LEAGUE OF THE SOUTH NEWS SERVICE
26 June 2007
For Immediate Release
Today, the U.S. Senate voted in favor of bill 1639 by a 64-35 margin. The passage of S. 1639 allowed what many call the Amnesty Bill to be revived and moved ahead for further debate. Many supporters believe that this crucial vote all but assures that the bill will finally be passed in the Senate and will be the first step in legalizing between 12-20 million illegal aliens already in the country.
A breakdown of the vote by State tells us clearly that the South overwhelmingly opposed reviving S. 1639. The combined vote in 14 Southern States (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia) was 11 in favor and 17 against. Thus nearly half of the 35 "no" votes came from the South while only 18% of the "yes" votes came from Dixie. Without figuring in the Southern vote, the finally tally would have been 53 "yes" to 18 "no," a striking non-Southern majority in favor of Amnesty.
The breakdown of votes in each Southern State:
Alabama: Sessions (R)-No Shelby (R)-No
Arkansas: Lincoln (D)-Yes Pryor (D)-Yes
Florida: Martinez (R)-Yes Nelson (D)-Yes
Georgia: Chambliss (R)-No Isakson (R)-No
Kentucky: Bunning (R)-No McConnell (R)-Yes
Louisiana: Landriue (D)-No Vitter (R)-No
Mississippi: Cochran (R)-No Lott (R)-Yes
Missouri: Bond (R)-Yes McCaskill (D)-No
North Carolina: Burr (R)-Yes Dole (R)-No
Oklahoma: Coburn (R)-No Inhofe (R)-No
South Carolina: DeMint (R)-No Graham (R)-Yes
Tennessee: Alexander (R)-No Corker (R)-No
Texas: Cornyn (R)-No Hutchison (R)-No
Virginia: Warner (R)-Yes Webb (D)-Yes
Once again, the Southern States have been out-voted on a measure that, should it eventually become law, would threaten the interests and well being of their citizens. As the League of the South has proclaimed now for some thirteen years, the South will not be governed in her own interests and by her own principles until she becomes an independent republic.
