The vote on cloture for discussion of the amnesty legislation currently before the Senate was originally scheduled for today. But Harry Reid has postponed the vote until Monday to make sure he has the sixty votes he needs to win.
Keep up the telephone bombardment. Call your own two senators. Then see the list in our previous post and call all the other senators that you have time to call.
You can contact all of the Senators’ D.C. offices by calling the toll-free switchboard at
We have the following letter from Roy Beck, President of NumbersUSA:
Reid moves Amnesty vote from WED to next MON night
Tuesday 15MAY07 9:30 p.m. EDTAll of your calls and faxes are helping to block the amnesty deal.
Senate Majority Leader Reid (D-Nev.) had insisted that he would force an amnesty vote Wednesday morning in an attempt to push everybody to come to an agreement.
But the negotiations broke down again tonight and it was clear that the amnesty vote would have lost tomorrow.
Reid says there is a lot of progress and he hopes the White House, Sen. Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Sen. Kyl (R-AZ) will agree to the details of the amnesty by next Monday night.
And Senate Minority Leader McConnell (R-KY) is saying tonight that negotiations continue tomorrow and that he is very hopeful the amnesty will come together by Monday.
So, we have our work cut out for us….
If you have a Republican senator, here’s a suggestion to get his attention. Tell him that if any Republicans support amnesty, you will never again make a political donation to any generic Republican fundraising committees. Tell him that you will, in future, give all that money to advocacy groups of your choice and to specific candidates that you endorse.
