<\/a><\/strong>Demand your Senators vote YES<\/strong><\/em> on the motion to proceed to debate<\/p>\n Yesterday, Senate Democrats thwarted the motion to proceed. Now the Senate is going to vote on the motion again at 2:45 pm THIS AFTERNOON!<\/strong> However, FAIR has now learned that there may be attempts to water down the House defunding provisions.<\/p>\n There is no time to waste! Call your Senators NOW!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Yesterday afternoon, Senate Democrats sent a clear message to the American people: they are choosing President Obama’s amnesty programs over funding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Senate Democrats accomplished this by unanimously voting<\/a> against the motion to proceed to debate on the House-passed DHS funding bill that defunds President Obama’s executive amnesties. In doing so, seven Democratic Senators<\/a> (joined by pro-amnesty Senator Dean Heller (R-NV)) broke their promises to oppose the executive amnesty!<\/p>\n By filibustering the Homeland Security funding bill, pro-amnesty Senators are preventing the Senate from debating, or even offering amendments to, the common sense House bill that defunds the executive amnesty. Instead, they are insisting that Congress pass a “clean” funding bill \u2014 one that funds President Obama’s executive amnesty \u2014 and are willing to stop debate until they get their way.<\/p>\n Call your Senators NOW!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Tell them:<\/p>\n Make your voice heard!
