Senate Betrays American People on Amnesty Bill
by Charles Coughlin
After being besieged by voters for over a month, most of whom were angrily demanding that the treasonous Immigration-Amnesty Bill be killed, the Senate has voted 66 to 34 to resume debate on the bill –arrogantly defying the will of the American people. We needed 41 votes to lock up the bill, but not enough Senators were willing to listen to the people and kill it immediately. A large-scale coordinated effort led by Internet patriots and some talk radio hosts rallied people to fight the Amnesty Bill. The Senate however is used to selling us out. Many of the Senators who betrayed America in the 1990s, voting for NAFTA and GATT, are still occupying the same office they held back then. We need to vote out the traitors in the Senate before the Senate will represent our interests.
Senator Trent Lott remarked that Senators would just have to “deal with” talk radio and the anti-Amnesty movement. To him, talk radio and patriotic Americans are the problem, not the Amnesty Bill. Some patriots on the Internet have nick-named him “Vacant Lott” for his total disregard for voters.
Before sounding too gloomy, the House of Representatives has announced their opposition to the Senate Amnesty Bill. They introduced their own Immigration Reform Bill last week –a bill which announces up front that no illegal aliens will get an amnesty. To further emphasize their opposition, the House did a “test vote” today against the Senate Immigration Bill. The House Republicans voted 114 to 23 against the Senate Amnesty Bill. The vote went five-to-one against the Amnesty Bill, it’s a safe bet that the House will pronounce this bill “dead on arrival.” (more…)
