How they voted, what it means, and where we go from here
The House bill has passed. Some of our reps supported it, and some voted against it. We can’t use this single vote as a barometer.
We need to look at this vote in conjuction with other votes they have made, in order to make a decision about whether to fight to boot them out, or not. We need to know how they voted on TARP, the stimulus, the budget, Cap & Trade… I don’t have that data, but some of you probably do… at least the voting record of YOUR Representative.
So please post that info here, in the comments section, and I will try to compile a blog that gives everyone an overall view of what our reps are doing. We know that Pelosi has given some of them permission to vote against their party’s interest, in order to keep their seats in the House.
We also know that they are going to push for amnesty for illegals. If that passes, it’s GAME OVER! So we’ve got work to do.
The following tells the tale of the House Bill. Like I requested, please add other pertinent voting record info in the comments and I’ll compile a complete picture to be used to help us develop our strategies going forward.
The House vote -
01 G. K. Butterfield — YES
02 Bob Etheridge — YES

One last thought – we only have 2 Senators – Burr and Hagan. The Senate is the next battlefield. I hope the folks from across the state will be willing to ficus, in particular on Kay Hagan on the next couple of months. We need people at ALL her offices EVERY week between now and the time the Senate votes. EVERY week. Rolling Tea Parties circling her offices. Phone calls, faxes and emails…day in and day out. Please discuss this at your KTMS.
