1. Thanks! Very interesting.

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.

4. My guy kept his word
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.

17. Okay, I Heard Pelosi Say She Would Vote Yes, But I Scanned All Over CA
and couldn't find her name. Which district is she from? Sorry, I really SHOULD know this.

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.
