Families of Sept. 11 victims will keep a “watchdog” list of any members of Congress who oppose legislation implementing changes recommended by the 9/11 commission, they said Wednesday.

“We’re going to watch events unfold in Congress, and we want America to watch as well,” said Lorie Van Auken, who lost her husband at the World Trade Center and is a member of the Family Steering Committee, activist families who forced creation of the independent commission to investigate the attacks.

“We need to have a list of the lawmakers,” she said. “... We need to follow who’s opposing and disagreeing and why.”

Talk of keeping public track of contrary members of Congress comes even before legislation has been offered to implement the recommendations, a sign of how intent some Sept. 11 families are to maintain the momentum of public opinion on the issue and to prompt quick changes.

“This watchdog list, this report card, it’s a shame that it’s come to this, but we want to work with everyone to ensure that people aren’t just feigning cooperation,” said Kristen Breitweiser, who has become one of the most visible advocates among outspoken Sept. 11 families.

Riders. Guaranteed those fucking jackass, piece of shit Republicans will stick poison pill riders to these bills for the SOLE purpose of making it look like Democrats are voting against 9/11 reforms.
