Quote:
In addition to Taylor, Rep. Jo Ann Davis, a Virginia Republican, also planned to vote against the measure. But Davis was traveling in her district and failed to get back in time.
“The intention was to be there. Again, she wasn’t able to get back in time because of the weather,� said Davis’ chief of staff Chris Connelly.

:?: William, is there anything that can and will be done about this? I don't see how this can go unanswered and uncounted. This is terrible.
We need an investigation of what "glich" happened on Charles Taylor's Vote. There may have been some "other" gliches. If the Congressman are entitle to vote at different locations and rely upon that mechanism which may prevent him from seeing the "boards", then he would expect his vote to count. THAT vote needs to be counted. These representatives are OUR REPRESENTATIVES.
WE DEMAND THAT TAYLOR'S NO VOTE BE COUNTED AND ADDED TO THE NAYS!!
WE DEMAND AN INQUIRY ON Jo Ann Davis and WHY SHE DIDN'T VOTE even arriving 30 minutes late. WHAT TIME DID SHE ARRIVE AT THE CAPITOL BUILDING EXACTLY?? DID she not know how important this vote was? What if the President was at the Jamboree would she have farted off the vote entirely?
This VOTE WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT VOTE OF THE YEAR SO FAR?
I demand a REVOTE!!
I demand a REVOTE!!
I demand a REVOTE!!
AND--Keep the President of the United States OUT OF THE CAPITOL BUILDING during the Vote. I. E. Keep all "spectators off the field", eh, so we can have a FAIR GAME!!
:evil:
Someone introduce a bill in the House of Representatives today to over-turn CAFTA!! Repeal it TODAY!!
CONGRESS, LISTEN UP!!
Attention House of Representatives:
Just introduce a bill that says, "Whereas under undue influence from the Executive Branch during the vote in the House of Representatives on CAFTA, the House of Representatives does hereby declare that the vote on CAFTA is hereby RESCINDED and is therefore, null, void and of no further consequence or merit with no binding authority on the American People or the United States of America."
JUST DO IT!! TODAY!!
:evil: IF THE VOTE WAS FOR 'YES' BUT THERE SEEMED TO BE A 'GLITCH', WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN THEN??Quote:

wait, do I see Florida vote count all over again :wink:
Yep....and don't forget the "fishy" stuff in Ohio in 2004 where the head of the Ohio Republican Party was involved in the company that provided the new "electronic voting machines" and who was quoted as having told Bushey Bomb, NOT TO WORRY ABOUT OHIO.
Well...that could mean he was going to get out the vote or it might have meant something else.... :wink:
The way things are going, I'm bettingon the "something else".
:)
My wife spoke with Howard Coble on the phone today and he confirmed that 'Charlie" was next to him when he voted. He also said that this has happened once before several years ago. I spoke with Patrice in Charles Taylor's office in DC who said that Mr. Taylor would be asking for an investigation but it is up to the speaker as to whether or not they will act on it.Quote:

[Issue Updates]
Statement from Rep. Taylor regarding CAFTA vote
“I voted NO on the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (DR-CAFTA) in the vote last night. I informed the Majority Leader and the Appropriations Chairman I was voting no, as I had informed my constituents I was voting no. Rep. Howard Coble and I voted “no� together. Due to an error, my “no� vote did not record on the voting machine. The Clerk’s computer logs verified that I had attempted to vote, but it did not show my “nay� vote. I am re-inserting my “No� vote in the record. But even with my NO vote re-inserted, the bill still passed.�
So Charles Taylor did vote. This sucks!!
Delay, you better order an investigation and count Charles Taylor's vote.
You have no choice if you are a Decent American.
We want that record to reflect 217-216.
We want a complete investigation.
We want, We want, We want. You do. You do. You do.
See how that works?
That's how it works in America!
:)
MY understanding is if Taylors vote had counted and JoAnn Davis had acutally voted no which she planned to do, the ovte would have been 216-216 and would have failed.
I know it sounds out there but I wonder now if Ms Davis wasnt delayed on purpose by someone. I dont put anything past these people.
There needs to be an investigation and CAFTA needs to be repealed.
They have had 'held-over voting' before, so why was it not allowed this time, considering the circumstances. Bush is a big-fat crook! He took the American people and SLAPPED US ALL IN THE FACE!Quote:

IMPEACH BUSH!!
The vote needs to be "rescinded". CAFTA is not law yet so it doesn't need to be repealed. It won't be law until the US Senate votes it again. The House of Representatives need to rescind their vote and vote again without any funny business or fish sticks floating around our Representatives.
Here is what I heard on the radio today: Congresswoman Davis was told that she could have a one on one with Bush at the Boy Scout jamboree. Bush stayed on the house floor to ‘encourage’ yes votes, meanwhile Davis was at the jamboree being told to wait a little while longer until it was too late for her to get back and vote.
Sounds like she was set up as well. All the papers around here are badmouthing Taylor as well for his NV. I guess that is what you get for going against the GOP.
Oh....how silly....she should have known she was being set up. THEY DID this on purpose. That's two votes tampered with...one vote not counted due to a "glich" and one vote held "hostage" at a Jamboree.
CAFTA did not legally pass the House of Representatives due to undue influence, fish sticks, tampering, and abuse of power by the Executive Branch and the GOP.
CAFTA can not pass the House of Representatives under these conditions.
Lets prepare to kill it in the US Senate but we need the Anti-CAFTA committee to start drawing papers now; introducing a slew of resolutions rescinding this vote; ordering investigations; and raising HELL!!
Remember, this Treaty is binding on the United States and the American People. This Treaty TRANSFERS our power of self-rule to a FOREIGN BODY. This Treaty is probably the most significant Treaty in the History of the United States and can not be allowed to pass without a mandate from the American People.
This Treaty can not be binding on us because a Maniac in the White House would like to "dismember" the United States and create a Great Hemisphere.
PROTEST PROTEST PROTEST PROTEST!!!!
:)
JUdy,
We need to protest, but CAFTA passed in the senate Last night 55-45
CLIKC TO SEE WHAT TRAITORS VOTED ON IT
We have to move on to the next battle.
WOW!! They got that on the calendar quick didn't they!
Well...I knew we'd lost the US Senate.
Still, I wanted a chance to "move" a few.
Sneaky Bastards!!
:( :( :( :( :(
Even if we defeat the FTAA, all the countries of South America can join CAFTA another 19 countries in fact.
That was a provision of CAFTA.
The Hemisphere as begun. I believe that is why Vicente was watching it so closely. He is from Colombia and they would not benefit from CAFTA otherwise.
