Congress.org presents: MEGAVOTE April 14, 2014, for Georgia's 13th Congressional District:

Recent Congressional Votes

·         Senate: Unemployment Benefits Extension  Passage

·         Senate: Equal Pay  Cloture

·         House: Budget Resolution  Passage

Both the House and Senate are in recess until the week of April 28.

I don’t have any problem with that, spend the next six months campaigning, leave us alone.

Recent Senate Votes:

Unemployment Benefits Extension  Passage Vote Passed (59-38, 3 Not Voting)

Senators passed a bill on Monday that, as amended, would extend unemployment benefits through May 31, 2014.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted NO

Sen. Johnny Isakson voted NO

Total crap, it is not governments place to guarantee everyone an income.

Equal Pay Cloture Vote Rejected (53-44, 3 Not Voting)

The Senate failed to invoke cloture on a bill that would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (PL 75-718), requiring employers to demonstrate that wage gaps between men and women with similar qualifications in similar jobs have a business justification. The bill would also prohibit employers from retaliating against employees seeking salary information to investigate gender discrimination in wages.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted NO

Sen. Johnny Isakson voted NO

Awesome, a rare thing when politicians reject the opportunity to give a selected segment of the population a special status. Soon everyone will have a special status, for me it is already set, a man who pays lots of taxes and someone my representative ignores.

Recent House Votes:

Budget Resolution  Passage Vote Passed (2019-205, 8 Not Voting)

On Thursday, the House adopted a concurrent resolution that would provide $2.842 trillion to fund the federal government in fiscal 2015. The resolution assumes $5.1 trillion in spending reductions over 10 years and reductions in personal and corporate tax rates.

Rep. David Scott voted NO

The number 2019 might be bloated. I double checked the number on the email I received, and it did say 2019 voted for the resolution.  Maybe the Democrats should have argued for proof of identification at roll call.  My man, little David Scott, graduate of Penn's Wharton Business School, voted against a budget that the Senate will table, possibly because Reid is too busy railing against false villains, more likely because the Democratic leadership in the Senate and executive have no desire to be encumbered by things so trivial as balancing spending with income.  No rules and no complaints stick.  By the way the real count was 219-205 for passage. Not that it matters. 
Twelve Republicans voted against the resolution, four from Georgia, three of which are running for the upcoming Chambliss Senate seat, Paul Broun, Phil Gingrey, Jack Kingston (Ga.), Austin Scott (Ga.),
