My Senators voted yea
- Thread starter ladder13
- Start date
Regretably, both "girls" from WA voted yea...but that is expected from them.
I didn't - nor ever will - vote to support either of these two. They do whatever the party tells them to do, don't care a bit about wants and needs of the folks of the state.

Oregon needs two new senators, preferably with the letter R next to their name.
Wisconsin - one of each (no suprise here)
I hope this is allowed.... an email I received from Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio:
I wanted to give you an update on where the Senate stands on gun control. Yesterday, I voted to defeat a number of proposals that I believe would have curtailed your Second Amendment rights while failing to accomplish their stated objective—reducing access to firearms for violent criminals.
I opposed the Manchin-Toomey amendment which would have expanded background checks for most private sales and transfers of guns. I also opposed amendments to limit the magazine capacity of firearms and to ban certain weapons based primarily on how they look. I do not believe these measures will reduce gun violence. What these measures will do, however, is infringe on the constitutionally guaranteed rights of law-abiding citizens.
Yesterday, I did support an amendment to allow state reciprocity for concealed carry licenses. This amendment would allow the nearly 250,000 Ohioans with concealed carry privileges to exercise that privilege in other states that allow concealed carry. I also supported the Grassley amendment to enhance school safety, increase enforcement of current laws, and address mental illness in a responsible way, and the Burr amendment to ensure that veterans aren't unfairly restricted from gun ownership.
And as I noted in my recent column on the Second Amendment, I remain committed to working with my colleagues to find solutions to address gun violence in our country that are both effective and do not infringe the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans
.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact my office. I will keep you updated as legislation impacting your Second Amendment rights moves forward. For more information, please visit my website at www.portman.senate.gov. Please keep in touch.
All best,

Happily both no as we would expect. After all, this is TEXAS. Right up the road about 15 miles is an old mission where 186 men died for freedom so why would our senators be any different

My two in Virginia voted yes but, what can you expect from a puppet. Have notice lately that their noses are getting a little browner.

Both voted 'Yea'. Both need to be gone. Got a form letter from Merkeley, said he studied the situation & voted with the Demos. Watched the POTUS rant & rave about the NRA influence. Did my heart good to see the guy speak without his teleprompter stutter & stammer. I'm Endowment Life Member NRA.
God Bless Texas.

Nobody from KY has checked in yet. But there probably isn't much need to to that. McConnell and RAND PAUL can be relied upon to define the correct way to vote. I've gained so much confidence in them I'm even beginning to trust them.

Alaska 2 Nays
Murkowski (R) Nay
Begich (D) Nay He's up for re-election, so I'm guessing he had permission from his handlers to vote Nay so he has a chance to get re-elected (hopefully not, he normally votes democrat party lines)
