Recent Senate Votes:

Federal Government Funding Passage, Vote Agreed to (78-20, 2 Not Voting)
The Senate passed the bill to provide funding for federal government operations until December 11. The measure does not include any provisions that would defund Planned Parenthood. It directs the Homeland Security Department Inspector General to review the data and methods used by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to classify personnel as law enforcement officers, and requires TSA to reclassify any staff of the Office of Inspection that are currently misclassified.
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Sen. David Perdue voted YES
Both of my Senators are dead to me, so the only thing I am concerned with is getting rid of the Republican hierarchy. Reasons are numerous but McConnell has to go. Leaders are needed to fight the President at all opportunities, even the one that will be losses. The concept of Senatorial behavior has passed. They have no respect because they are intentionally ignoring their constituencies.

Fiscal 2016 Military Construction-VA Appropriations Cloture, Vote Rejected (50-44, 6 Not Voting)

The Senate rejected a motion to invoke cloture on the McConnell, R-Ky., motion to proceed to the bill that would provide $77.6 billion for military construction and veterans' issues. The measure also would provide $8.1 billion overall for military construction projects and $163.8 billion for the Veterans' Affairs Department.
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Sen. David Perdue voted YES
More votes about stopping discussion. McConnell must be removed from leadership role.

Recent House Votes:

Women’s Health Passage, Vote Passed (236-193, 5 Not Voting)
The House passed legislation which allows states to exclude from a state's Medicaid contracts those medical providers who also perform abortions, thereby permitting states to deny non-abortion health care reimbursements to organizations such as Planned Parenthood. Specifically, it expands the exceptions for which a state is not required to provide reimbursement under its state Medicaid plans to medical assistance for services "by any individual or entity based on the individual's or entity's involvement in abortions."
Rep. David Scott voted NO
A no brainer vote for a Democrat lemming.

Federal Government Funding Passage, Vote Passed (277-151, 6 Not Voting)

The House agreed to concur in the Senate amendment to the House amendment to the Senate amendment to legislation, known as the “clean continuing resolution”, which provides funding for federal government operations until December 11. The measure does not include any provisions that would defund Planned Parenthood. It directs the Homeland Security Department Inspector General to review the data and methods used by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to classify personnel as law enforcement officers, and requires TSA to reclassify any staff of the Office of Inspection that are currently misclassified.
Rep. David Scott voted YES
Boehner should feel so proud, having led the Republican house from the promise of change to the state of subservience. He should have quit before he started.

Fiscal 2016 Defense Authorization Adoption, Vote Passed (270-156, 8 Not Voting)

The House adopted the conference report to accompany the bill that authorizes $604.2 billion for the Pentagon and defense-related programs for fiscal 2016 and allows $38.3 billion of the $89.2 billion in uncapped Overseas Contingency Operations funds to be used for additional base defense needs.

Rep. David Scott voted NO

To a Democrat no amount of money should go to the military if there is a hungry mouthed vote to be bought.

Victims of Iranian Terrorism Passage, Vote Passed (251-173, 10 Not Voting)

The House passed a measure that prohibits the President from waiving sanctions or refraining to applying sanctions pursuant to the Iran Nuclear Agreement until Iran pays the legal terrorism-related judgments it owes. Under the measure, the president must certify to Congress that the Iranian government has paid all of its outstanding judgments before sanctions against Iran could be lifted or assets released.

Rep. David Scott voted NO

Stupid, asinine vote. The ship has already sailed for the chicken hearted Republicans. For fun David Scott should have voted for the thing, it does not mean a thing.

Upcoming Votes:

Fiscal 2016 Defense Authorization - HR1735 The Senate is scheduled to work on the conference report to accompany the bill that would reauthorize appropriations for fiscal year 2016 for military activities of the Department of Defense and for military construction, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes.
Lately it seems that every budget change leads to more hardware and less support for the folks risking their lives.

Homebuyers Assistance Act - HR3192

The House is scheduled to debate a bill that would effectively delay until Feb. 1, 2016, implementation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's integrated rules regarding lender disclosures to consumers applying for home mortgage loans, prohibiting enforcement of the rules and lawsuits against lenders until then as long as the lender makes a good-faith effort to comply with the rules.

I smell banks pressuring their donation recipients.

Native American Energy Act - HR538

The House measure would provide for the expedited review and consideration of energy projects on Native American lands, and it would limit participation in required environmental reviews of such projects and requires that judicial reviews of all energy projects involving Indian tribes be considered by the D.C. District and Circuit courts.
Let the freaking Indians do what ever they want.

Repeal Oil Export Ban - HR702

The House legislation would allow the export of crude oil produced in the United States by removing the export ban imposed by the 1975 Energy Policy and Conservation Act (PL 94-163), and would prohibit U.S. officials from imposing or enforcing restrictions on U.S. crude oil exports.
I smell oil companies pressuring their donation recipients. That said, freer markets are generally good.
