44 House Dems voted today to pass the Tyranny Act (Patriot Act)

[opusprime]

I have been trying to find out which Dems supported this nightmare, and all I could find was this on the house web site: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2005/roll627.xml

I see my representative voted NO... so lucky for him.

The rest will surely feel my wrath.

1. this is one of the reasons I have stopped donating to the DNC

since the 2004 loss.

I only donate to individual candidates

2. Wonder why the hell McDermott didn't vote at all..

I thought he had a civil liberties track record, guess i'm wrong.

[last_texas_dem]

4. He was probably just absent

for some unrelated reason. He doesn't seem like the type who would avoid a vote simply because it's controversial.

15. i know.. ..just seems wierd to me...

i don't know him too well, but wasn't he in Michael Moore's Faranheit 9/11 film discussing the vote on the war and the patriot act?

Isn't he from the state of Washington?

i might be misrembering, it's hard to keep track of over 435 Congress members, but for some reason it strikes me as odd - i thought i associated McDermott as principled on issues of civil liberties and such.

9. McDermott didn't vote??

[radio4progressives]

13. McDermott is listed as "not voted"

odd isn't it?

[radio4progressives]

3. when you get that list together please post it here...

and I'll join you on that effort.

now we have to make sure this whole thing bites the dust in the Senate.

Go Feingold and Reid!

8. Sure thing.... I should have it ready soon.

They should make this stuff easier to find... but then accountability can be a bitch huh?

5. Just wrote and called Schiff.

:nuke:

The Democratic Party IS NOT what we may think it is.

[guidod]

14. As well as I...

He just lost my vote!

[realFedUp]

18. I guess we share him in common...

The Dems around here won't put anyone else against
him. We don't need Blue Dogs anymore.

[guidod]

21. Unfortunately we do,

I'm surrounded by Burbank republicans, you know the ones that go 25 in a 45 zone. My wife of 33 years has become one of them. There all made from the same mold.

[realFedUp]

22. my condolences....nt

[savemefromdumbya]

6. mine voted NO

[Dark]

7. Oh, wonderful. Chabot voted for it. Great

I'm going to call him about this. I do not want my rights infringed upon by EITHER party.

[FreedomAngel82]

10. Of course mine voted yes

Ugh! I hope we get rid of him next year!

[longship]

11. Mine voted "Nay"

Joe Baca (D-CA)

Good for you, Joe.

12. Allen "Let's Dismantle Social Security" Boyd voted for it. D-2nd FL

16. Like it or not,

the propaganda about the democrats being divided has truth in it. Of course there is some division in the repuke camp as well. But there are democrats who like the security state and the neocon agenda. And I stand against them as well as the repukes and the neocons, their label doesn't matter when it comes to the constitution of the US and the behaviour of my country.

17. Rob Andrews (NJ) voted YEA - voted to limit bankruptcy as well... :-(

I'm beginning to wonder who he thinks he representing? Do you really think you're doing us a favor in South Jersey by allowing the FBI to search our houses and keep it a secret from us?

Do you really think voting the way you're voting gets you any cred with the 'Pugs here in South Jersey?

Are the Republicans throwing any government money our way here in Gloucester County for your votes? I'm asking because I'm not seeing it while all the billions are pouring into the red states...

Rob, you've personally answered my letter re: bankruptcy bill and I respect that (while I still disagree - where's the lower interest rates, Rob?), but your voting is making me wish someone truly liberal will run against you in the next primary so you can find your Democratic backbone!
