Thread: The U.S. Senate is poised to pass Senate Bill 1 (Section 220

I wrote my Senators plus all the mentoned co-sponsors.

Will email mine, Wyden and Smith. Don't know how well they will listen, as they never seem to, but I am going to give it a try.

I have written everyone I can about this.

I called my Senators about this, and it was clear that Burr's office was VERY familiar with Section 220, so they must be getting plenty of calls and e-mails.

Johnny Isakson's office claims he is actively working against it and will introduce an amendment, but Sex Be Shameless (Saxby Chambliss) office was pretty non-committal when I spoke to them. Sex Be is also pro guest worker which irks me to no end!

Knowing the sell-out history of our illustrious Senate, I'm calling my Congressman's office next.

What gives with this?

Next time you have a C & P Preveiw first and if smiles appear check the box that says "Disable Smiles in this post"

:)

Or, go back and edit it and check "Disable Smiles in this post"

Any time there is an '8' next to a ')' you'll see this...

Unless you take biffhamer's advice and 'Disable Smilies'

The Senate is currently debating SB1 on C-SPAN.

When are they going to have this up for a vote?
