Congress Passed Legislation To Allow Foreign Ports Deal

[LegalUSCitizen]

Did everyone hear about this ? Today Congress past legislation to allow the management of our ports to foreign nations.

Yes this is the same thing we made them cancel a couple of months ago and today, while we were busy watching the war, our Congress did this to US.

We will post the information under News asap.

It seems the name of the game of this administration and our congress is to "get it done, while they are distracted".

[Jean]

Yep, Lou Dobbs mentioned it too and was disgusted with 'our congress' as usual. Surely a newspaper somewhere will cover it (or will they?).

Totally predictable. The game is distraction to work their destruction. I swear I am so paranoid that if a significant event occurs I don't watch it but start looking in every other direction.

You would think we would learn but we don't.

[Iig]

If we don't file a lawsuit to challenge the constitutionality of this open act of treason, then we really are pathetic and then we do have the government we deserve. I feel like I'm watching pod-people impersonating our Senators.

It's bad people, it's bad. We must stay motivated and engaged, we cannot get lazy. I know the heat makes it hard to stay focused, but we have to stay on point.

Same with watching magicians!

Lou said, he is going to post how all the congressmen voted on this on his site later tonight.

[Skippy]

Has the Senate voted on this yet? The House passed it today by a 221-205 vote. Majority were Republicans that voted for it.

Lou said, he is going to post how all the congressmen voted on this on his site later tonight.

He already did.

If I could figure out how to post a formatted listing here, I'd do it.

For now, you can got to http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2006/roll392.xml

At least Tancredo's still on the right side. Not many others are, though.

Yes, I fought with them on this deal as well. They say they are for one thing and then do the opposite. i guess they forgot that the elections are in November.

I was glad to see that Charles Taylor voted no and even flip Flopin Robyn Hayes voted No. The rest didn’t fair so well. Most of those that supported CFTA also supported this bill.
