Thread: William: EMERGENCY ALIPAC BOARDS MEETING NOW!

According to my count:
Burr, Bond, Domenici, Nelson will switch their cloture votes to NO. If the original 35 hold, that makes 39. We still need one more vote to switch.
According to FOX News

At least nine other senators told FOX News they are undecided or leaning toward a no vote. They include Democratic Sens. Mark Pryor, Jim Webb, Jeff Bingaman, Robert Menendez and Republican Sens. Ted Stevens, Lisa Murkowski, Pete Domenici, Judd Gregg and John Ensign.

Which means we need one of these to switch their vote for the bill to go down. This vote will be very very tight.

One Democrat who never votes against cloture, Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, also told FOX News that he will vote "no" this time."

Excellent!

But it is VITAL that everyone continues with the plan to be at Burr's offices.

We will announce this news as it is very encouraging, but everything stays on track full force all the way till the bitter end for this bill!

We stick to the plan and do not flinch in any way!

We still need a crowd at these offices to help prevent any last minute reversals or arm twisting.

Thanks for the info W. That is encouraging.

You work so hard. The Lord bless you William.

Zeezil you might want to take a look at an article posted about 15 minutes ago here: http://www.alipac.us/modules.php?name=F ... ic&t=71144

Webb and Ensign are 'undecided' -- it could be that one or both of these Senators will oppose the bill now. If you have the chance: faxes!!! emails!!!!

Absolutely correct. Just heard Tony Snow still predicting victory, and I'm sure the White House is working overtime! So we can't let up!

I am available to go to the Capitol in Austin tomorrow to wait for word on how Cornyn and Hutchison vote on cloture - not sure if anyone else will be able to come with me but i would love it if anyone could. Is there a vigil in Austin?

William, have you seen Lou Dobbs? he has been in DC and in the Gallery all week he said watching this Joke of a Senate.

Are you going to watch the vote from the Senate gallery?
