My congresswoman, Betty McCollum (D) MN CD-4 voted No. I figured she would, especially when it passed with such a large margin. She has a solid lock on the seat in 2012, so was able to vote her conscience on this bill.

Blumenauer's office said he was leaning "no" when I called today.
The cynic in me tells me he only leaned all the way to "no" because it was already in the bag.
I will call his office again tomorrow and thank him anyway.

5. Weird...my rep (Joe Baca) was one of the three who didn't vote. |
|
Guess that's better than voting Yes, but I sure wish he'd been another No vote.

10. It was gruesome to watch. Representative Mike Simpson was the chairman for the vote. |
|
That ugly pig with the gavel knocking down on the wooden chip all the time. From Idaho.
Just to piss me off.

11. Clearly, the rethugs were happier w/this than the Dems |
|
Not one fucking penny of tax added to the rich - corporate welfare stays intact. Shameful.
Lets at least hope the war machine gets cut.

12. No, haven't you heard? Their massive vote for this was just all a big front to save face. |
|
It's all the sad and gloomy Democrats who were torn that are truly the ones celebrating in their hearts over this great plan.

My guy didn't vote! Maurice Hinchey. I guess it's better than a 'yes'.

19. Perhaps My PC Isn't Working Well... Couldn't Get Her Name To Come Up... |
|
I already know how my Rep. was going to vote and didn't expect MUCH from him, but I was just checking out the rest of the US to see what went down.
Just didn't get her name to come up. I'll try again.
Thanks.
