Both my senators voted for it. There is only one on that list that I'd give a better than 50% odds of changing their vote and that is Senator Collins. The rest of them are thugs.

These people could care less about the people affected, the economic change this will represent, and the overall result of such stupidity. Yes, I agree, it needs to be done at some time, but why now? According to statistics, the economy is turning around. I happen to believe its not true at all. I have been off/on of jobs since 2007, when Bush fucked things up big time. I am currently unemployed AGAIN and have NEVER seen it worse than it is RIGHT now. So why now? I'll tell you why. They want to kick us all further down, while were already down. The GOP is totally destroying this country. There is no more "we the people". It's all about "ME, ME, ME".

Get the word out. EVERYONE needs to vote these assholes out of office in November.
