Does anyone know if they’ve been made available for all of us to see?

I read that reporters could look at them but not copy or take pictures of them. So, no...us pee-ons don't have any way to view them.

Schumer makes me sick. His reasoning for the housing bubble was predatory lending. Yeah, that’s it Chuck. It had nothing to do with the CRA and Clinton. It had nothing to do with Frank covering up for Fannie and Freddie.

Good call, moron!

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.

That should be faxed, in massive CAP letters to every Congressporker.

He really is a piece of work, isn’t he? Just lies with such ease.

Sounds like there is more than one RINO traitor in the caucus than Collins if Chuckie is released to vote no.

I think he is voting against a republican amendment to the bill..not the Pelosi Pork Bill itself.

Teddy Roosevelt Pegged the Democrats PORK...

“If an American is to amount to anything he must rely upon himself, and not upon the State; he must take pride in his own work, instead of sitting idle to envy the luck of others. He must face life with resolute courage, win victory if he can, and accept defeat if he must, without seeking to place on his fellow man a responsibility which is not theirs.”

Did you see Senator Barrasso on Fox - he said Obama was agreeing to requiring a 60 vote margin in the Senate indicating he has that many votes? This is not encouraging.
