Just saw this over at MSNBC.I don't know if anyone has a Roll call account to showcase the full article,but the snippet is interesting.

Quote:

Roll Call looks at Chuck Schumer's under-the-radar stewardship of immigration reform. Schumer is "quietly trying to build a bipartisan coalition for a measure that could actually be approved next year. Schumer, the No. 3 Senate Democrat as vice chairman of the Conference, and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) have worked for months to reach an agreement on the controversial issue, and aides say just a few issues remain before the duo offers “conceptual language” for their bill. The package could be released as soon as January and taken up in the Judiciary Committee soon thereafter."

I guess this is the time to start making lists & calls but mainly to Judiciary members to give approval to what they are doing.

Yeah, this is excellent news! We have to keep those phones ringing. Starting tomorrow, the sooner the better especially to Schumer and Graham!

Great news...

I just hope the health care debate ends very soon. It's almost an internal fight among the Democratic Senators... They are hurting themselves.... Actually, they already hurt themselves as many national polls show... Maybe.... next year will be better for the Democrats and us.
