State senators keep voting for amnesty

I just want the public to be aware that there have been three votes in the United States Senate for amnesty for illegal aliens this year.

The last vote was last week and it was voted down. In all three votes, Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell voted for amnesty for illegal aliens. This is after about 75 percent of the people of the United States, including Washington state, have said no to illegal amnesty.

Do you feel that Sens. Murray and Cantwell are representing you when they voted for amnesty? If you don’t agree that they are representing you, the only choice you have is to vote against them the next time they run for office.
