Senate betrays Americans by reviving immigration bill

The U.S. Senate today betrayed the American voter by reviving an immigration bill which promises amnesty to more than 12 million illegal aliens. Desperate for a legislative "success," the Bush Administration had put together a target list of Senators they felt could be convinced to support open borders, mass immigration, and amnesty for all.

And how did the Bush effort do in the cloture vote? The following Senators did flip flop and switch their vote, betraying America: Bennett (R-UT), Bingaman (D-NM), Bond (R-MO), Boxer (D-CA), Burr (R-NC), Collins (R-ME), Craig (R-ID), Domenici (R-NM), Ensign (R-NV), Gregg (R-NH), Kyl (R-AZ), Lott (R-MS), McConnell (R-KY), Murkowski (R-AK), Pryor (D-AR), Snowe (R-ME), Stevens (R-AK), Warner (R-VA), and Webb (D-VA). Brownback (R-KS) did not vote last time and claimed to be against the bill, but voted yes this time.

The following Senators did not vote last time but voted against cloture this time.: Barrasso (R-WY), Coburn (R-OK), Enzi (R-WY). The following Senators saw the light since the last vote, when they voted yes. This time they voted no: Bayh (D-IN), Stabenow (D-MI)

Keep calling your Senator, don’t give up. The final Senate vote is scheduled for Friday June 29. Blitz your Senators with as many emails and phone calls as possible. Also, the bill can still be killed in US House of Representatives.
