Roll Call for H.R. 1591
————–UPDATE————–
How did our local Congressional Representatives vote?
Kuhl - Nay
Reynolds - Nay
Slaughter - Yea
Walsh - Nay
… No shocks here.
Well I’m sure glad to know which Congressmen don’t support the troops (Kuhl, Reynolds, and Walsh… I’m looking at you!) and which Congresswoman continues to represent our values… You rule Louise!
Have we gotten official statements from the Kuhl, Walsh, or Reynolds camps as to why they voted against it? One a somewhat side note, we start a drinking game where everyone has to drink everytime a rep. uses the word “micromanage” in reference to this bill. Hello!! You can’t “micro”manage something that hasn’t been managed!!!!!!!!
Good point Mark!
