Republicans Voting 'Nay'

Rep. Walter Jones [R, NC-3] Nay
Rep. David McKinley [R, WV-1] Nay
Rep. Ronald Paul [R, TX-14] Nay
Rep. Dennis Rehberg [R, MT-0] Nay

Seems the top one walter jones is from a district thats been democratic since 1899 to 1995
and if i am reading correctly mr jones was a democrat that turned republican to gain election in 1995.
His district looks to have a Unemployment rate of 9.7 percent, his voting record is with party 79 percent of votes..
Looks like a good candidate to co-sponsor to me..

One of the Representatives listed here can be scratched off the list for voting "yay" on any type of social program, much less an unemployment extension.
Representative Denny Rehberg [R-MT] recently referred to educational grants, in particular the Pell Grant, as the "new welfare of the 21st Century". He further goes on to state that these low income students will use their scholarships and graduate to food stamps, energy assistance programs and other welfare programs. I seriously doubt that he would endorse continuing unemployment benefits. If he voted "Nay" on Paul Ryan's proposed 2012 Budget, it is because he doesn't feel the cuts are deep enough. Of the other Representatives you mention, the only one you may have a shot at, and it is a long shot, is Ron Paul. I have provided a link to one of many articles relating to Rep. Rehberg's stance on college financial aid.

Hey Nutty, ...I just asked you since I know you've been a 99er longer than I have....Let's pray we don't end up in having to make desperate choices...nuttin2lose wrote:Hi Mobs, Gotta plan B I won t post here. If not plan C is to move into a friends shed on his property. No electricity, running water, but a place to be. Have permission to use it as a mailing address to get food stamps, and use of a grill to cook.
looks like you have friends that are willing to help ya! that's cool...that would be a great place for you to be, among good people..
That's nice of you Laramel
