Despite the over whelming opposition of American citizens the US Senate passed a cloture vote by 64 - 35. American citizens are opposed by over 70%, so the US Senate votes in favor by over 70%. The federal government, including the US Senate and Whitehouse are 180 degrees out of sync with the citizens that they are supposed to be representing.
Most people if they are honest can not say they are surprised. Our political system is either broken or on the verge of being broken. In what is supposed to be the land of American Liberty, our country has some of the most restrictive election laws in the world today.
As a result, election by election, special interests become more embedded in both major parties, and the people are ignored more.
The Republican Party is just at much at fault on the Amnesty bill as the Democrats. The only purpose of the Amnesty is to create a "cheap labor" pool. This is simply corporate well fare at your expense.
Our Georgia Senators, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson helped write this abomination and need to know that we hold them accountable. They voted against cloture, but they DID NOT WORK TO KILL THIS BILL.
"If this bill passes you will vote against them the rest of their political career - regardless of who their opponent is."
If it is not that important to you - the citizens - then you are going to get amnesty whether you want it or not.
If they get that message - they will know that you are holding them accountable for what they created working with John McCain and Ted Kennedy.
