OMB, I believe this was one of the "poison pill" amendments, HOWEVER, this horrible, devastating bill should not make it beyond cloture, so tell GRASSLEY and OBAMA they just need to kill it now and vote NO on cloture!

It can only be a "poison pill" if it passes and it never would, could it???

Allard has been a "NO" on cloture every time and voted NO on S2611 & now his office is saying he won't comment on the cloture vote! Come on Colorado--HIT him!

Collins won't commit but the aide did say she had voted no twice before on cloture, so sounds very good!

Hi Everyone!

Wow you have been working so hard!!!!!!!!!

I woke up and read the thread and all I hear is NO NO NO!
I couldn't ask for more!

Where can I go to find the most updates tally, I want to start making calls as soon as my coffee is brewed! Since I am now living Vampire hours, I am still waiting for my morning cup of coffee!

I turned C-Span on and they are running tape of yesterday. Does this mean that they have gone home for the weekend?

Sen. Judd Gregg's office: "no position" on cloture yet. Call Him!!

Here is the "official" list of amendments to the S.1639 bill. NO improvements to close the loopholes in border and national security. Clearly, those supporting this bill are NOT serious about national security.
This list comes from Univision, which claims that it got from Reid's office.

Tell these Senators we're on to their Amendment Game and deal making for amnesty!!!

****Lindsay Graham's amendment is as assinine as he is! It's already breaking the law to enter this country illegally, moron, and the consequence is supposed to be immediate deportation.

I think the only new committed NOs are Corker and Alexander--Thune's office told me he was a NO, too!

Called Byrd and Rockefeller and they are not committed to No on cloture and they voted no before. I don't think they are getting enough calls, so definitely hit them!!!!

The two senators from Maine both have not released a statement or apparently taken a position on cloture yet. Call them please:

-Susan Collins
-Olympia Snowe

Also, Sen. Tester (D-MT), although he voted no on cloture previously, apparently no position yet on if he will vote no on cloture again. Please call him too!

Warner's office sounded like he was going to vote 'yes' on cloture!
He wants to see what the final bill will look like before he decides on how to vote for it! Virginians need to call the heck out of him!!!

Okay I will work on the hold outs first.
And like MoonBeam, I am going to spend some time with my favorite Dems.
