AMNESTY BILL (S.1348) ROLL CALL CLOTURE VOTE - June 7, 2007
This was a vote to end debate on the Immigration Amnesty bill (S.1348)
two weeks ago before it could be weakened further by opponents' amendments, so that it could be pushed through for passage.
[ The Amnesty bill has since been re-numbered and re-introduced on
June 18, 2007, now as S.1639. The U.S. Senate calendar indicates that
S.1639 will be taken up on Tuesday, June 26, 2007.

www.trosch.org/for/masonic-sym.html
[additional emphasis added]
The power of the Masonic bond was evidenced in the impeachment trial of President Clinton.
In high school Clinton had been president of the Masonic youth group De Molay and in 1988 was inducted into the International De Molay Hall-of-Fame. Three Senators, all 33rd degree Masons,
were instrumental in his acquittal: Majority Leader Trent Lott limited the time and the number
of witnesses available to the House prosecutors; Republican Arlen Specter led the 10 Republican Senators who voted to acquit; Democrat Robert C. Byrd, although publicly acknowledging Clinton's guilt, actually voted for acquittal, and set the example for all other Democrats.
The secret oaths and insoluble bonds of Freemasonry bring them ever closer to
their ultimate goals the destruction of Christianity and the establishment of a pagan
New World Order. [emphasis added]

pro-Amnesty Senators will attempt to do next week, before the Fourth of July recess !!!

CLOTURE MOTION
Mr. REID. Mr. President, if I could do a little bit of business, and I will yield to the distinguished Senator from Delaware.
I was going to ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the consideration of
S. 1639, the immigration legislation, at a time to be determined by the majority leader following consultation with the Republican leader. However, I am advised there would be an objection from the Republican side, so I am not going to ask for that unanimous consent.
Therefore, I move to proceed to Calendar No. 208, S. 1639, and I send a cloture motion to the desk.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The cloture motion having been presented under rule XXII, the Chair directs the clerk to read the motion.
[Page: S8159] GPO's PDF
The legislative clerk read as follows: Cloture Motion
We, the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the provisions of rule XXII of the Standing Rules
of the Senate, do hereby move to bring to a close debate on the motion to proceed to
Calendar No. 208, S. 1639, Immigration.
Ted Kennedy, Russell D. Feingold, Daniel K. Inouye, Tom Carper, Sheldon Whitehouse, Pat Leahy, Richard J. Durbin, Benjamin L. Cardin, Ken Salazar, Frank R. Lautenberg, Joe Lieberman, Dianne Feinstein, John Kerry, Charles Schumer, Ben Nelson, B.A. Mikulski.
Mr. REID. I now ask unanimous consent that the mandatory quorum required under rule XXII be waived, and I therefore withdraw the motion.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

Foreign Invasion and War are two of God's "end-game" judgments
upon wicked nations that shed innocent blood (2 Kings 24:1-4), as
the United States of America has done for over 34 years, murdering
over 47 Million (www.ldi.org) pre-birth children while in the God-designed sanctuary of their mothers' wombs:
2 Kings 24:1-4, KJB:
"In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up,..."
"And the LORD... sent them against Judah to destroy it,
according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servants the prophets."
"Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah,
to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;"
"And also for the innocent blood that he shed:
for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood;
which the LORD would not pardon."
www.kingjamesbible.com/B12C024.htm
God is not mocked, America. "Blood toucheth blood" (Hosea 4:2).
We have sown bloodshed in the womb, and we are already reaping
bloodshed on the streets, of America and Iraq. God is recompensing
us blood for blood for our national sin of child-murder-by-abortion
(e.g., Columbine, 9-11, Iraq, Katrina, VA Tech,...), just as He did in the
War Between Americans (1861-1865) for the national sin of chattel slavery,
borne of the capital crime of man-stealing (Exodus 21:16), and followed
by generations of brutality, bloodshed, and injustice against Black people.

As America considers the twin major national security issues of:
1) millions of illegal aliens already having entered our country, and
2) the disaster from the undeclared, and therefore unconstitutional,
and therefore illegal; as well as unjustified (no 9-11 connection, no WMD's),
and therefore unnecessary (not a "just" war), and therefore immoral War in Iraq,
REMEMBER:
It is God alone Who can bring peace and security to a land (Lev. 26:5,6)...
Foreign invasion and War are divine consequences upon a nation,
any nation, for the shedding of innocent blood (e.g., 2 Kings 24:1-4)...
As has been said, it's now Christ, or Chaos (and then Tyranny)...
Mr. Mike Warren, Rochester, NY, minister and pro-life leader:
"True repentance is not possible until the truth regarding the need of repentance
is comprehended."
How many Christians understand the Biblical doctrine of corporate bloodguilt,
and therefore realize that all of us in America are stained with bloodguiltiness,
as is the land itself ? How many pastors have the courage to preach it in the pulpit ?
(e.g., Deuteronomy 19:10, 13; Numbers 35:33; Deuteronomy 21:1-9; Jeremiah 26:15)
"If My people, which are called by My Name (born-again Christians), shall humble
themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then
will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

Abortion in America can be ended in one week by passing H.R. 2597 and
removing appellate jurisdiction from the U.S. Supreme Court, to prevent
the overturn of this bill, which if passed would ban abortion nationwide
( see H.R. 2597, the Sanctity of Life Act of 2007 at http://thomas.loc.gov )
Abortion in each state can be ended by passing no exceptions fetal 'personhood'
