….the more the public gets screwed.

First you make your calls telling your Senator to vote against the DREAM Act amendment :

Senator Coleman - 202-224-5641
Senator Klobuchar - 202-224-3244

Let your Senator know that when you told them to vote against amnesty with the last comprehensive immigration plan, you meant it! And that you’re very disappointed that they are trying to sneak it past you piecemeal now.

Once you’ve made your calls, you get to read the updates….

Durbin is up to the ol’ amnesty tricks again, taking a page out of the last amnesty failure. They tried to sneak this amnesty past us, but the public caught whiff of the stench. So instead of taking out the shit, they’ve simply relabeled it by re-drafting it as a new amendment. This time S.A. 2237 has been replaced with S.A. 2919 (link not yet available). Technically, some changes have been made, basically token concessions that allows supporters to talk it up more and make it appear as if they’ve fixed it for the better. However, it still carries so many loopholes that it is essentially the same bill.

Speaking of deceitful, while 20 Senators have publicly committed to voting against the DREAM Act amendment, a vast majority of senators, including both of our Minnesota senators, have declined to commit to anything. Privately, they tell callers whatever the caller wants to hear. As a result the Senator is still free to sell their soul for whatever legislative trinket they want.

Our own Senator Coleman is effectively standing with his finger to the breeze, trying to figure out what will benefit him politically. Since this is essentially what he did last time this issue came up, it’s hardly a surprise, but disappointing nonetheless.

Although to Coleman’s credit it’s still an improvement over Klobuchar who seems intent on ignoring the interests of her constituents, and instead intends to lay her soul on the Democratic altar.

However, she’s a Democrat. She’s supposed to be a weasel voting against the interests of her state. Coleman on the other hand….well, I’ll leave that to you to answer.
