Once again WA Senators vote with the republiCons and kill a bill designed to limit
Credit card rates for banks. The Democrats have a majority but some still vote with republiCons. We need to oust Murray and Cantwell. They vote against the middle class when we need them the most.

1. I'm not really suprised that Cantwell voted that way, but I AM a bit
surprised that Murray did. I thought she had a better head on her shoulders than that.

3. I returned Murray's donation request
--with a note that she didn't need my money because she obviously got so much more from bankers.

4. That vote surprised me
I checked at opensecrets.org, and neither of them are getting significant money from banks or other financial outfits. I'd really like to know the back story on this one. Has anyone called either of their offices to ask?

5. Yeah, and I'm plenty pissed about it too...
As some people might have realized by now.
