This clause clearly designated "local welfare" specific to Nebraska. It should be immediately challenged by Republicans before Nelson votes, so that he knows that he'll be getting none of the pork promised him once the bill is challenged in the Supreme Court.
Hahahahaha! The Constitution... how quaint.
"Ben" Nelson, not "Bill." Bill Nelson is the Dem senator from Florida, Ben Nelson is from Nebraska.
Your statement should be sent to all the Republican Senators. Maybe someone will get the right idea.
The whole thing is unconstitutional - why should an unconstitutional amendment slow things down?
Besides - they will probably strip this in conference anyway - don’t they only need 51 votes to pass the combined version?
No State or District should be exempt from this if it is passed. These state deals are utter BS and only compound the problem for the other States liable to pick up what the exempt States will not have to pay.
Nelson's not an idiot. He knows he won't get a dime of those funds. This is all a charade so he can sell his vote back home, nothing more.
The whole forsaken thing is unconstitutional and so is the Kenyan born freak who pretends to lead our nation, but that doesn’t stop this crooked bunch on of democrats. This is the most corrupt bunch of politicians our nation has ever known. They are third world. They commit fraud in the open. They are shameless.
How are these turncoats going to go out in public after this?Providing security for the bums would seem to be a huge undertaking after a betrayal of this magnitude.
Call, email, fax (this is my favorite option), visit these five senators. Do it now - before the 8:00 est vote in the Senate.

There are no shame or rules for the new Communists Party (formally the Democratic socialists party). Nelson is a member of this new Communists Party, so nothing new.
Can we say ‘High Crimes and Misdemeanors’ yet?
Article I, Sections 2 and 3, and Article II, Section 4, which indicates the grounds for impeachment: “the President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
Abuse of power and dereliction of duty are flying high in Obama’s DC right now and it’s time to take our country back.
Medicare and Medicaid are both unconstitutional, that didn’t stop them from being enacted.
Obama is unconstitutional. He’s a USURPER. A marxist muslim America-hating faggot illegal alien. The congress and courts have not looked into that.....they won’t look into this.
ried as satan’s slime has every right to promise him everything. nelson, stupid and a slime licker, has every right to accept. the deal was done between to consenting underworld creatures.
Can Coburn ask that every page of the bill be read as he did last week on that amendment? Sure hope he can and does.
