I recently came across a website in which one could enter a zip code and look up one's senator's and representative, and see a simple summary of how they voted recently on various bills.

I know who my congress critters are . . . but I lost the link to the website, and I get too many hits when I try to google it.

Has anyone bookmarked a site like that?
Hank, if you go to the NRA-ILA Web site (click here) and then click on "Write your Representatives" you can enter your zip code to find your Senators and Representatives (Federal and State) and write to them through that site. You can sign up to be automatically notified by e-mail (click here) as to how your U.S. Congressmen voted on issues. You can also rat around on that Web site to find out what bills are coming up for consideration.

Lou Dobbs Tonight Show , website above , has a link to contact your Congress. He has been rallying against illegal immigration and the stupidity of our leaders? for several years.
Interesting and informative show to watch on CNN. MUCH DIFFERENT from the rest of CNN liberals. Dobbs is a Republican , conservative, and calls a spade a spade.
 
...the final destruction of what you knew as your country...

Took place on June 23, 2005 at the hands of Justices Stevens, Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg, and Breyer. Not from a Senate vote about immigration that'll never make it out of conference...

He is a blow hard, self appointed political pundit with no credentials. Where's the remote?

Please enlighten us with someone you consider an authority on illegal
immigration on television.
 
23 June 2005

Augustwest, I agree- it was the Eminent Domain Decision that was the final blow.

Just prior to that was the quaint little ruling that gave congress power to regulate the black market (specifically marijuana) and call it 'commerce'. Gave congress regulatory power over an illegal market that is essentially unregulatable.

Between these two rulings, the power of congress is essentially unchecked.

About the original topic: here's another way to look at it.
By party lines:
Dem 38 (total Dem’s in US Senate t time of vote:44, 38/44= 86%)
Rep: 23 (of 55, so 42%)
Ind: 1 (of 1)

By Border State,
Yeas:
CA: Boxer, Finestein
AZ: McCain,
NM: Bingaman, Domenici
TX: (none)

nays:
CA: (none)
AZ: Kyl
NM: (none)
TX: Hutchison, Cornyn

By state:
Yea’s:
Alabama
Alaska 2

At least the senators from TX seemed to show some integrity.

No differently than Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Wyoming. Colorado and West Virginia don't count the same, because each had one Senator not voting.

I am not sure about "show some integrity". Aside from meaning you agree with them, I don't doubt that other Senators were sincere in their votes, some maybe not so much.
 
yeah

i really hunted for the word to use in that statement: 'brains', 'loyalty', etc none seemed to fit.
Integrity in the sense of sincerity doesn't either.
maybe if we just use the word integrity in the sense of 'sticking together' it can pass- since both TX senators voted the same.

but you're right, there is no good word to describe what happened here.

Thin Black Line...

I'm not sure I understand the meaning of your last post.

My Senators -- in AR -- are a disgrace. I sent them the following email:
I'm extrememly disappointed by your votes in the Senate on the immigration issue. It is clear that you do not speak for the people of Arkansas on this issue. (The Rasmussen poll says that 77% of Arkansans favor enforcing current laws, rather than passing new ones.) Your vote to table the Ensign amendment was especially disappointing.

Moreover, you are clearly out of touch regionally, as both Senators in TX, OK, MO, and MS voted against S.2611.

I will remember your vote on this matter the next time you need my vote for reelection.

On a sidenote, the behavior of Congress over the FBI's search of Jefferson's office is disgraceful. Why do you all act like you think you are above the law? Watch for my bumper sticker the next time you come home to AR:

WARRANTS -- Too Good For Us, Not Good Enough for You

Basil L. Copeland Jr.
I then copied this to my US Representative to let him know how I expect him to vote (not that he's likely to listen to me).

But, if he is moved at all by the poll numbers I cite, who knows?
 
Biker and Wingman:

I agree that the only way our so called Representatives will ever begin to act upon what we tell them to do, is for them to go home for a term, and live among the problems their failures to do what we tell them, have created.

I hear a bunch of talk show guys saying "but the Democrats are worse", but how in the hell can they really believe that, if the Republicans are going to vote a straight Democrat party line?

No, they have to go home. But here is the difference in a Republican and a Democrat thought process. When a Democrat Representative does something improper, the Democrats support them by saying "it is a small matter". When a Republican Representative does something wrong, such as when Nixon was impeached, Republicans say "he needs to go", and they vote them out or support their removal. As an example recently, Delay, and Jefferson from Lousiana. The Democrat pundits have been writing articles about how he came from a poor background, and is just human for taking bribes. But compare it to Delay. He came from a poor background, and the Democrats just make fun of someone who was in the pest control business, and say he is a total crook, and mean spirited.

Republicans made a house rule, that a Republican had to resign if they thought he was a crook. The Democrats, want their guy to continue in office, after being caught with 90K worth of bribe cash stuffed in his freezer.

We have to get some Constitution party, or Liberatarian party people in there, or this country is done for. We have a huge problem. If Hillary gets control along with Schumer et al, we are done for. But if the Republicans are going to vote along left wing Democrat party lines, we as a country are done for.

The only remedy, is running them all out of office, and voting in some brick layers, gunsmiths, printers, computer programmers, etc. and completely bar lawyers from entry into office.
 
We here in Indiana are pretty much sc***ed. Neither of our senators has had to face any real opposition in a primary or general election for years. They both have the state-level political machines of their respective parties firmly in their pocket. Their PR outfits keep the local media dutifully churning out puff pieces and echoing their spin du jour.

Jeez! The Dems haven't even bothered to field an opponent for Lugar in November as of today. Is it any wonder that they both consider those seats to be their own little sinecures? Until we demonstrate to them that the only consequence that they truly fear is a real possibility, why should they care what the plebes think?

lucky you, congrats on having senators that come with SPINES, +1 if they are in the Republican party. both of my filthy, worthless Senate-critters voted in favor of Mexicans over Citizens.

Ohio, senators Dewine and Voinovich, both of whose destruction (politically), I will do my best to insure
