Recent Senate Votes:
K-12 Education Reauthorization, Passage Vote Agreed to (85-12, 3 Not Voting)
The Senate cleared the conference report on the bill that reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 for four years, through fiscal 2020, and modifies programs and policies throughout the law with the overall goal of giving states, school districts, schools, teachers and parents greater control over all aspects of elementary and secondary education. It maintains some federal oversight of state programs through the Education Department's ability to approve state plans for the use of federal funds, but it places strong restrictions on department actions and control.
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES
Sen. David Perdue voted YES
I suspect that end result will be enduring Federal government control all to a negative result. Doesn't matter what they say their intention is, the underlying purpose to total control and they could give a damn if the effect is improvement, in truth, failure is almost preferable.
Recent House Votes:
Visa Waiver Program, Passage Vote Passed (407-19, 7 Not Voting)
The chamber passed legislation that prohibits individuals who have been to specified nations such as Syria and Iraq from entering the United States unless they are interviewed by U.S. officials and get a regular visa, even if they are from countries that participate in the Visa Waiver Program.
Rep. David Scott voted YES
The scumbags follow this up with passing everything the President asked for in the budget. They are only pretending that they care about the immigration complaints, they want more voters dependent on the government.
Red River Private Property, Passage Vote Passed (253-177, 3 Not Voting)
The House passed a bill that requires the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to sell to current and adjacent landowners the roughly 30,000 acres of federal land along the Red River, which forms part of the border between Texas and Oklahoma.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
Little surprise David Scott's vote. Why would a Democrat ever vote for diminished government
control. Knowing this President there could be a project in the works, something like a weigh station for collecting entry fees from wetbacks.
Trade Enforcement, Passage Vote Passed (256-158, 19 Not Voting)
The House agreed to the conference report on the bill that includes numerous provisions to facilitate trade and improve U.S. trade enforcement, including formally establishing the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency and enhancing its authority, including authorizing an automated system for the agency to process imports and exports. It also makes permanent the ban on state and local taxation of Internet access and phases out the taxes imposed in seven states in which they were grandfathered.
Rep. David Scott voted NO
My guess is that the tax blockade is at issue for our little Democratic Representative.

Great, another delay for my wife's green card so they can verify she hasn't been to Iraq or Syria. We've been married 10 years and have an 8 year old son. She's a Christian Indonesian national. We've been in the residency visa process for one year already and the process has not graduated to an interview. Even from there, it's another month. Her mother has cervical cancer and my wife can not leave the US because she is "illegal". Her entry permit expired nine months ago. Leaving the US will earn her a five year ban on re-entry.
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a way that I could help you. The problems you describe are witness to a government that pays lip service to obvious need. Lack of execution on review and approval is the basis of complaint for most of my ilk. Folks that are carefully reviewed and vetted are welcome. A government that cannot efficiently vet a spousal application has no business increasing the load on an overtaxed system.
