DREAM Act vote SATURDAY December 18

ALERT
DREAM Act VOTE in 36 HOURS - in Saturday session at 10am - Senate votes on cloture (to start/stop debate) on DREAM ACT amnesty - 60 votes need to pass first vote - then only 51 votes to pass second vote - THIS IS REAL - ALERT

Reid filed for cloture on the DREAM act and just "filled the amendment tree" so that no amendments can be offered on the Senate floor to the DREAM Act.  Cloture vote is on Saturday early.

Here is what's probably going to happen: 
  • Cloture (start/stop debate) motion filed tonight (Thursday).
  • Vote on cloture could be as early as Saturday morning 10am.
  • 2 coted needed to pass, if it gets 60 votes in the first, then 30 hours will run before another vote. 2nd vote is on final passage - only 51 votes needed.  
  • If DREAM cloture vote fails, they move to DADT repeal (Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell) cloture vote.
I will get back to you all in the morning with an official TARGET LIST. 

Just to be clear, we have a little under 36 hours until the amnesty vote.
 

This will be the most historic Immigration vote in the last 10 years, and maybe the most historic since the 1986 Amnesty!

THANKS.

Note: Special thanks to STAND WITH ARIZONA for the graphic.
