According to the Washington Times:
"But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the House Democratic leadership are open-borders advocates who want no part of the SAVE Act, and have thus far managed to keep the bill buried..."
If Pelosi and company have their way, the SAVE Act of 2007 will NEVER get a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives!
A few days ago, Congressmen Brian Bilbray (R-California) and Heath Shuler (D-North Carolina) initiated what is called a "discharge petition." Under House rules, if a simple majority, 218 Members, sign this discharge petition, the SAVE Act of 2007 will be FORCED to the floor of the House for a fair-up-or-down vote!
To date, 181 Members have signed the discharge petition. So we are only 37 votes short from forcing a vote on the SAVE Act!
38 Members of Congress who actually sponsored the SAVE Act of 2007 have NOT -- as of yet -- signed the discharge petition!
If these 38 Members simply moved to give the legislation they so proudly sponsored a fair up-or-down vote, the Pelosi-inspired obstruction would be stopped dead in its tracks!
