What happened with the Boxer amendment on pesticide testing? |
|
Had something to do and when I came back Stevens from Alaska was having another minimeltdown about something else.

I think broadcasting that one far and wide to the right to lifers is worthwhile.
It just kills me that constantly the true "Right to life" people are the ones who protect pro-choice.
Mr. "let's protect fertilized eggs in petri dishes that will be thrown away anyway" has no problems testing pesticides on babies.
Truly amplifies the real manipulation of the anti-abortion vote.

5. The portion of the arguments on behalf of the chemical industry |
|
was truly unbelievable. How Burns could get up there and support this or anyone could vote for it is beyond me.

6. is there a "corporate party" voting record grade? |
|
I've seen overall grading on environmental votes, immigration votes, (i.e. Senator Kennedy gets an "f" grade on immigration, Loft gets an "F" grade on environment) done by "single issue" organizations like the Sierra club. etc...but I don't think I've seen an statistical tally on "corporate party" votes... like this one, the bankruptcy bill and others that are clearly the only way you're going to vote for it is because of your corporate donors.
Which leads me to something else...anybody out there really doing a lobby to demand TV and cable give free air time to political campaigns?
This would really help in being dependent upon big money to get elected.
