** CALL NOW!! DREAM ACT TO BE LIKELY CONSIDERED THIS WEEK***
Amnesty Advocates Set to Bring DREAM Act to the Floor!
Call Your Senators Now! "Hi im calling to urge the Senator to support The Dream Act that will be proposed to S. 1710: Department of Education Appropriations Act, blll this week"? This morning, we heard from reliable sources that amnesty advocates in the Senate are poised to renew their push to pass the DREAM Act. Our sources tell us that the DREAM Act will be offered as an amendment to the Labor, Health and Human Services Appropriations bill (H.R. 3043) on the Senate floor, most likely late TODAY or TOMORROW. We understand things to be moving so quickly that even Senate staffers do not have the text of the amendment! Tom Harkin (202) 224- 3254 Should be the manager of the debate for Democrats That Cochran (202) 224- 5054 Should be the manager of the debate for Republicans John Sununu (202) 224-2841 John Ensign (202) 224-6244 Jim Webb (202) 224-4024 Olympia Snowe (202) 224-5344 Jon Tester (202) 224-2644 Richard Burr (202) 224-3154 John Warner (202) 224-2023 Kay Bailey Hutchinson (202) 224-5922 Lindsey Graham (202) 224-5972 Mel Martinez (202) 224-3041 Mitch McConnell (202) 224-2541 Judd Gregg (202) 224-3324 Gordon Smith (202) 224-3753 Lott Trent (202) 224-6253 Chuck Grassley (202) 224-3744 Tim Johnson (202) 224-5842 Sam Brownback (202) 224-6521 Robert Byrd (202) 224-3954 Norm Coleman (202) 224-5641 Byron Dorgan (202) 224-2551 Pete Domenici (202) 224-6621 Max Baucus (202) 224-2651 John Cornyn (202) 224-2934 Larry Craig (202) 224-2752 Ted Stevens (202) 224-3004 George Voinovich (202) 224-3353 Jay Rockefeller (202) 224-6472 Lisa Murkowski (202) 224-6665 Mary Landrieu (202) 224-5824 Claire McCaskill (202) 224-6154 Benjamin Nelson (202) 224-6551 Jon Kyl (202) 224-4521 John Barrasso (202) - 224-6441 Olympia Snowe (202) 224-5344 Susan Collins (202) 224-2523 Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) - (202)224-2158 Majority Whip Richard Durbin (D-IL) - (202)224-9447 Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) - (202)224-3135 Minority Whip Trent Lott (R-MS) - (202)224-2708 |

Mr. REID. Mr. President, today, we are going to have morning business for an hour after Senator McConnell and I finish our brief remarks to the Senate. The time will be equally divided and controlled. Following the period of morning business, the Senate will resume consideration of the Department of Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations Act. Under an order previously entered, people have until 2:30 p.m. today to file any first-degree amendments to the bill. We are going to finish this bill perhaps not tonight, but I hope we can finish it tomorrow (TODAY, Reid said this morning, that the bill will be voted on today even if they have to stay till midnight) because we are going to move then to the Labor-HHS legislation. Tonight we are going to have a vote, and we are going to see if we can come up with an amendment to the appropriations bill we are working on. If not, there is still a judge we need to have approved, and we will do that tonight. I hope everyone understands we need to do the Labor-HHS bill. That would be the sixth bill we will have completed. We are going to start that bill as soon as we finish the bill that is before us, the Commerce, Justice, Science appropriations bill, and we are going to finish that bill this week. We have to do that. The farm bill is so important all across this country, and the markup of that bill is scheduled for next week. The reason we have to finish the Labor-HHS appropriations bill this week is the chairman of the committee the farm bill will come out of is Senator Harkin, who is also the chairman of the subcommittee that deals with Labor-HHS. So we have to finish that. I hope it does not spill into the weekend. We have talked about that several times this year and rarely have we had to do it. But we need to get that done. After this week, we will only have four work weeks before we have our Thanksgiving Day recess. We are all on line to see what we can do to work out our differences with the White House to finish our funding for this year. We need to do that, and finishing this bill will point us in that direction. Thank you, Mr. President. If anyone reads anything regarding Dream Act or what amendment it might be let us know |
