How did your Senators and Reps vote on CROmnibus?

[MineralMan]

Both of my Senators and my Representative voted NO. I wrote to all three before the vote and asked them to Vote NO. But that's not why they voted that way. They voted that way because we elected three people who would vote that way. The people in Minnesota and in CD-4 in Minnesota elected those people.

They did a great job with their vote. How did your Senators and Congressional reps do? If they voted Yes, how will you replace them in the next election they stand in?

I can vote for my own representation, but I cannot vote for yours, unless you live where I do. It's not up to me to choose your Senators and representatives. I simply can't do anything about who gets elected where you live.

Local focus is the only answer. Local focus, local participation in the entire process and local GOTV. Nothing else will give us representation that truly represents us.

Something to keep in mind for 2016 and beyond, I think. Where I am, we'll continue to elect progressives. How about where you are? Let's hear your stories.

[BeyondGeography]

1. Gillibrand was a no, Schumer asked if it would marry him

[KT2000]

2. Patty Murray-Yes / Cantwell-No

Cantwell is turning out to be a very good senator with her votes.
Murray - used to work behind the scenes for Democratic principles but now she seems to be more of a power player.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

3. Just emailed Patty to say how disappointed (and, surprised) I was in her vote.

[KT2000]

7. good idea

I will do the same.

[femmocrat]

4. Bob Casey and Pat Toomey (PA) both voted Yes.

I had emailed Casey but figured Toomey was a lost cause. I also emailed our rep., but since he's an R, I didn't think there was much hope.

[MiniMe]

5. Maryland - Mikulski and Cardin both voted yes

My Rep who just lost to a repuke voted yes too, that is John Delaney. I wonder if part of that is because there are a lot of federal workers in MD.

[hifiguy]

6. i wonder how Rep. Ellison voted.

I generally trust him to do the right thing. Hats off to Amy and Al.

[MineralMan]

9. I didn't look but I'm sure he voted no.

[RobertEarl]

8. Now who's to blame?

They did not join with and support Obama. Are they traitors to the Obama?

And are they gonna start saying like MM did in a thread a few days ago that unless they all come together we will fly apart?

And is it really DU's fault?

[MineralMan]

11. That was my thread, and had nothing to do with this vote.

I support the people I mentioned and their votes.

[bigwillq]

10. Rep. DeLauro (D-CT) voted NAY

Sen. Blumenthal (D) voted NAY; Sen. Murphy (D) voted YAY.

[MineralMan]

12. Two out of three isn't bad.

Still, it wasn't unanimous.

[Rowdyboy]

13. My representative, Bennie Thompson, D-Mississippi voted NAY!

I'm sure my Republican senators did the opposite.

16. Booker & Menendez no. Chris Smith (GOP) yes

I was pleasantly surprised by my senators since both men have Wall Street ties. Chris Smith is a lost cause. I used to be in first Pallone's and then Holt's district but redistricting happened and I'm stuck with Smith. The Democrats didn't even try to defeat him.
