WASHINGTON — Both Ohio senators voted Thursday to close the door — and essentially kill — a major overhaul of immigration laws, serving up a stinging rebuke to President Bush, who had pushed for the bill’s passage.

“I want an immigration bill that secures our borders, revises and updates our current laws to respond to our economic needs and brings the 12 million illegal aliens in our country out of the shadows. I am not convinced that this legislation meets those criteria,â€

Word has it that they got more calls, e-mails and faxes than any other Senators. They didn't vote out of conscience, but fear. I'm a native Buckeye and know that Ohio had a lot to lose on this deal, more than many states. I would vote both of these bums out even though they changed their votes, especially that arrogant Voinovich!
