Recent Senate Votes:
Human Trafficking Victims' Fund - Passage Vote Passed (99-0, 1 Not Voting)
The Senate passed a bill that would establish a Domestic Trafficking Victims' Fund, to which both new criminal penalties and, as amended, matching funds from already appropriated money for community health centers would be transferred. Amounts originating from criminal fines would be prohibited from being used for health care or medical services.
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Sen. David Perdue voted YES
I guess this is what they meant by "provide justice". Justice today means you get something. Not augmenting the punishment for  the offenders, or death for the guilty. No make them pay. Politicians suck.

Lynch Nomination – Cloture Vote Agreed to (66-34)
The Senate agreed to a motion to invoke cloture, thus limiting debate, on President Obama's nomination of Loretta E. Lynch of New York to be Attorney General.
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted NO
Sen. David Perdue voted NO
The Georgia boys voted no, but I sense that if the vote was needed they would have flipped. The Senate led by McConnell is a bunch of weenies. Holder had no business being in office after all of the obstruction eh has practiced, an now this clone.

Recent House Votes:
Consumer Financial Protection Advisory Boards – Passage Vote Passed (235-183, 13 Not Voting)
The House passed a bill that would formally establish three advisory boards with which the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) must consult on matters regarding small businesses, credit unions and community banks. The measure is offset by limiting funding for the CFPB in future years.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
Not sure what that means but an underlying principle holds that politicians are ill equipped to protect citizens economically and in many cases do more harm than good.

Upcoming Votes:
Protecting Volunteer Firefighters and Emergency Responders Act - H.R.1191
The bill would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to ensure that emergency services volunteers are not taken into account as employees under the shared responsibility requirements contained in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
IRS and the ACA, its all bad acronyms.

Fiscal 2016 Senate Budget Resolution - S.Con.Res.11
The House may take up the conference report for the concurrent resolution that would set forth the congressional budget for the United States government for fiscal year 2016 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2017 through 2025.
It is amusing how they pretend to be projecting out ten years.
