Recent Congressional Votes:
- Senate: Campaign Finance Constitutional Amendment - Cloture
- House: Water Regulation - Passage
- House: Health Plan Extensions - Passage
- Senate: Pay Check Fairness Act
- House: Continuing Appropriations
Campaign Finance Constitutional Amendment - Cloture Vote Rejected (54-42, 4 Not Voting)
The Senate failed to invoke cloture on a joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment that would allow federal and state lawmakers to set limits on money raised and spent by candidates and others to influence elections. The amendment would give Congress and the states the power to distinguish between people and "corporations or other artificial entities created by law" and to block such entities from spending money on elections.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted NO
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted NO
Who ever said that Democrats were for free speech. They claim to be but then try do define who has free speech and you can bet your bottom dollar that unions and liberal causes are all in the "acceptable" group. Hypocrites they are.
Recent House Votes:
Water Regulation - Passage Vote Passed (262-152, 17 Not Voting)
The House voted to pass a bill that would prohibit the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers from finalizing an expansion of the federal water pollution law.
Rep. David Scott voted YES
Little David Scott voted with the right side on this one, anything to stop unilateral decisions by government bureaucrats that are more an more outwardly progressive leaning.
Health Plan Extensions - Passage Vote Passed (247-167, 17 Not Voting)
The House voted to pass a bill that would allow health insurers to continue providing any group health plans offered in 2013 to existing or new enrollees, even if the plans do not comply with the coverage requirements under the 2010 health care law. The measure also would consider those plans as grandfathered and thus not subject to penalties for not complying with the law's individual mandate.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
That is the little Democrat that I remember. A vote to extend gap coverage insurance and he votes against it. It is almost as if Democrats are yearning for a health care apocalypse, they craft a flawed law and resist remediation.
Upcoming Votes:
Pay Check Fairness Act - S2199
The Senate will consider a bill that would require employers to demonstrate that wage gaps between men and women with similar qualifications and in similar jobs have a business justification.
I smell a stinker, something that is going to cost businesses extra whether they play fair or not.
Continuing Appropriations - HJRes124
The House will consider a resolution that would provide continuing appropriations for government operations through December 11, 2014.
I would always vote to stall the government. Then the president would have to focus on foreign affairs while no extra money is given away by idled representative.
