After several defeated efforts, Sen. Sessions (R-Ala.) finally won over a majority of his colleagues this morning. They agreed with him that illegal aliens should not get jobs created with federal tax dollars.
In March, the Sessions E-Verify amendment was killed by tabling in a 50-47 vote.
But this morning, the tabling motion failed 44-53. (The amendment then passed on voice vote.)
12 Democrats and 1 Independent defied Party leadership and voted with all 40 Republicans to:
7 SENATORS WHO SWITCHED TO THE GOOD SIDE TODAY
E-Verify won today because these Senators -- who voted to kill the E-Verify mandate in March switched today and voted for using E-Verify to keep illegal aliens out of federal contractor jobs.

•Kent Conrad (D-N.D.)
•Bryan Dorgan (D-N.D.)
•Mary Landrieu (D-La.)
•Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.)
•Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.)
•Mark Pryor (D-Ark.)
•John Rockefeller (D-W.Va.)
All of you who live in those states -- especially North Dakota and Arkansas -- take a bow. Thanks for all you have done to help these Senators see the error of their March vote.

>And Then<

A "Yes" vote for the amendment supports the completion of 700 miles of fencing along the southwest border.
Voted YES : 54

"Minutemen's 15 minutes are going into overtime"

Thank you Mary Sanchez for you column published in the The Kansas City Star this morning regarding Shawna Forde accused in the murder of two in Arizona.
I think it was P.T. Barnum that said “I don't care what they say about me as long as my name is spelled right”. Okay maybe, there’s not 100% agreement in what is attributed to Barnum in this instance but once again Mary Sanchez tried to link an honest God fearing group of volunteers to a despicable crime.
If you choose to hop on the Sanchez’s train then your next stop is blaming law enforcement as well as the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps and other like minded groups with these murders since one of the alleged conspirators (Todd Hezlitt) may have gone to the Pima County Sheriff's Deputy Training academy? If this (Hezlett) is the same, he “didn't make the cut, according to the PCSD”.

Mary, people know you; they know you’re bent in a knot trying to discredit the volunteers of Minutemen and advancing La Raza & my guess ACORN as well.

The Minuteman Pledge
(In case you’re interested)

Independence Day yesterday brought close to 500 people together exercising their right to assemble & protest our federal governments policy’s in Kansas City Missouri and across the street (State Line Road) in Leawood Kansas.

Speakers such as Darla Jaye (live talk) 980 Radio and several just plain folk which included a Minuteman volunteer expressed their individual displeasure in which the country is being led.

The ‘National Anthem’ & ‘Proud to be an American’ was sung by 16 year old Ashtyn Hutchings of Overland Park KS.

Raleigh 'sewer creature' surprises city officials

By: Tyler Dukes,

news14.com

Ed Buchan, environmental coordinator at the Raleigh Public Utilities Department, said staff biologists have confirmed that the "creature" is actually a colony of tubifex worms. The colonies attach themselves to roots that gradually work themselves into weak points in the pipes.
"They seem to respond to the light from the camera," Buchan said. "That light is pretty hot."
The worms naturally occur in sewage and pond sediment and are actually sold both live and dried as fish food in pet stores.

(I think I'd rather have ET in the Raleigh Sewers)

My thanks to another Billy in Topeka

Okay, where’s the entrepreneurs out there get with the program. I’d love to wear one to some of our local establishments and see what happens.
I’m thinking:

McDonald’s – Almost any lawn service company – Home Depot etc.

(Thanks Don T.)

I believe this video is from a (1959) film based on the career of Red Nichols & the Five Penny's featuring Louie (Satcchmo) Armstrong and portraying Danny Kaye as Red Nichols.

If you haven't heard of Danny Kaye then you must be very, very young and apparently missed a unique individual. Kaye died in 1987 at about 74 years of age. If you care to research a 1955 film called "The Court Jester" and then try and find his famous "pellet with the poison" speech, it's a hoot.

(Thanks to Billie N. in Indiana)
