So I emailed and called the DSCC, and told them I’d consider parting with some cash if – and only if – Dems defeat the FISA bill tomorrow. Just one more call/email won’t kill you: Phone (202) 224-2447 Fax (202) 969-0354 Email: info@dscc.org Harry Reid: (202) [...]
Article by missy on February 7th, 2008 at 9:54 am By a single vote, Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked an expansive fiscal stimulus package championed by Democrats, as partisan rancor engulfed the effort to inject a quick burst of spending into the slowing economy. … The measure was opposed by Republican leaders who said the Democrats added too many costly provisions, including an extension of unemployment benefits, tax credits for the coal industry* and increased subsidies for [...] | |
