Maybe it will pass then. It went by party line. The reasons that the GOP gave for not voting for it were disgraceful!

North Carolina. Emailing that old fool isn't going to do you any good. He is a Jessie Helms clone and has been in the seat for a while. What needs to be done, is talk to his constituents and the citizens of North Carolina to kick this old goat out of office. He was re-elected during the mid terms. What needs to be done is put some pressure on Blue Dog Hagan for those Fiscal talks or place primary pressure on her. Give it two years before North Carolinians get tired of what they elected too. They are messing up before McCrory has even got in office with their stupid policies. Watch and take notes.

They have a weekly "report card" and the editors gave him an "f". Here are their final words on this:

'Burr both embarrassed and disappointed us all on this vote.'

Trying to talk to him is a waste of breath; give him some bad PR instead
