Thread: Results of amnesty vote today

Here's the list of those that voted for and against the Vitter amendment today. The purpose of the Sen. Vitter (R-LA) amendment was to strike the amnesty provision (Z-Visa program) from the bill. A large portion of the 12-30 million illegal immigrants currently living in the United States will become legalized after President Bush signs the amnesty bill currently before the U.S. Senate. Of course that is assuming the bill makes it to Bush's desk (we need to stop it).

The Aye votes were in support of the Vitter amendment and the Nay votes against it. Now we know for sure who the amnesty supporters are!

The traitors have been flushed out! Now we know which specific Senators to dedicate the majority of our calls and faxes to. Anyone with an "Nay" before their name needs contacted tomorrow by a bunch of angry American citizens! Please, let's fill those voice mailboxes up over this Memorial Day holiday weekend.

Print the list and find a place for it next to your phone.

Well Ill be darned. Burr is going to vote for amnesty. All along he said he wouldnt. Called and left a message and will call again tomorrow.

Once again Burr shows his true colors.


Memorial Day


Remember those who gave their all

this amendment vote was to take the amnesty stuff out of the bill.
they vote to keep it in the bll

Grrrrr I see my wonderful senators are pro amnesty.

Well you sure can't trust The Texas Traitors. I called them today and left messages. They need to be run out of Texas. Call for their resignation.

Just remember, Cornyn is running in 2008. And be sure to remind his staff they will be out of a job soon!

well if you all think your sen.'s have betrayed you .... my sen not only pooped on illinois but is running for head traitor... i mean president.

Very narrowly. If these same ones vote against the bill (and since they are all saying "no" to amnesty" they *should*) then the bill won't pass if I understand it (don't they need 60 votes?)

yeah I don't trust them at all but I thought they were on board. THIS is why Hutchison's phone was off the hook all day.
