also, I hope I'll find out eventually how they all vote.

This is why pressure must be applied to our House reps to be prepared to kill it with fire and put it out with (urine).

Due to high volume, Senator Blumenthal’s office is only able to receive online messages from his constituents. If you are writing from outside of Connecticut, and wish to contact the Senator, please send a letter to the Senator’s mailing address.

many really naughty words in his direction.

wojownik; thanks for the committee link. I see that my Senator Flake is on it. I just filled out an email to him asking him to oppose it.

Lateck,

Harry Reid isn't dumb, he would like to avoid having this bill reaching the senate floor if there is almost no chance of it passing the house later on. Supporting the bill could be disasterous for Democratic senators in pro-gun states. They don't want to lose control of the senate in 2014 over this.

It would be poetic justice to see this bill just languish and never make it out of committee, but if it does make it to a vote, it could be a blessing in disguise if the above scenario plays out.

Exactly what that evil bastard is afraid of and rightly so ....

I wish somebody would put that lying liberal old cow into an Obamacare old folks home to rot out the rest of years. She is cancer on the face of the government and is a truly bad person.

(Sorry, I know it's not exactly THR.)

Leahy and Franken could vote to keep this bottled up in the committee, if they're told to do so by Harry Reid. It's no accident that Reid caved on filibuster reform. He wants the excuse of not being able to reach a 60-vote threshold, so that he doesn't have to deal with the gun issue before the next Senate election. Ed Schultz on MSNBC noticed the connection between filibuster reform and guns on his program last night.
