Politics – On a 17-12 vote this afternoon, the Senate Appropriations Committee added Sen. Feinstein's ag amnesty to the Iraq supplemental spending bill. This bill could come up for a vote before the full Senate tomorrow.
I have spent lots of time today on numbers.com sending E mails, If enough folks would do the same this fiasco might be nipped in bud. And next election VOTE FOR NO INCUMBENTS. Get them the hell out of DC before they get filthy rich on your tax money......
I hope you have luck with this and manage to get it stopped, the one thing that I think that has to change down there is the adding of items to bills, I don't follow things to close but it seems that nearly every bill gets things added to them, to me this just doesn't seem right.
It's not right like you said canadianrancher57, but come to think of it when has US politicians done the right thing for the American people? Realizer has the right idea vote them all out, vote for NO incumbents. This years candidates is pretty pathetic. I have heard more people say they do not care for any of the 3 and this election year will be voting against rather than for anyone.
"I don't follow things to close but it seems that nearly every bill gets things added to them, to me this just doesn't seem right."
That's why some people like myself favor the president some day having "line item veto" power so he can sign a bill but veto stupid amendments and provisions. Lots of governors have line item veto power.
Thanks for the heads up, Red. I called my two senators who will most likely ignore my call as usual. I think one of my senators must have given Hillary that story about duck hunting. For years every time I would write to her about a 2nd Amendment subject she would send back a letter detailing how she supported the 2nd Amendment because of her memories of duck hunting with her father. I finally wrote to her that I was tired of the duck hunting story and the 2nd Amendment wasn't about duck hunting. It worked, I never again received a return letter from her mentioning duck hunting again. I guess she read it. lol
think about this,
Senator Feinstein owns many farms and vineyards, she also owns resturants. All of which use illegal immigrants.
Now if she can't get some sort of amnesty bill passed,she stands to have to pay her employees more and carry insurance on them. Senator Kennedy has hired illegals before, remember him getting in trouble because he didn't pay social security on his maids? The picture is most of these senators who want amnesty, own farms ,they get millions every year in subsities from taxpayers and the pay cheap for wages to the illegals. They know how to use the system.
I suggest you call them and tell them that Come election time, You may not vote for the person running against them but that you can Campaign against them........ This worked for me this last year. They need to be reminded they work for us, the citizens. We are not their employees...They forget this sometimes, Just remind them.

They tacked this on to a bill trying to sneak it in just like they did last year with the Dream act.
