Recent Senate Votes:
Keystone XL Pipeline, Passage Vote Passed (62-36, 2 Not Voting)
The Senate passed 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, including any revision to the pipeline route within Nebraska as required or authorized by the state. It also would consider the January 2014 environmental impact statement issued by the State Department sufficient to satisfy all requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act and the Endangered Species Act.
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Sen. David Perdue voted YES
Well let us see where this goes.
Recent House Votes:
Liquefied Natural Gas Exports, Passage Vote Passed (277-133, 23 Not Voting)
The House passed a bill that would require the Energy Department to make a decision on pending applications to export liquefied natural gas within 30 days of the bill's enactment or at the end of the public comment period, whichever is later. Under the bill, applications would have to publicly disclose the countries that would receive the proposed exports.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
This is a good thing for the country, that our congressman would vote against it is a statement of where the Democratic party's leadership head is at. To ship liquefied natural gas to Europe would put some pressure on Russia's Putin, stop him from blackmailing his energy customers. The President does not even offer a reason as to why he resists this.
Upcoming Votes:
Clay Hunt SAV Act - HR203
The Senate will consider a bill to direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to provide for the conduct of annual evaluations of mental health care and suicide prevention programs of the Department of Veterans Affairs and to require a pilot program on loan repayment for psychiatrists who agree to serve in the Veterans Health Administration of the Department of Veterans Affairs
I want to read more on this subject before having an opinion. The loan repayment plan sounds like a plan to recruit mental health care workers. Increases in staffing rather than rationing and procrastination to spread patient load would be the high road. Let's give the veteran's the attenntion they deserve.
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Repeal - HR596
The House will consider a bill to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and health care related provisions in the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. The bill would require four House committees to develop health care legislation to replace the law.
I wish this was serious.
