Senate Passed Amendment Supporting General Petraeus and U.S. Troops
ACU Legislative Action Center ^ | September 20, 2007 | Staff

Posted on 09/20/2007 1:40:54 PM PDT by yoe

25 Democrats Voted against it and 3 Democrats didn't vote!

We are pleased to announce that the Senate voted and passed the Cornyn Amendment condemning detestable attacks on General Petraeus and U.S. Armed Forces!

By a vote of 72-25 (3 not-voting), the Senate passed the Cornyn Amendment that strongly condemns any effort to attack the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all members of the U.S. Armed Forces. This Amendment also sends a clear message to the U.S. Armed Forces, letting them know that MoveOn.org and their liberal cohorts in the Senate do not speak for the majority of Americans.

However, 25 Democrats voted AGAINST this amendment that supports the U.S. Armed Forces and 3 Democrats didn't even take the time to vote!

Look at this list and if your Senator voted against the amendment, please use the below form to tell them that you are disappointed in their vote on the Cornyn Amendment on H.R. 3074. If they are not listed below, send them an email using the below form to thank them for supporting the amendment.

SENATORS WHO VOTED AGAINST THE AMENDMENT:
Akaka (D-HI), Bingaman (D-NM), Boxer (D-CA), Brown (D-OH), Byrd (D-WV), Clinton (D-NY), Dodd (D-CT), Durbin (D-IL), Feingold (D-WI), Harkin (D-IA), Inouye (D-HI), Kennedy (D-MA), Kerry (D-MA), Lautenberg (D-NJ), Levin (D-MI), Menendez (D-NJ), Murray (D-WA), Reed (D-RI), Reid (D-NV), Rockefeller (D-WV), Sanders (I-VT), Schumer (D-NY), Stabenow (D-MI), Whitehouse (D-RI), and Wyden (D-OR)

“The usual suspects.”

Yep. It is also a good picture of what states are in our corner and which states are in theirs....LOL. Kind of makes all those ‘polls’ unfavorable to republicans suspect imho.

"Hillary Clinton had a choice. She could stand with our troop commander in Iraq, or she could stand with the libelous left wing of her party. She chose the latter. The idea that she would be a credible commander-in-chief of our armed forces requires the willing suspension of disbelief."

Mitt Romney today in response to the glacier's vote.

I love the way the headline is written. Factual but slanted. The NYT version will read, GOP Votes to Censor Americans.

Half the Republicans are the same - they are just too smart to vote that way.

Obama came to the Senate floor and when he saw what they were voting on he left.

What an effing moron that weasel is.

Rockefeller (D-WV) has been so quiet lately. He used to be on the Sunday shows, but I have not seen him in quite a while.

I am listening to 'Sabotage', and the memo that Sean disclosed is mentioned. Is this why?

That and....I would GUESS (I repeat GUESS) that Rocky is under investigation as a leaker to the NYTimes on the Terrorist Surveillance Program. This is only a guess, but I do believe he was involved.

Thanks, that shows me who is more afraid of MOVEON than of
Al Quida. What a disgrace these people are.

But, but, but, the Marxist Dimocrats of the People’s Abortion Approving and Homosexual Fag Loving Socialist’s Party support the troops. They have said so millions of times. Stinking SOBs.
