target reps and senators who are up for reelection , Rinos and red dog Dems especially the new ones.

All I’ve been doing is this last night and this morning, the only way we can get this to fail is to put as much pressure as possible on to these reps and senators.

Remind them that they are up for reelection and if they are a Dem remind them that they are supposed to be working for the country and you even if they are not your rep.

CSPAN host- “caller you are the third person who has mentioned ACORN in this bill, what's that all about?”

CSPAN host interviewing Jeff Flake, Flake has amendment to take out Amtrak money, host asks, “what's that about Amtrak in this bill? “

The GOP better hold the line on this. I wish I could say that with certainty.

"...”Republicans only want to give tax breaks to the rich and never want to give tax breaks to the poor.”

Obviously, the poor don't pay taxes. He means to say, "Republicans are not in favor of redistribution of income in support of a Socialist agenda."

11 amendments will be in order during Wednesday’s floor debate, including four from Republicans and one bipartisan proposal. An amendment from Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman James L. Oberstar , D‑Minn., would require that 50 percent of the money for transportation projects be obligated within 90 days. An amendment from four Democrats, including Jerrold Nadler of New York, would increase transit funding by $3 billion. A provision by Larry Kissell , D-N.C., would require the Department of Homeland Security to purchase certain uniforms from U.S. textile and apparel manufacturers. Republican Jeff Flake of Arizona will be allowed to offer an amendment striking Amtrak funding. Randy Neugebauer , R‑Texas, will offer an amendment that would strike all appropriations from the bill. And Republican leaders will also get an hour of debate on their tax-focused substitute bill.

I’m afraid the libs will win this one. :(

[TornadoAlley3]

sure, it will pass, we need the Republicans to vote no or abstain, stay away from it.

[NinoFan]

We’ll be lucky to see even that. I have such little faith in my party anymore.
