Does anyone know which House members

[Goldeneye]

prevented HR 2239 (makes paper trail mandatory) from being voted on? Were any of them running for reelection in states with no paper trail?

1. ROBERT W. NEY, STENY HOYER, MITCH MCCONNELL, CHRISTOPHER J. DODD

HAVA authors oppose federal legislation to require "paper trail"

Basically, Ney refused to allow the bill to come to the floor. After tremendous amounts of public pressure, they issued that letter and continued to stonewall us.

3. I'm telling ya, it's ugly.

I see these posts about "who is changing party and who is hanging tight" and then I look at some of the conduct of the electeds and consultants, and really have to consider the merits of other partys.

4. Chris Dodd is a Dem, too.

And he gave one of the speeches on 1/6.

Maybe he feels bad and is trying to make up with us..
