MegaVote: GA 13th, 5/3/2010

This week David Scott voted for Puerto Rican statehood.  Fact is I don't really care either way and expect that the unless properly mis-labelled will be rejected by the Commonwealth populace.   It is an unabashed grab for Democratic votes in the Senate and House of Representatives.

Vote Passed (417-3, 10 Not Voting)
The House overwhelmingly passed this measure that would require the Defense Department to develop a system with specific metrics, including targeted schedules and cost objectives, for the acquisition of weapons, information technology and services.  It would also direct Defense Department officials to set up a system by 2017 to reward organizations that meet objectives and penalize those that do not.  The bill now goes to the Senate.
Rep. David Scott voted
YES

Puerto Rico Democracy Act
http://capwiz.com/congressorg/issues/votes/?votenum=242&chamber=H&congress=1112
Vote Passed (223-169, 1 Present, 37 Not Voting)
The House approved this bill to establish a two-stage process to determine Puerto Rico's political status.  The first step would be a referendum on the question of whether to maintain or change Puerto Rico's current status as a commonwealth.  If a majority of Puerto Ricans were to vote for a new status, then a second vote would be held to ask residents whether they favor statehood, full independence, independence with a special political association with the United States, or to retain the current commonwealth status.  The legislation goes to the Senate.
Rep. David Scott voted
