Votes counted this page:

7/20/05D: HR 2601 is the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, which includes indefinite (possibly permanent) continuation of the war in Iraq, continuation of the Guantanamo torture camp, funding to propagandize against Hugo Chavez in continued efforts to overthrow the legitimate government of Venezuela, racist condemnations of the Palestinians and what appears to be funding for the School of the Americans (a terrorist organization which teaches governments how to torture their own citizens).

7/21/05A: Roll Call 405 gives those enforcing the unconstitutional PATRIOT Act power to execute Americans under this attack on American's freedom.

7/27/05B: HR 3283 (the United States Trade Rights Enforcement Act) places corporations above people and above the environment by calling for a U.S. expanded role in the WTO, an organization that is responsible for an increase in child slave labor, violations of human rights and much of the destruction of the planet.

7/28/05A: This was the vote on CAFTA, another trade agreement that sends jobs out of the United States for child slave laborers, who work in sub-standard conditions in other contries, and that prevents more governments from enforcing their own environmental and labor laws.

7/28/05B: Roll Call 445 was the agreement to the conference report on the energy bill. It was the last chance oppose this dangerous bill and to stand up for the environment and for human health and safety and against the theft of U.S. Taxpayers' dollars for Halliburton by just voting "nay." This bill deprives younger and future generations of the right to live in a safe, non-toxic world..

7/28/05C: HR 5 makes it more affordable for hospitals and doctors to malpractice and terminate otherwise healthy patients. Instead of requiring insurance companies to do their job, it places all financial losses on victims who can now lose their homes and everything they own (along with their lives) because of medical mistakes or inhumane medical decisions.
