The Tally: We Still Need Eight Of Twelve Wobblers To Block This Piece of Shit

Mark Krikorian rounds 'em up, using the slogan I've pushed myself, "A Yes On Cloture Is A Yes On Amnesty."

Here are the wobblers. We need two thirds of them. That's not easy. As many of them actually believe they think they can get away with the for-cloture-against-the-bill-itself sham, it would be helpful if they were informed of no uncertain terms that we all understand what yes on cloture means.

It means yes on amnesty. That simple. And we will hang that around their necks until they're hounded out of office.

Bond (R-Mo.), Bingaman (D-N.M.), Burr (R-N.C.), Boxer (D-Calif.), Cochran (R-Miss.), Conrad (D-N.D.), Ensign (R-Nev.), Levin (D-Mich.), Gregg (R-N.H.), Nelson (D-Neb.), hosta (R-Utah), Webb (D-Va.)

Don't ignore the Democrats-- they're more afraid of this bill than Republicans, who seem to subscribe to the WaPo's characterization of us as "uneducated" and "easily led."

Definitely don't ignore Burr, hosta, and Cochran. What the hell are these idiots thinking? Do they think they're indespensible men in the Senate?

Contact information again: Here.

I'd do the three minutes work needed to put the relevant information up on the site, but I'm out the door to play poker and, possibly, be menaced by a paranoid psychopath with violent tendencies.

I've got to tell that story at some point.

If you haven't yet contacted your Senators -- or Senators who aren't really your own -- do so. Grassroots agitation really has borne fruit -- once pro-amnesty Senators have been whipsawed into alignment with public sentiment. They need to be abused of the notion that while polls show great opposition to this bill, most opponents don't really care that strongly aobut it and thus they can get away with rebuking their constitutents' desires.

I'm told they really do respond to letters and phone calls -- not respond individually, by and large, but they definitely get the message when enough citizens are agitated enough to give up their usual apathy to weigh in.
