Recent Senate Votes:
Keystone XL Pipeline - Climate Change, Vote Rejected (50-49, 1 Not Voting)
The Senate rejected a Schatz, D-Hawaii, amendment to a bill that would immediately allow TransCanada to construct, connect, operate and maintain the pipeline and cross-border facilities known as the Keystone XL pipeline. The amendment would express the sense of the Senate that climate change is real and that human activity significantly contributes to it. By unanimous consent, the Senate agreed to raise the majority requirement for adoption of the amendment to 60 votes.
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted NO
Sen. David Perdue voted NO
Why couldn't the Senate get it on the books that climate change is real when they were in control of the Senate. The sanctum of Al Gore and Harry Reid. The idea is preposterous on its face, a bill meant for the construction of an energy pipeline labelled with the concept that the energy is meant for evil. Besides the reality that an overt statement of duality is useless, besides the concept that climate change is the product of mankind is really the product of extrapolation of filtered data, the who damned thing is fucking stupid. Hell this dumb bastard is a Senator from Hawaii, the darned volcanoes there put out more heat and pollution than all of mankind.
Keystone XL Pipeline - Climate Change, Vote Agreed to (56-42, 2 Not Voting)
The Senate agreed to table (kill) a Sanders, I-Vt., amendment to a bill that would immediately allow TransCanada to construct, connect, operate and maintain the pipeline and cross-border facilities known as the Keystone XL pipeline. The amendment would express the sense of the Senate that climate change is real and caused by human activities. It also would urge the U.S. to overhaul its energy system away from fossil fuels and towards sustainable energy.
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Sen. David Perdue voted YES
More of the same freaking crap.
Keystone XL Pipeline - Energy Efficiency Standards, Vote Agreed to (94-5, 1 Not Voting)
The Senate adopted a Portman, R-Ohio, amendment to a bill that would immediately allow TransCanada to construct, connect, operate and maintain the pipeline and cross-border facilities known as the Keystone XL pipeline. The amendment would would direct the General Services Administration to establish best practices regarding energy-efficiency in commercial real estate buildings, including those that house federal agencies. It would require the GSA to incorporate energy-efficiency standards into its building leasing program for federal agencies.
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Sen. David Perdue voted YES
Energy efficient planning from the people who couldn't two sentences in a row that have congruent meaning. Of course they are all for it, there is no there there to understand.
Recent House Votes:
Gas Pipeline Permit Deadlines – Passage, Vote Passed (253-169, 11 Not Voting)
The House passed a bill that would require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to approve or deny a natural gas pipeline project within one year after receiving a completed application. Federal agencies responsible for issuing permits would have to issue a ruling within 90 days of when FERC issues its final environmental statement for the project.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
Why do they have to vote on when they are going to vote. Heck they are politicians, they can make a promise with a vote and then ignore the damned thing later. It's moronic, I would have voted against it just for it stupidity. And these guys are going to set efficiency standards?
Federal Abortion Funding Ban – Passage, Vote Passed (242-179, 12 Not Voting)
The House passed a bill that would permanently prohibit the use of federal funds, facilities or staff to provide abortion coverage and services, except in cases of rape or incest and for saving the life of the woman. It also would prohibit individuals and small business from receiving federal subsidies and small businesses from receiving federal subsidies and tax credits under the 2010 health care overhaul to purchase plans that cover abortions.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
I would have voted yes but have no problem with David Scott's vote if it was a personal choice. Problem is I don't think it is a personal choice. That makes him a lemming.
Upcoming Votes:
Keystone XL Pipeline - S1
The Senate will consider a bill that would immediately allow TransCanada to construct, connect, operate and maintain the pipeline and cross-border facilities known as the Keystone XL pipeline.
Hell yeah!
Human Trafficking Prioritization Act - HR514
The House will consider a bill to prioritize the fight against human trafficking within the Department of State according to congressional intent in the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 without increasing the size of the Federal Government.
Smells like one of those useless 100% votes to me.
LNG Permitting Certainty and Transparency Act - HR351
The House will consider a bill to provide for expedited approval of exportation of natural gas.
Why this has not happened already is a mystery to me. The President has been resisting this as have the Democrats, a bill that would put another arrow in the State Department's quiver, for applying pressure on the Russians in Europe.
