A Veteran and/or have a family and/or have grandchildren? Wondering who to vote for in November? The $1.1 trillion spending bill passed the Senate on Friday with a vote of 72-26. All 26 votes against the bill came from Republicans while 17 so-called Republicans voted in support of the bill that increased government spending. A vote to pass the bill is a slap in the face of Veterans because it resulted in a decrease in promised pensions; also, a vote to pass the bill increases the National Debt to a historical high above $18 Trillion which endangers our children and grandchildren. These people deserve to be replaced on their next election cycle for shortchanging our veterans and our heirs. Conversely, a vote against the bill represents those who are most concerned about broken promises to our vets and the debt that will be passed to our children and grandchildren. These people deserve, and should get, our support at the ballot box for trying to contain runaway government spending and trying to make our government live up to the promises made to our vets. The following is a list of Republicans and how they voted. Sens. Saxby Chambliss (Ga.) (retiring and not running for reelection in 2014) and Tom Coburn (Okla.) (retiring and not running in November, 2014) did not vote. Remember: ALL representatives are presumed running for reelection in 2014 except as noted!
