A response I got from Tom Daschle's office was that Bill Frist won't allow a vote, so therefore they should do nothing.

My answer is that they should at least try.

If that's their attitude then why are they even bothering... if they're just going to cave... I swear these bastards make me so sick someimtes.

They'll put up a fight over Medicare prescription coverage but not THE CHENEYING RIGHT TO HAVE OUR VOTES COUNTED?!
