From Grassfire.org Alliance:
Key Amnesty Vote tomorrow. Forward to friends.
Harry Reid has scheduled a cloture vote on the Dream Amnesty Act for TOMORROW (Wednesday).
This comes after citizens like you again shut down switchboards in opposition to the Dream Act when it was pushed as an amendment last week.
Now, Durbin and Reid are pushing the Dream Amnesty Act straight to the Senate floor as a stand-alone bill -- S. 2205 -- despite overwhelming grassroots opposition!
But to rush the bill directly to the floor, they must pass a "cloture" vote first.
Robert, we simply must stop this latest effort to sneak an amnesty bill through the Senate. These are the same tricks Reid tried to use this summer to pass the Bush-Kennedy bill.
+ + Action Item #1 -- Fax Reid, Durbin and your senators
We need thousands of faxes immediately headed to Reid's office, Durbin's office, your two Senators and other key senators.
Go here to schedule your faxes:

(As always, we have posted sample letters and the fax numbers if you prefer to send your own faxes.)
+ + Action Item #2 -- Call, Call, Call!
We simply must shut down the switchboards today and tomorrow. Every Senator needs to get thousands of calls. Please call your two Senators today and tomorrow, as well as these key senators:

Our staff has compiled a list of all the Senators who currently have "no position" on this bill. Go here:http://www.firesociety.com/blog/107/17693/?src=111
+ + Talking Points
- I oppose the DREAM Act because it provides amnesty to illegal aliens and their families.
- I urge the Senator to vote "NO" on cloture for S. 2205. This amnesty bill should not be brought to the Senate floor.
- A "yes" vote on cloture will be considered a "yes" vote for amnesty.
We simply cannot allow Reid and Durbin to sneak this bill through the Senate. Thanks for your immediate action.
