Subject: [BRC-NEWS] URGENT: Final Push on Africa Bill
>[Moderator: "Cloture" is the closing or limitation of debate in a
>legislative body especially by calling for a vote (Merriam-Webster)]
>
>One Final Push to STOP the "NAFTA for Africa Bill"
>
>Call Senate Minority Leader Daschle as well as your two Senators TODAY!
>
>Call the Capitol Switchboard Toll-Free at 1-800-648-3516
>
>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>
>After a clear victory against cloture on the Africa Bill on Friday, Senate
>Majority Leader Lott (R-MS) decided to bring the cloture vote back up
>again tomorrow, 11/2/99 (a bill stays active in the Senate until it
>actually gets pulled from the calendar, something Lott didn't do on
>Friday). Our victory was sweet but short-lived, and in order to kill this
>bill once and for all, we need to dive right back into campaign mode and
>get to our phones.
>
>Senator Lott has announced that the bill is dead if we can beat cloture
>again tomorrow, and we must pile on our Senators to make this happen!
>
>The message to your Senators and Senator Daschle should be (see included
>list of how the Senators voted at the bottom of the e-mail. NV = Not
>Voting):
>
>"Thank you for opposing cloture on the Africa bill on Friday. I'm calling
>to urge the Senator to oppose the second cloture vote on the "NAFTA for
>Africa" Bill tomorrow. I hope that she/he will be consistent with the vote
>on Friday, and that no matter what political deals she/he will remain
>opposed to cloture. How is the Senator planning to vote on this?"
>
>There are also a handful of Senate leaders that we should reach out to.
>They are Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA), Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV),
>Senator Carl Levin (D-MI), Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND), Senator Byron
>Dorgan (D-ND).
>
>The message to them is:
>
>"I am calling urge your boss to not sacrifice democratic rights over some
>last minute package on tomorrow's cloture vote on Africa. The Senator and
>other Democratic leaders are in a unique position to stop this bill, and
>ensure that a package that would be bad for Democrats doesn't get cut last
>minute. Can we count on the Senator to stand up for democratic rights & to
>oppose cloture in tomorrow's vote?"
>
>Keep us posted on what you hear back from the Hill, and let us know if you
>have any questions. You can call us at 202-546-4996 and ask for any member
>of the Global Trade Watch Field Department or you can e-mail us at:
