Congress.org presents MEGAVOTE, December 8, 2014, for Georgia's 13th Congressional District:

Recent Congressional Votes

• House: Fiscal 2015 Defense Authorization - Motion to Concur

Upcoming Congressional Bills

• Senate: Omnibus Appropriations
• Senate: Fiscal 2015 Defense Authorization
• House: California Emergency Drought Relief Act of 2014

Recent House Votes:
Executive Action on Immigration - Passage, Vote Passed (219-197, 3 Present, 15 Not Voting)
The House voted to pass a bill that would prohibit the executive branch from exempting or deferring from deportation any immigrants considered to be unlawfully present in the United States. It also would prohibit the administration from treating those immigrants as if they were lawfully present or had lawful immigration status.
Rep. David Scott voted NO

The way I see this is, my congressman voted against a bill that intends to prevent the President from circumventing Congress. No doubt along party lines, soon we'll see how brave the Hose is without the cover Senatorial tabling. My guess is the bills will become a little less trident. 

Fiscal 2015 Defense Authorization - Motion to Concur, Vote Passed (300-119, 15 Not Voting)
The House voted to concur in the Senate amendment with a House amendment and pass the bill that would authorize $495.9 billion for the Defense Department's base budget, $17.5 billion for national security programs within the Energy Department and $63.7 billion to support Overseas Contingency Operations including $5.1 billion to counter the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
Rep. David Scott voted YES

Half a trillion dollars, passes with 3:1 margin.  And what is this money intended to counter the Islamic State in Syria. Anyway, in this case I appreciate that my congressman supports defense.

Upcoming Votes:
Omnibus Appropriations - HR__
The Senate is expected to consider an omnibus spending bill to fund the government for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Harry Reid seems more interested in being proactive all of a sudden.

Fiscal 2015 Defense Authorization - HR3979
The Senate is expected to consider a bill to authorize funding for the Defense Department and related programs.

Money for guns, won't be a problem.

California Emergency Drought Relief Act of 2014 - HR5781
The House is expected to consider a bill to provide short-term water supplies to drought-stricken California.

Money for the strongly Democratic state of California, no problem expected.

Omnibus Appropriations - HR__
The House is expected to consider an omnibus spending bill to fund the government for the remainder of the fiscal year.

If there is money in there for Executive Action on Immigration, no way the House should pass an ounce of it.
