How Senators Voted on Important Legislation

Arctic Drilling Passes in House of Representatives: How Did Your Rep. Vote? Final vote results for Roll Call 135 -- On April 11th, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bad Energy bill that will do little to curb oil use, fails to tackle global warming, and will open the Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to new oil drilling. An amendment introduced by Representative Edward Markey (D-MA) would have blocked new oil drilling in the Arctic Refuge by stripping out drilling language from the Energy bill. The Markey amendment failed 197-228, and the House voted to support Arctic drilling despite Environmental Defense's action alert last week that generated emails and phone calls from over 25,000 Environmental Defense activists.

Overturning the Ergonomics rules that were to protect workers from repetitive stress injuries was one of the most dastardly, anti labor, anti people deeds the conservative extremists have ever done. Here is how our democratic senators voted. (The Yea votes are the bad guys. They voted yes to rescind the work place protections.)

The following are results of Senate vote on Bush's Budget 'Blueprint' and 1.6 trillion Tax Cut proposal. This isn't a done deal though. When congress
reconvenes April 24th, this will be debated in Committee and possibly/probably go back to House and Senate for votes. Bush dictatorship hopes to get it
back up to $1.6 trillion or more, so keep the pressure up on your representative or, if you liked the way he voted, let him know that too.

It's no news to any of you that Gale Norton was confirmed by the spineless body also known as the U.S. Senate. The vote was hardly unanimous, however, with 24 Senators brave enough to refuse to be part of this sellout. They are listed below. If your senator is NOT on this list, he or she needs to hear from you. Tell them you will not forget the vote. And if you have an extra minute, thank your senator if he/she is on this list.

No on Norton:

Bayh Edwards Reed

Biden Harkin Rockefeller

Boxer Kennedy Sarbanes

Cleland Kerry Schumer

Clinton Leahy Stabenow

Corzine Levin Torricelli

Dayton Lieberman Wellstone

Durbin Mikulski Wyden

We managed to rally 42 Democratic Senators to oppose Ashcan for Attorney General. All 50 Republicans voted as a block to confirm. 8 Democrats also voted to confirm.

Here are the shameful traitors who voted to confirm Ashcan. Of the simply "SHAMED" we expected little else--they may as well be Republicans. Of the doubly and triply "SHAMED" we expected much more and are thus extremely disgusted with them.

Ben Nelson of Nebraska (SHAME!)
Robert Byrd of W. Virginia (SHAME!)
Christopher Dodd of Connecticut (DOUBLE SHAME!)
John Breaux of Louisiana (SHAME!) Breaux doesn't deserve the party designation of "Democrat." He's a Republican-lite. Please leave the Dem. party, Breaux.
Zell Miller of Georgia (SHAME! Here's the number one treasonous bastard! Moron Miller is campaigning for Dictator Bush in 2004!)
Kent Conrad of N. Dakota (SHAME!)
Byron Dorgan of N. Dakota (SHAME!)
Russ Feingold of Wisconsin (TRIPLE SHAME!!! He (did) deserve our complete and total antipathy, but was 'redeemed' to some extent by voting against the Patriot Act of Fascism.)

The following Senators are the good guys who stood up and voted against this right wing extremist nominee. If your Senator is not on this list, he/she needs to hear from you. You should thank these Senators who stood up for us. Let's let them know that we're behind them!

No on AshKKKroft:

Akaka Durbin Lincoln

Baucus Edwards Mikulski

Bayh Feinstein Murray

Biden Jr Graham Nelson

Bingaman Harkin Reed

Boxer Hollings Reid

Cantwell Johnson Rockefeller IV

Carnahan Kennedy Sarbanes
