House headcount on the FMA

[ButterflyBlood]

here's the companion thread. We have the 112 cosponsors to know who's for it. We can add Dreier against it. I won't ever trust Tom DeLay to be in favor of anything decent so I'll take his words against it with a grain of salt.

now for the breakdown in my state so far:

for:

Gutknecht
Peterson
Kennedy
(all cosponsors)

against:

McCollum (http://www.house.gov/mccollum/pr_022404_gaymarriage.html)

no statement:

Sabo (voted against DOMA, almost certainly against)
Oberstar
Ramstad
Kline

[Maine-i-acs]

1. Michaud (D-ME) and Allen (D-ME) both against!

Add them to the Nay column. (Portland Press Herald, 2/25/04)

Along with Olympia Snowe (R-ME) that leaves 75% of Maine's contingent against the amendment, with Susan Collins (R) awaiting her command from the Cabal to see if it outweighs her conscience and the will of her constituency...

2. Collins against according to FR

14. Checking in on Issa and Cunningham (of California)

Although I think I know which way they will go on this, it could be made into a campaign issue if done right.

ON EDIT: Cunningham is a co-sponsor, Issa supports it.

Called both his offices, neither one knows where he stands.

24. should I bother to call mine? (TX)

or, should I save the time and trouble and just announce that if they aren't for it today, its only because they haven't formally announced it?

[TheMightyFavog]

25. It's probably the same situation

with my asshat congressman.

[TheMightyFavog]

23. As for my Congressman...

back in 2000, he voted against gay adoptions in DC. I think its a very good chance he'' support the amendment.
