Sources: Amnesty Has Enough Votes For Cloture

I didn't read deep enough into the article I quoted. Allah did:

With the GOP votes in hand and a finite list of amendments to be offered by 11 Democratic and 11 Republican senators, Democratic sources said Reid is now determined to see whether the legislation can survive the amendment process intact. If it does, the Senate could vote on final passage of the bill by next Friday, Democratic sources said.

GOP sources tell FOX News that the new bill has enough support from Republicans for Reid to prevail on a procedural vote to get the bill to final passage.

At your peril.

A few phone numbers to dial, via Michelle:

+ + Call to Action #1 -- Call these Senators and say you oppose this "Amendments for Amnesty" deal

Mention you know that anyone voting for cloture is effectively voting for passage of the bill, and that you -- and everyone you know -- will be quite aware that claims that a Senator "voted against the bill" are lies if he also voted for cloture.

The Special Hotline For Non-Americans Who Are Better Than Us! There's a special line set up for amensty supporters (including, of course, Spanish-language help!) to bypass the normal difficulties associated with calling a Senator.

Here's the number: 1-800-417-7666

Michelle Malkin suggests you use it to tell your Senator he's cutting his political throat if he dares vote for closure.

Unbelievable. They don't even have to "wait in line" when calling Senators who represent a country other than their own.

But we, of course, do have to wait in line.
