what I just told my reps staff when I called to ask for his "NO" vote.

They asked which provision I was against and I listed about four and then made the comment above.

1. Conscience extinction vs natural rejection

2. Thank you. We need to keep the heat on to stop this.

Too bad we have to fight our own president to do it but unfortunately here we are!

4. Maybe share some of the points in a post from yesterday with those you know?

I posted this yesterday and it wasn't popular, but it does cover some of what I think of as the most toxic points of this spending bill.

If you'd like to share the information with those you know, before they call their senators, it may help if they know what's in there. There's more in there than the big two (Dodd-Frank repeal and campaign finance free for all) to set our hair on fire.
