How do I get a list of all the lawmakers who voted for dream act?

Question

We need to target each of these people for removal from office the next time they come due for reelection...regardless of their party.


I find it outrageous what these people are trying to do.

Answer 1

I would like to see it also. However, even though I agree with you on this issue, I will not be voting any one out for their view on a single issue.

Answer 2

Twelve Republicans joined most Democrats in voting to proceed.

Two of the Republican senators in competitive races next year, Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota and Susan Collins of Maine, voted to push ahead with the bill.

But two other GOP senators in tight races, John Sununu of New Hampshire and Gordon Smith of Oregon, voted against it.

People in Montana 'outraged'
Sen. Max Baucus of Montana — who is up for re-election next year — said the Dream Act was “huge, huge” as an issue on the minds of people in his state.

“People are very upset, they’re outraged; it’s like amnesty, it’s virtually the same” he said after casting his “no” vote.

Mail, phone calls, and e-mail on the issue pouring into his office were “off the wall,” Baucus said.

Most Montanans, he said, believed the bill would have given an unfair benefit to illegal immigrants.

Baucus’s freshman Democratic colleague from Montana Sen. Jon Tester also voted “no,” as did another freshman Democrat, Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri.

Southern Democrats Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Robert Byrd of West Virginia all voted against the Dream Act.

Most analysts see Landrieu as the most endangered Senate Democrat up for re-election next year.

Pryor, too, is up for re-election in 2008.

Republican presidential contender Sen. John McCain of Arizona was absent for the vote, even though he’d been present for a vote just an hour earlier on the nomination of appeals court judge Leslie Southwick.
