THIS CHART REFLECTS VOTES ON IMPORTANT HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUES

Home Run (H Run): This Congressperson took a stand for the American people. +10 points

AWOL: This Congressperson was AWOL when the American people needed him/her to take a stand. –7.5 points

Strike: This Congressperson voted or agreed to an outcome harmful to the American people, freedom and/or democracy. -10 points

N/L: The roll call record does not show this representative under any of the categories (yea, nay, not voting).2 representatives were not listed on the roll call on 1/6.A # is placed after their totals as it is based on one fewer vote than the other representatives. Representative Matsui was elected to fill the spot vacated when her husband passed and was not in Congress when the first five votes on the chart took place

PRESENT: This is a protest vote, often made by Congresspersons who know that they are outnumbered, and having no effect on the total for or against a bill. 0 points.

* : Those Congresspersons whose totals have an * had the intelligence to oppose HR 841, the Doomsday Plan (which plan could theoretically encourage a domestic terrorist attack). Because it only goes into effect in the event of a terrorist attack, it was not scored. Other groups might want to add 10 points to the scores of those having the * by their score.

#: Congresspersons with this notation joined the Congressional session late and can be expected to have a lower total than those without it.

Total: The accumulated points to date on major votes.

Previous votes:  (1/6/05-4/28/05)  (5/5/05-6/9/05)  (6/15/05-7/20/05B)  (7/20/05C-7/28/05C)  (9/14/05-9/29/05D)  (10/07/05-11/09/05B)  (11/17/05-12/19/05A)

Votes counted this page:

12/19/05B:  Roll Call 669 was the agreement on the conference report for the Department of Defense appropriations for the year ending 9/30/06.   As the only way to stop the killing in Iraq is to cut off the appropriations, the real cost for the passage of this bill is major loss of life. 

12/19/05C:  Roll Call 670 was the agreement to the conference report on the disastrous Budget Reconciliation Bill of 2006, which cut money for needed services to give extra money to rich looters of the American economy.
