Special House Session Reveals Another Bailout
Just what our country needed…another bailout. Thanks to the Democrats in Congress who ignored the wishes of their constituents by voting for H.R. 1568, a no-name bill that will dump borrowed dollars into the states. Tertium Quids reports that this bill was used to prevent teacher and public safety worker layoffs. Additionally, the House also voted to let the lame duck session (the session from Election Day to December) continue as planned, blocking a resolution proposed by Republicans that would eliminate this session to prevent House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s agenda from moving forward.
How did Virginia’s Congressional Delegation vote:
H.R. 1586:
Voting YEA Connolly, Nye, Perriello, Moran, Scott, Boucher
Voting NO Forbes, Goodlatte, Wolf, Cantor, Wittman
Blocking Lame Duck:
Voting for Lame Duck: Connolly, Perriello, Boucher, Moran, Scott
Voting to block Lame Duck: Nye, Forbes, Goodlatte, Wolf, Cantor, Wittman
Sounds to me that voters should remember those voting in favor of H.R. 1586 (continuing to drive America further into debt) and Lame Duck.
