Democrats Can Say Goodbye To DREAM Act In Lame Duck Session

Harry Reid and far left Democratic politicians are planning to schedule a vote on one or all of the five different versions of DREAM Act that have been floated during the lame duck session of Congress and the GOP is standing firm against pushing through the rest of the Democratic agenda before newly elected Senators are seated and the House turns over control to the GOP in January after voters swamped the polls and stripped control from Nancy Pelosi and Democrats.

It is not only the Senate GOP that is refusing to cooperate with Harry Reid in the Senate though, centrist Democrats and Democrats who are up for reelection are not exactly thrilled with jumping off the cliff as Reid would like them to.

The Hill Reports "Short goodnight expected for the DREAM Act during lame duck."

Even as Democrats in both chambers prepare to consider the measure this week, Republicans and centrist Democrats are already lining up to shoot it down.

The climb is particularly steep in the Senate, where Republicans will filibuster the hot-button bill, and even former sponsors now stand in opposition.

Sen. Orrin Hatch, for instance, was the lead sponsor of the original DREAM Act when it emerged nine years ago. But already facing pressure from conservatives surrounding his 2012 reelection bid, the six-term Utah Republican is "sprinting to the right" away from the proposal, according to Frank Sharry, executive director of America's Voice, an advocacy group lobbying for the bill.

"He's not on any of our 'get' lists," Sharry said.

Hatch spokeswoman Antonia Ferrier declined to comment Friday on whether Hatch supports the underlying policy. She said Hatch's opposition — at least in the near term — stems from the recent vow among Senate Republicans to deny everything that hits the floor before the Bush tax cuts and government funding issues are settled.

"Everything's a 'no' until the tax issue is resolved," Ferrier said.

Harry Reid already knows all of this as the GOP penned a letter and sent it to him making it very clear that until the Tax issue is dealt with, the issue ranking the very top of the list for Americans, the GOP will filibuster and stop anything else from the Democratic last minute to-do list.

For that reason, we write to inform you that we will not agree to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to any legislative item until the Senate has acted to fund the government and we have prevented the tax increase that is currently awaiting all American taxpayers. With little time left in this Congressional session, legislative scheduling should be focused on these critical priorities. While there are other items that might ultimately be worthy of the Senate's attention, we cannot agree to prioritize any matters above the critical issues of funding the government and preventing a job-killing tax hike.

To top matters off, we now see that Reid is also going to try to pass one last Omnibus bill, by shoveling 100+ other bills into one large bill to try to get his socialist, far left liberal agenda through at the last minute before the 5 addition GOP Senators are seated in January and the Republicans take control of the House.

Democratic efforts to push through more than 100 public lands and water bills in the lame duck session are reaching a fever pitch, with the recognition this is the last chance many of them have to become law.

Voters got sick of Reid/Pelosi/Obama doing that over the last two years and the Democrats are still trying to play the same game as they did before the elections, showing that they didn't learn a thing from the "shellacking" (Obama's word) that they took on November 2, 2010.

Americans and legal residents who have been battling against Democrats trying to provide amnesty to illegal immigrants have been pounding the phones letting their elected Representatives and Senators know it would be political suicide to jam through the DREAM Act during the lame duck session of Congress (after elections before the newly elected members are seated) and to that end, below is a long list of numbers to call and contact forms to fill out.

Democrats up for reelection and Republicans that need reminding of just who elected them.

They can claim they are aware, they learned their lessons, they understood the message.. they can claim anything they want, but actions are louder and more telling than words and promises.

They should act accordingly and vote against DREAM Act during the lame duck session.

Time to start dialing folks to prevent this last hard push from far left liberals to provide amnesty to illegals.

Harry Reid To Try To Pass DREAM Act During Lame Duck Session

Stunts like trying to pass the DREAM Act during the lame duck session (the time between the election and when new Senators take over their positions) is the exact type of disrespect Harry Reid has shown to the American public since he became Senate Majority Leader and why many want to see Sharron Angle defeat Reid in the Nevada Senate race.

“The DREAM Act would give a group of young immigrants here without immigration status through no fault of their own the chance to attend college, serve in the military and earn citizenship,” said Frank Sharry, executive director of America’s Voice. “These valedictorians, future scientists and future soldiers are Americans in all but paperwork, and we are thrilled that Senator Reid is committed to moving this common-sense measure before the end of the year.”

“We support and will be looking for viable efforts to pass the DREAM Act after the election,” said Center for American Progress Vice President for Immigration Policy Advocacy Angela Kelley. “In order for that to happen however, like-minded Republicans will have to step forward and show their support for this modest measure to provide relief to young people. There hasn’t been a lot to suggest that bipartisan constructive conversation on immigration is possible, but I’d love to be proven wrong.”

Notice how they use the term "young people"?

To be eligible for the DREAM Act, illegal immigrants must be between the ages of 12 and 35 at the time the bill is enacted.

Reid tried attaching the DREAM Act to the Defense Bill and it was filibustered and now he is promising to bring it back up during the lame duck session, amazingly enough, this announcement is made right before Tuesday's election... subtle huh?

Republicans that even consider joining in or helping this bill pass in any way, shape or form, during the lame duck session, would be smart to remember exactly what is happening to Democrats this election cycle by passing legislation the majority of Americans were opposed to. Because in 2012, I guarantee voters, the Republican's constituents WILL REMEMBER and will replace them also.

If Reid loses his reelection bid, he not only loses his Senator status in January but he can no longer damage our country with his back room deals and bribe and showing complete disdain for voters of this country by abusing his Senate Majority Leader status with these type of stunts.

In between November and January though, Reid could do a lot of damage unless we stay on our Senators and Representatives.

.

Sharron Angle Poised To Defeat Harry Reid In Nevada Senate Race

First the first time we see, via Real Clear Politics, three separate polls from different polling organizations, all conducted in late October, showing Sharron Angle with a four point lead over the Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

The polls:

LVRJ/Mason-Dixon- Angle 49 percent, Reid 45.
Rasmussen Reports- Angle 49 percent, Reid 45.
CNN/Time- Angle 49 percent, Reid 45.

If Angle wins, this will be the biggest upset in the 2010 election and as the latest Sharron Angle ad shows (shown above), her closing argument to the people of Nevada is simply to tie Harry Reid to Barack Obama stating at the end, "it's our turn."

Via Las Vegas Review Journal, we see that handicapper and director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, Larry Sabato, has rated Nevada as "leaning GOP," although he readily admits Nevada is one of the hardest races to call at this point.

Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, is one of the few national pundits to risk predicting Angle could pull off the biggest upset of the 2010 election. On Thursday, he put out his "crystal ball" picks that has the Nevada race leaning GOP for the first time.

"Of all our predictions, I'm least certain about the Senate race in Nevada," Sabato acknowledged in an interview. "Our assumption is, independents around the country have moved solidly behind the Republicans. But the Democrats are throwing everything they've got at the effort to save Reid. If Reid survives, it will be an escape worthy of Houdini. If Angle wins, it's a measure of the strong anti-Democratic trends of the 2010 mid-term elections.

"This is a referendum on Reid and Obama."

Angle gets 85 percent of the Republican vote and Reid 84 percent of the Democratic vote and Angle holds a double digit lead over Reid with Independents, 55 percent to 38 percent.

This one is going down to the wire and Democrats have been throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Nevada to help drag Reid over the finish line, yet polling patterns show Angle still continuing to pick up percentage points, albeit one-to-two points at a time.

.

Nevada Senate Race: Angle 50 Percent, Reid 47

With midterms just two weeks away, Sharron Angle is ahead of Harry Reid in the Nevada Senate race by 3 percentage points, according to the latest Rasmussen poll.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state finds Angle with 50% to Reid’s 47%. Two percent (2%) prefer another candidate in the race, and one percent (1%) are undecided. (To see question wording, click here.)

The race remains a Toss-Up in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Senate Balance of Power rankings.

A week ago, Angle held an insignificant 49% to 48% lead in a contest that has been marked for months by its closeness. In seven of eight surveys prior to this one since July, Reid and Angle have been three points apart or less. Both have hit the 50% mark one time.

The last poll, conducted by LVRJ/Mason-Dixon, had Angle ahead by 2 percent.

Angle has also managed to get late support as she raked in $14 million during her third quarter (July 1 to September 30).

Open Secrets explains how astounding a take that really is using comparisons:

But back to that $14 million. Just how big a figure is that? Well, consider this: Only seven candidates managed to raise more than $14 million during the entire 2008 election cycle, according to the Center for Responsive Politics’ research. According to Politico, only two federal-level candidates have raised more during a three-month cycle. They are Republican Rick Lazio, who raised $22 million in the third quarter of 2000 in a U.S. Senate campaign in New York against Democrat Hillary Clinton, and now-Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.), who raised $14.2 million during his race for U.S. Senate.

Angle and Reid's one and only debate resulted in almost every pundit and media outlet declaring Angle the big winner, even those that endorsed Harry Reid grudgingly admitted she won the debate handily.

Nevada is the one Senate race this election cycle that means the most across the country, not just important to Nevadans, because replacing Reid as Nevada's Senator also dumps him from his position as Senate Majority Leader, to which he has used and abused heavily over the last few years.

Nevada Senate: Debate- Newspaper That Endorsed Harry Reid Admits Sharron Angle Won Debate

On October 10, 2010, the Las Vegas Sun formally endorsed Harry Reid and today that same paper headlines with "Reid lost the debate to Angle."

In their original endorsement they portrayed Sharron Angle as extreme as Harry Reid's attack ads have been doing consistently, but last night the two candidates each had a specific goal.

Reid's goal was to give Nevada voters a reason to reelect him and Angle's goal was to show she was not the lunatic Reid portrayed her to be and was not extreme.

Reid failed his goal and Angle succeeded in hers.

Las Vegas Sun:

Let’s get the easy part out of the way first:

Sharron Angle won The Big Debate.

Angle won because she looked relatively credible, appearing not to be the Wicked Witch of the West (Christine O’Donnell is the good witch of the Tea Party) and scoring many more rhetorical points. And she won because Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid looked as if he could barely stay on a linear argument, abruptly switching gears and failing to effectively parry or thrust.

The LA Times' Top of the Ticket has an excellent topic-by-topic recap for readers.

Sherman Frederick writes for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which endorsed Sharron Angle and headlines today with "Angle mops the floor with Reid."

While both candidates -- Sharron Angle and Harry Reid -- started out slow and tight in their debate this evening, by debate close it was clear: Angle mopped the floor with Reid.

She hit hard on a variety of topics; showed she had the fire to be a U.S. Senator; demonstrated a command of the issues; and, of course, stayed gaffe free.

Reid meanwhile looked tired. Sounded entitled. He mixed up the Department of Education with the Department of Energy. Couldn't find his notes for the close and generally fell back on talking points on far too many questions.

The New Republic, never a bastion of conservative thought, headlines with "Reid My Lips: Last Night Was a Disaster," sub header "The Senate majority leader should've stayed home. "

Why Harry Reid agreed to have a debate with Sharron Angle is a bit of a mystery to me. If your campaign is based on portraying your opponent as loony, then why give that opponent a chance to look reasonable? Lyndon Johnson never debated Barry Goldwater. Then again, I’m no political strategist. And neither, I’ve come to see, is Harry Reid. So let’s focus on what matters now: that a debate was held in Nevada last night between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Republican challenger Sharron Angle. And its upshot was—sorry, folks—that Angle improved her chances.

I’m not suggesting that Sharron Angle, having been granted the opportunity to look reasonable, looked reasonable. On the contrary, she was very much herself—smiling maniacally in her crimson suit and hurling out bizarre fictions. But she looked reasonable enough. Lies about policy don’t really hurt you in a debate, especially when they’re voiced with conviction. What hurts you is looking evasive and squishy. Sharron Angle provided the lies. Harry Reid provided the squish.

Both Ralston at Las Vegas Sun and Frank at the New Republic, both show disdain for Angle in every word, yet both feel compelled to admit Sharron Angle came out ahead.

If even those that despise Angle admit, grudgingly, that she tore up Reid, then we can bet she helped herself and hurt Harry Reid in last night's debate.

Nevada Senate Race: Sharron Angle Ad Points To Reid Voting 300 Times To Raise Taxes

Nice. 31 seconds and hard hitting.

Latest Poll shows Angle ahead of Reid by two and they debate tonight.

.

Sharron Angle's Explosive 3rd Quarter Take Of $14 Million

Sharron Angle is ahead of Harry Reid in the latest polls for the Nevada Senate seat and the explosive news today is her amazing draw of $14 million between July 1 and Sept. 30.

"Sharron Angle produced one of the most successful single quarters of fundraising in the nation's history for a U.S. Senate campaign," said Angle communications director Jarrod Agen. "This is a testament to the hatred of Harry Reid, the nation's disapproval of President Obama, and the unprecedented grassroots support for Sharron Angle."

Agen did not provide figures for how much money Angle had left in the bank at the end of September and it's likely to be well less than the $14 million she raised since she relies heavily on a costly and aggressive direct mail fundraising operation.

Reid has yet to release his third quarter fundraising totals but as of mid-summer he had collected just short of $14 million so far in 2010. For the election cycle to date, Reid has raised $18 million.

Despite Harry Reid's aggressive campaigning and attacks against Angle, she is in the lead and now has evened out the money issue to the point where she can match Reid ad for ad, attack for attack.

I have said this before and will continue to reiterate it, Nevada's Senate seat does not only concern Nevadans, but replacing Reid in Nevada removes him as Senate Majority Leader of the United States Senate.

This race concerns every single citizen of the United States of America.

.

I Agree With Harry Reid... Let Us Look At What He Has Done To Nevada And The Country, Shall We?

Big mistake, born of desperation on Harry Reid's part after finding himself behind Republican challenger Sharron Angle in the last three polls gauging the reaction and voter preference for who will win the Nevada Senate seat Reid currently holds.

Reid "pleads" with Nevadans to "Remember All I've Done."

Alright, finally something I agree with Reid on...so let us take a look at what he did "for" Nevada, huh?

Harry Reid conducted major backroom deals to get Obamacare aka Health Care reform passed into law, but he did so against the will and desires of his own constituents.

January 2010, Fifty-four percent of Nevada voters, Reid's constituents, opposed Obamacare according to CQ Politics and polls conducted by a variety of organizations at the time showed similar results of the majority of Nevada voters opposing it.

And just 35 percent of Nevada voters support the Democrats' health care overhaul legislation, a 4 point drop since December. Fifty-four percent oppose it, including 62 percent of independents and 89 percent of Republicans.

Yet Reid knew better and told folks around the country that they just didn't "understand" the law, so of course Reid passed it against their wishes... cause it was good for them and he knew better.

April 2010, 62 percent of Nevadans still didn't like the law and wanted it repealed, higher even than the national average.

Moving right along to Bailouts, which the majority of America was against and Republicans (many who lost their primaries) and Democrats alike are suffering for the massive Banking bailouts, not to mention the auto industry bailout and just about ever other bailout.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 57% of likely U.S. voters have more confidence in the judgment of a member of Congress who voted against bailouts than in the judgment of one who voted for them. Just 21% trust the judgment of a Congress member who voted for bailouts more. Another 22% are undecided.

Republican primary voters removed many due to their unhappiness but other Republicans and Democrats in Missouri, Connecticut, Ohio and Texas are all struggling in their election or reelection campaigns because of their votes cast in favor of bailouts.

Harry Reid ushered that through the Senate as well using his position as Senate Majority leader to do so.

Good or bad, right or wrong, with Nevadans suffering the highest unemployemnt rate, over 14 percent, the last thing they want is their tax funds being spent bailing out large corporations or banks.

DREAM Act.

Harry Reid supported and allowed a vote to be brought to the Senate floor on the Defense Authorization bill to which he allowed the inclusion of the highly unpopular DREAM Act.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said at a press briefing Tuesday afternoon that the immigration reform proposal would come up as an amendment to the Defense Authorization bill. A Reid aide said that such a vote was likely to come on Tuesday of next week.

The defense bill also includes a gradual repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. There will be a floor vote on an amendment to strip the repeal out of the bill, though Democrats expect to have enough votes to defeat it.

The DREAM Act is far from comprehensive, but has strong backing in the Latino and immigrant rights community. It creates a conditional pathway to citizenship for undocumented children, and requires either military service or a college degree. Advocates see the DREAM Act as a major step toward comprehensive reform that would create a pathway to citizenship for most undocumented immigrants.

The DREAM Act would have allowed states to provide in-state tuition to undocumented students by repealing a 1996 ban on benefits for illegal immigrants.

That move was rejected and did not even generate enough support to even begin a formal debate.

Rasmussen findings:

A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that only 22% of voters support the proposal introduced by Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL). The Dream Act would have given legal status to children of illegal aliens who complete two years of college or military service. That low level of support is very similar to support for the “comprehensive” reform measure that failed in June.

Fifty-nine percent (59%) of all voters oppose the Dream Act concept. Republicans oppose it by a 5-to-1 margin and unaffiliateds are opposed by a 3-to-1 margin. Democrats are a bit more evenly divided—49% opposed and 31% in favor—but Nancy Pelosi’s party certainly doesn’t provide a base of support for the Dream Act.

Fueling opposition is a concern that passage of the bill would encourage more illegal immigration in the future. The view is held by 68% of the nation’s voters. The Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 15% disagree and 17% are not sure. Seventy-six percent (76%) of Republicans, 76% of unaffiliated voters, and 55% of Democrats believe that passage of the Dream Act would encourage more illegal immigration in the future.

The Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey also found that just 16% of voters believe that the children of illegal immigrants should qualify for in-state tuition rates at colleges and universities. Seventy-one percent (71%) disagree.

Despite that Democrats are promising to try again during the lame duck session, after the midterms but before the newly elected or reelected Senators take their seats.


Popularity

Reid is the second most unpopular congressional leader out of the top four congressional leaders, only beat in his unpopularity by Nancy Pelosi, who is not up for reelection this year.

That is the tip of the iceberg, so yes, by all means, let us all "remember" what Harry Reid has done, not only to Nevada, but to this country.

Reid has put his own political aspirations and career ahead of his electorate, he has show party loyalty above and beyond any type of loyalty to his constituents and as Senate Majority leader, this race does not just concern Nevadans but the whole country.

Now that he has ignored American voters, insulted them by passing legislation that they opposed as well as Nevadans opposed, he is now pleading with them to not kick his corrupt butt out of the Senate three weeks before midterm elections.

That is rich.

Hopefully Nevadans will pay just as much attention to his pleas as he did to theirs.

Nevada Senate Seat Race- Angle Takes Lead Over Reid In Last Three Polls

The most recent polls for the Senate race in Nevada between Harry Reid and Sharron Angle have Angle leading Reid by 2, 3 and 4 percent.

CNN/TIME polling from 10-1 to 10-5, 2010 has Sharron Angle up by two percent against Harry Reid.

According to a CNN/Time/Opinion Research Corporation poll released Wednesday, 42 percent of likely voters in Nevada are backing Angle, who enjoys strong support from many in the Tea Party movement, with four in ten supporting Reid, the top Democrat in the Senate who's bidding for a fifth term in the chamber. Seven percent of people questioned are supporting Scott Ashjian, who is running as a Tea Party candidate, but who is shunned by many in the grassroots conservative moment, and 10 percent say they are voting for none of the candidates listed.

Fox News report on 10-5, 2010 shows Angle ahead of Reid by three percentage points.

In the latest Fox News battleground state poll of likely voters, Angle drew 49 percent to Reid’s 46 percent. As voters make up their mind with four weeks to go until Election Day, Angle seems to have the edge.

Rasmussen reports on 10-5, 2010 has Angle ahead of Reid by four percentage points.

Republican challenger Sharron Angle has now moved to a four-point lead over Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada’s bare-knuckles U.S. Senate race.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Nevada Voters shows Angle hitting the 50% mark for the first time since mid-August, while Reid earns 46% of the vote. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate in the race, and two percent (2%) more are undecided. (To see question wording, click here.)

After Angle won the GOP primary, Reid threw everything he had against Angle in attack ad after attacks ad and saw a small bounce which seems to have disappeared now as voters are becoming more set in their choice with less likelihood of changing their minds bring Angle ahead of Reid in polling done in October.

Wake up America has taken a special interest in the Nevada Senate race because it is not just about Nevada, but with Harry Reid being the Senate Majority leader, his decisions and his backroom deals to push through legislation that has been opposed by the majority of Americans, makes this a race that should concern everyone across the country.

The Sharron Angle Tape Is Good For Angle

Latest Sharron Angle ad: 'Real World' (Video below)





Sharron Angle met with third party candidate Scott Ashjian to ask that he step aside in the challenge for the Nevada Senate seat, basically so that they did not cancel each other out and allow Harry Reid to walk away with reelection.

Ashjian recorded the call, then released it to Jon Ralston of the Las Vegas Sun.

Angle had some harsh words for the GOP establishment and spoke very bluntly.

At the meeting’s outset, Ashjian seems open to a deal, suggesting if he can get an apology from the Tea Party Express, “we can get on board.” He claims he does not want money, wants the lawsuits about his candidacy to go away – remember those voicemails from GOP lawyer Cleta Mitchell posted elsewhere on my blog suggest she was trying to “settle” something with him. By the end of the meeting, it’s clear this attempted backroom bargain is going nowhere – and I’m not sure Ashjian ever wanted it to.

There’s a lot more, too, including:

----Angle’s open disgust with her own party’s leaders and principles (or lack thereof)

----James’ obvious abandonment of Ashjian’s candidacy and insistence that Angle will lose unless he withdraws and that there is still time to get his name off the ballot

----Some brief trashing of Sen. John Ensign by Ziser and Ashjian

----Ashjian’s claims of physical threats and of being followed

----Angle’s agreement with him that both major parties are “corrupt”

----Angle’s claim to have taken over the Washoe County Republican Party and having her “guys” in the Clark County GOP

You can read the whole thing for yourself at Las Vegas Sun.

One quick point here is by turning this tape over, it does speak volumes about Ashjian's ethics since Nevada is a state where consent of both parties must consent to being taped in order for a recording to be lawful and Ashjian did not obtain that consent.

The Politico gets to the point quickly in their piece about this:

The recording is worth listening to in full despite its poor quality. It suggests that -- at least for the purposes of this conversation with a Tea Party figure -- behind the facade of a real grassroots outsider who hates the organized Republican Party is ... a real grassroots outsider who hates the organized Republican Party.

Well said.

The tape does not, in any way, show Angle to be anything but what she has claimed she was the entire race.

If anything, I believe this tape will garner Angle more support from Independents, Moderates and Tea Party supporters who want things in Washington to change and know that it takes more than one person to be able to actually make a difference.

Listen to the audio recording.

I have said it before and I will continue saying it... removing Harry Reid from being the Nevada Senator is not just a Nevada problem.

Reid is the Senate Majority leader and he has been responsible for backroom deals to jam Obamacare, bailouts, trillions in spending through the Senate.

Harry Reid is America's problem.

Pelosi And Reid, Most Unpopular Congressional Leaders

Via Rasmussen:

With less than six weeks to go until Election Day, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remains the most unpopular of the four top congressional leaders as she has been since this session of Congress began early last year. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is a close second.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 59% of Likely U.S. Voters have an unfavorable opinion of Pelosi, including 47% who view the San Francisco Democrat Very Unfavorably. Thirty-four percent (34%) regard Pelosi favorably, with 12% Very Favorable toward her. Only seven percent (7%) have no opinion of the speaker.

Since February of last year, Pelosi’s favorables have ranged from a low of 28% to a high of 43% in April just after passage of the national health care bill. Her unfavorables have run from 52% to 64%.

Reid, who is struggling for reelection in Nevada, is seen favorably by 30% and unfavorably by 50%. This includes Very Favorables of six percent (6%) and Very Unfavorables of 33%. Twenty percent (20%) have no opinion of the majority leader.

Up to one-third (32%) of voters didn’t know enough about Reid early in the session to venture an opinion of him, but as he became better known, his negatives began to rise. Since January 2009, his favorables have ranged from 23% to 31%, his unfavorables from 41% to 56%.

Republican leaders earn higher negatives than positives as well, but with Liberals out there crying and whining about Blue Dog Democrats and blaming them for the whole Democratic Party's downfall, it is worth reminding folks that the Blue Dogs aren't the ones most unpopular, it is the far Left Progressive Democrats, namely Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

They can blame Blue Dogs all they want but just because the scream it loudly, doesn't change the fact that it is the farthest Left Liberals like Pelosi and Reid that are least liked, not the Blue Dogs.

Help needed to send Harry Reid a message today!

Harry Reid is at it again. There is a vote TODAY to pass a US defence bill that has the DREAM Act attached.

From Yankeemom:

Action Needed!!!!!

An Alert from Patriots For America ~

Senate Majority leadership (Senator Reid) plans to offer illegal immigration amnesty legislation as an amendment to the annual defense authorization bill. The amendment has nothing to do with our Nation’s defense.

The planned amnesty amendment is called the DREAM Act. It is controversial social legislation unrelated to the defense bill. It has no business in the defense bill.

And a vote is scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday, September 21, at 2:15 p.m.

With your calls and emails, Sen. John McCain, ranking member of the armed services committee, can stop leadership’s hijack of the defense bill.

We urge you to let your Senators know you’re on John McCain’s side. Senators should side with John McCain.

The business of the defense bill is the nation’s defense, not to provide a shield to controversial policy and program changes. Our troops are already burdened by the defense of freedom and they should not also have to shoulder the task of carrying legislation that cannot stand on its own.

We must not allow the defense bill to be exploited in this manner. Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, agrees and is leading the opposition against this misguided plan. But he needs 41 pro-military Senators to join him for a successful effort and that is where you come in.

Pick up the phone, call your two Senators and let them know that you do not want to see the Defense bill hijacked with this amendment. Tell them to “VOTE NO ON CLOTURE,” and to remove matters unrelated to defense from the bill. ...

Yankeemom has much more here.

Tell Harry Reid, and the rest of YOUR employees, that they have no business putting illegal immigrants on the same bill as matters related to our troops.

DO IT NOW!
