Final list of the winners and traitors

For the traitors, we can call them "Soon to be ex Senator (insert name here)"

SENATORS WHO SWITCHED TO THE GOOD SIDE TODAYOn Tuesday, we were five votes short of killing S. 1639 -- we needed 40. We gave you some top targets but also asked all of you to keep working on your own YES-ON-AMNESTY Senators even if not on a list of likely switchers. How glad we are that you did. No anti-amnesty group that I know of thought Alaska or Ohio could persuade even one Senator, let alone two! Who would have guessed we might get Harkin of Iowa, Collins of Maine? Here are the 18 Senators who voted YES to allow the amnesty bill back on the Senate floor on Tuesday but voted NO to kill it today. All of us at the NumbersUSA headquarters in Arlington, Va. (on the river looking at the Capitol) gathered in our conference room to watch the vote. I wish you could have been here with the whoops every time one of these 18 said YES! We not only got the 40 votes we needed to win, we got 53!!!! Alaska: Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Sen. Ted Stevens Arkansas: Sen. Mark Pryor Iowa: Sen. Tom Harkin Kansas: Sen. Sam Brownback Kentucky: Sen. Mitch McConnell Maine: Sen. Susan Collins Minnesota: Sen. Norm Coleman Missouri: Sen. Kit Bond Nebraska: Sen. Ben Nelson Nevada: Sen. John Ensign New Mexico: Sen. Jeff Bingaman North Carolina: Sen. Richard Burr Ohio: Sen. Sherrod Brown, Sen. George Voinovich Virginia: Sen. John Warner, Sen. Jim Webb We have a new fax for you to thank these Senators. Right now, please forgive all past transgressions and just let them feel the love. Let them know how much better it feels to stand with the majority of voters in your state on this contentious issue. If you want to call one of their offices and give them Thirty Seconds of Thanks,please do.
ALL SENATORS WHO VOTED NO ON AMNESTY TODAYAlabama: Sen. Jeff Sessions, Sen. Richard Shelby Alaska: Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Sen. Ted Stevens Arkansas: Sen Mark Pryor Colorado: Sen.

Norm Coleman Mississippi: Sen. Thad Cochran Missouri: Sen. Kit Bond, Sen. Claire McCaskill Montana: Sen. Max Baucus, Sen. Jon Tester Nebraska: Sen. Ben Nelson New Hampshire: Sen. John Sununu Nevada: Sen. John Ensign New Mexico: Sen. Jeff Bingman, Sen. Pete Domenici North Carolina: Sen. Richard Burr, Sen. Elizabeth Dole North Dakota: Sen. Byron Dorgan Ohio: Sen. Sherrod Brown, Sen. George Voinovich Oklahoma: Sen. Tom Coburn, Sen. Jim Inhofe Oregon: Sen. Gordon Smith South Carolina: Sen. Jim DeMint South Dakota: Sen. John Thune Tennessee: Sen. Lamar Alexander, Sen. Bob Corker Texas: Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson, Sen. John Cornyn Utah: Sen. Orrin Hatch Vermont: Sen. Bernie Sanders Virginia: Sen. John Warner, Sen. Jim Webb West Virginia: Sen. Robert Byrd, Sen. Jay Rockefeller Wyoming: Sen. John Barrasso, Sen. Mike Enzi We also have thank you faxes to those Senators who voted NO on amnesty both Tuesday and today. So much congratulations to those of you who persuaded BOTH your Senators to stand with the American people. For those of you who didn't persuade even one Senator, you clearly live in a tough state politically. But I hope some of the victories today will encourage you to keep trying. We proved that Democratic-dominated states no longer have to go for the open borders side. ONE-THIRD of the Senate Democrats voted with us today.
