I'm really getting excited about this site, and I hope they can really get the word out before the election. I intend to send a donation; I've been looking through the site to see how much is there and I'm liking it a lot. There seems to be some confusion about the Congressmen that voted for the bill the first time and against it the second time; some consider them heros for trying to shoot it down, but I think the whole thing was a carefully choreographed farce to provide some plausible cover for the Republicans. As far as "heros" I don't see it that way - if they'd voted no the first time, it wouldn't have been so close and maybe they wouldn't have tried again. I show

Note that almost all these are Republicans. One way to look at it, and they would certainly say so, is that the amended bill was not as clean, (which it wasn't) and the Democrats all switched their votes for the porked-up version, but I call bullshit on that; it's pretty apparent to me that they were providing cover for each other (bi-partisanship) so they could all go home and claim they voted against it because of the pork (Repubs) or for it because of the "enhancements" (Dems). The onlygood guys are the few that voted against both bills . The "turncoats" are mostly Democrats, but those that voted for it either time should be defeated.

The following Senators voted against the BBBBB (Dodd amendment to HR1424).  Again, you should vote to defeat any Senator who is NOT on this list.


Allard  Barrasso  Brownback  Bunning  Cantwell  Cochran  Crapo  
DeMint  Dorgan  Dole  Enzi  Feingold   Inhofe   Johnson  Landrieu  
Nelson, Bill  Roberts   Sanders   Sessions   Shelby  Stabenow  Tester   
Vitter  Wicker  Wyden

Most of these deserve to be defeated because of their support for the Iraq war, but that was then. We have an opportunity to link the next election to this vote and send a clear message that unconstitutional theft under the color of law will be punished.
