Here are the Nays from the House MoveOn vote today and a great speech from Tom Allen (D-ME) |
|
(both from 'kos) First what Tom Allen (who's running against S.Collins for Senate) had to say:
"I respect General Petraeus and honor all of our troops. They have done a phenomenal job and done everything that we have asked of them. General Petraeus is a soldier who simply takes orders from the Commander-in-Chief, President Bush.
Unfortunately the President and his Republican allies in Congress have continued to order General Petraeus and the rest of our troops to continue fighting. What we need is a plan to bring our troops home.
I voted against this resolution today because I believe it is the job of the Congress to bring our troops home, not legislate free speech."
And the nays. There were too many yeas to reasonably paste.

That's my number 1 Senate race. Number two being Udall in CO. Really, really like Allen, love the speech. I only wish my Rep (Welch) had a clue.
