Where We Stand On The Amnesty Bill

Over at Save The GOP, they have a pretty good list of where we stand on votes against cloture on the "Senate Immigration Compromise", or better known as the Amnesty Bill. According to the National Review, it looks like the cloture motion, and thus the bill's return from the dead, will be on Tuesday, and NR says we have "32 pretty solid No votes for cloture". That means that there appears to be 32 guys (and girls) on our side.

Those 32 are:
Alexander (R-Tenn.)
Allard (R-Colo.)
Baucus (D-Mont.)
Byrd (D-W.Va.)
Bunning (R-Ky.)
Chambliss (R-Ga.)
Coburn (R-Okla.)
Corker (R-Tenn.)
Cornyn (R-Texas)
Crapo (R-Idaho)
DeMint (R-S.C.)
Dole (R-N.C.)
Dorgan (D-N.D.)
Enzi (R-Wyo.)
Grassley (R-Iowa)
Hutchison (R-Texas)
Inhofe (R-Okla.)
Isakson (R-Ga.)
Landrieu (D-La.)
McCaskill (D-Mo.)
Pryor (D-Ark.)
Roberts (R-Kan.)
Rockefeller (D-W.Va.)
Sanders (I-Vt.)
Sessions (R-Ala.)
Shelby (R-Ala.)
Smith (R-Ore.)
Stabenow (D-Mich.)
Sununu (R-N.H.)
Tester (D-Mont.)
Thune (R-S.D.)
Vitter (R-La.)

NR says that there are 12 senators that lean against the bill, but lean towards yes on cloture. That, in turn, would be support for amnesty. Since these are on the fence, they just might be persuaded to join our side. Since we need eight more that the previously mentioned names, it would be good to persuade these guys and girls. Please dial those numbers, especially if these are your senators. Here are their names:
Bond (R-Mo.)
Bingaman (D-N.M.)
Burr (R-N.C.)
Boxer (D-Calif.)
Cochran (R-Miss.)
Conrad (D-N.D.)
Ensign (R-Nev.)
Levin (D-Mich.)
Gregg (R-N.H.)
Nelson (D-Neb.)
Hatch (R-Utah)
Webb (D-Va.).

As previously reported, Wyoming has a new Senator in John Barrasso. I am still unsure as to how he will vote, but my gut tells me that he will be on our side in this and he will vote no on Tuesday. Also, Senator Tim Johnson of South Dakota is still not in a good voting condition. Barring the situation where he will be brought in to vote on this (a national disgrace if this happens), that would be two more votes to our side. That means we would need at least seven of the 12 mentioned just above to go our direction. We need 41 senators to vote no on the cloture motion.

Also, word from Save The GOP says that Tom Coburn may not be able to vote, because he is recovering from surgery. Our prayers go out to Mr. Coburn for a good and speedy recovery. I have really gotten to like the man. He is a reliable patriot of America.
