Senate Votes to Advance Amnesty Bill

Ever on the ball, Michell Malkin obtained a copy of the bill she calls the "clay pigeon" admendment. As Captain Ed says in his latest blog entry, "Let's see whether we can outdo Congress in reading legislation."

Here is a copy of the latest iteration of the "Shamnesty Amendment" pushed before Congress by Ted Kennedy.

A run-down of who voted and how appears here.

No other issue since the 9/11 attack on our country has galvanized the nation such as has this rotten-to-the-core piece of legislative flotsam. Eighty-two percent of respondents polled in a Time Magazine SRBI Survey believe that the United States is not doing enough to keep illegals from entering this country. Eighty-five per cent of the American public is AGAINST legislation that would legitimize illegal immigration and grant amnesty to millions of aliens who flaunt our laws to invade our country. You would think that in a representative government such as that which exists in our Constitutional Republic that the vote in the Senate would be at LEAST 65% against this outrageous Amendment sponsored by Senior Teodoro Kennedy of Massachusetts. But this greviously is not the case here. The members of our Senate have long since passed from being representatives of the people who elected them to high office. The members of the Senate have instead degenerated into a self-interested, preening cabal of elitists that fancy themselves as a ruling class who can dictate to the lesser members of society what is good for them. They couldn't be more wrong on both counts!

Call your Senator and TELL THEM to strike down this proposed Amendment which one pundit has termed the "second attack on America" since 9/11.
