The defeat of the amnesty bill shows that in our representative democracy, voters – we the people – trump special interests and mainstream media elites.
By a vote of 53-to-46, the Senate scuttled the insane notion that 12 million illegal aliens, who flout American laws, should be put on a path to citizenship.
Citizen-generated outrage to President Bush’s amnesty plan and grassroots pushback put another nail in the coffin of the MSM.
Richard A. Viguerie, the godfather of bypassing the MSM filter and co-author of "America’s Right Turn--How Conservatives Used New and Alternative Media to Take Power," said:
If this same fight had been waged even 20 years ago, the big boys probably would have won. Today, ordinary citizens were able to have their voices forcefully heard in Washington, D.C. This was a Harriet Miers-type moment.
We did the job only Americans can do. We stood up for border security and the rule of law.
