessee)
Robert Bennett (Utah)
Saxby Chambliss (Georgia)
Thad Cochran (Mississippi);
Norm Coleman (Minnesota)
Susan Collins (Maine)
Larry Craig (Idaho)
Pete Domenici (New Mexico)
Judd Gregg (New Hampshire)
Orrin Hatch (Utah)
Kay Bailey Hutchison (Texas)
Johnny Isakson (Georgia)
Jon Kyl (Arizona)
Trent Lott (Mississippi)
Mitch McConnell (Kentucky.)
Lisa Murkowski (Alaska)
Olympia Snowe (Maine)
Ted Stevens (Alaska)
John Warner (Virginia)

These lawmakers will likely decide the fate of the amnesty bill in the Senate.

Craig is still undecided, thats because he is a idiot Have you had a great day?

Last time I talked to Craig office, he was a yes on cloture and a yes on the bill--this is actually good news!!!

Great day??? I'll have a great day when this bill is as dead as a doornail!!! Whatever that means???

Actually, I did have fun today--I was an old-fashioned Democrat asking why my party had abandoned working Americans. I got thru to Reid's office and gave them an earful!!!!

Landrieu, Stabenow, Dorgan all NOs

Kate,
You read my mind! Just going to ask you!

I am sending zogby and Gallup polls out to the MSM.
So far have sent to All at MSNBC and Lou Dobbs. I am working on FOX news next.

Make sure to mention the poll numbers in your calls!

Right now we have 22 NO's. Someone said Ensign was a no but I'm not too sure about that one. I'm making a list for tomorrow--Dem and Repub.
