Congress.org presents: MEGAVOTE April 7, 2014, for Georgia's 13th Congressional District.
Recent Congressional Votes
- Senate: Unemployment Benefits Cloture
- House: Ukraine Aid Passage
- House: Employee Hours Rules Passage
- Senate: Unemployment Benefits
- House: Budget resolution
Unemployment Benefits Cloture Vote Agreed to (61-35, 4 Not Voting)
Senators voted to invoke cloture on an amended bill that would extended eligibility for long-term unemployment benefits through May 31, 2014.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted NO
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted NO
Meaningless as they are I do think Georgia's Senators voted correctly on this subject. It is well known that the number of persons searching for employment is shrinking. If politicians continually move the bar toward to infinity, where is the motivation for those inclined to skate?
Recent House Votes:
Ukraine Aid Passage Vote Passed (378-34, 19 Not Voting)
On Tuesday, the House agreed to concur with a Senate amendment and pass a package of $150 million in aid and loan guarantees to the Ukrainian government. The vote required a two-thirds majority under the suspension of House rules. President Obama signed the bill into law on April 3.
Rep. David Scott voted YES
The description that comes to mind is EUNUCH, a gaggle of EUNUCHS strutting around the Congressional floor thumping their chest for having helped the the oppressed of eastern Europe. The money, $150,000,000.00 is like a drop of rain in the ocean, it is not significant help, it is risk averse.
Employee Hours Rules Passage Vote Passed (248-179, 4 Not Voting)
House members voted on Thursday to change the number of hours employees must work to qualify for mandatory employer coverage under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The law would define full-time employees as those working 40 hours a week, ten more hours than as defined under current law.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
On this one I think the result is wrong and the vote of my Representative is wrong. The politicians in control today and going back to under President Bush have been pushing to call full time a 32 hour work week. The vote itself is probably inconsequential, the Senate and the President will squelch it.
Upcoming Votes:
Unemployment Benefits - H.R.3979
Senators will consider passage of an extension of long-term unemployment benefits tonight.
Said it up above, it is time for some politicians to insist people get off their asses. Hell they do not have to do anything, unemployment has been pretty high in Georgia for the last 6 years but I do not know of a single person that was not on the edge of retirement anyway that has not been able to find workable employment quickly.
Budget resolution - H.Con.Res.96
The House is scheduled to consider the Budget Committees Fiscal Year 2015 budget resolution this week.
I would start the process by de-funding the IRS and DOJ.
Don't talk to me that way buddy.
