Handy Dandy Guide To Big Spending Votes
Yep, it’s finally here. A guide to every member of the House of Representatives’ voting record on HUGE spending bills. Take a look at how your state’s rep is voting on the bills a vast majority of folks have decried for the past two years.
Since we live in Tennessee, I have a screen shot of those from our state. (Go look up your own state. 
)
I found this useful little guide through this story from World Net Daily.
You asked for it! The big-spender scorecard
Find out right now which ‘bums’ supported bailouts, cap and trade, health ‘reform’
Tea partiers now have a new, simple guide for when they have questions about how their lawmakers voted on controversial measures such as the TARP bill, auto bailout, cap and trade, food regulations and health-care reform bill.
A new congressional scorecard details votes by House members on key measures, many of which have been cited by the tea-party movement as evidence of growing federal government control and excessive spending.
The scorecard, created by Army Reserve veteran Dave Kittley using information from Govtrack.us, also features a red label next to each member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, or CPC, the largest caucus within the Democratic caucus in Congress.
I, for one, appreciate all the work that must have gone into pulling this chart together. Puts thing is a much clearer perspective, IMHO.
CPC was set up in 1991 by then-Rep. Bernie Sanders, in conjunction with Democratic Socialists of America and the far left Institute for Policy Studies. Its statement of purpose reads:
“The Progressive Caucus is organized around the principles of social and economic justice, a non-discriminatory society and national priorities which represent the interests of all people, not just the wealthy and the powerful.
Our purpose is to present thoughtful, practical solutions to the economic and social problems facing America. Our people-based agenda extends from job creation to job training, to economic conversion, to single payer healthcare reform, to adequate funding for the AIDS crisis, to environmental reform, and to women’s rights. …”
The CPC promotes a strong “progressive agenda,” what it calls “The Progressive Promise – Fairness for All.”
So, what we have here is a “congress” inside the Congress, pushing socialist agendas? Note that “in conjunction with Democratic Socialists of America” part. Want a REAL “education, check out their ‘youth’ newsletter, THE RED LETTER. And these are the people PUSHING the agenda? Anyone else want to tell me there is no socialist take over going on??? Lock and load!
You can read the rest of the piece here, and come to your own conclusions. There is a pretty good round up, touching on what each of the bills in question covers.
