HARRY REID INVOKES RULE 14
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.
Rosemary Jenks, our NumbersUSA Director of Government Relations, says, "Generally when Rule 14 is invoked, it means the leadership intends to have a vote on the bill in fairly short order."
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.
So, we need all of you hitting up your Senators' offices all over again starting Monday with phone calls and faxes.
Besides Reid, the chief culprits in this mess are Senate Assistant Majority Leader Durbin (D-Ill.), Sen. Hagel (R-Neb.) and Sen. Lugar (R-Ind.). I hope you will feel free from anywhere in the country to let these four Senators know how you feel about their aggressive leadership to pass this amnesty.
