Stop Hating America

Bob Geiger lists the 38 Senators, Republicans all, who voted against implementing the recommendations of the 9-11 Commission and protecting the country from nefariousness. It was far more important to them that TSA screeners don't get limited union protections than that all Americans get homeland security protections. Got it.

Those Republicans voted against this:

• Enhanced information sharing between different branches of government and between federal, state, county and local governments.

• Interoperable Communications-provides funding to ensure that different branches of first responders (i.e. firefighters and police) can communicate with each other. Their inability to do cost lives on 9/11.

• Cracks down on loopholes in visa waiver law that enable terrorist travel.

• Strengthens biosurveillance, private sector preparedness

• Enhanced disclosure

That'll make a hell of an ad in 2008. Won't it, Sens. Sununu, Chambliss, Domenici, McConnell, and Hagel? (yes, Chuck Hagel, shining light to bipartisans everywhere, hates working people and doesn't want America to be safe)
