Voting Against Voting Rights
Spencer Overton posted the following at BlackProf.Com, and I'm lifting all of it.
Yesterday's final vote in the U.S. House was 390 members in favor of renewing important provisions of the Voting Rights Act, and 33 members against. Most Republicans and all Democrats voted in support of renewal. Below is the list of the 33 members who voted against renewal:Charles Norwood (R-GA) voted against renewal.Richard Baker (R-LA), J. Gresham Barrett (R-SC), Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD), Joe Barton (R-TX), Jo Bonner (R-AL), Dan Burton (R-IN), John Campbell (R-CA), Mike Conaway (R-TX), Nathan Deal (R-GA), John Doolittle (R-CA), John Duncan (R-TN), Terry Everett (R-AL), Virginia Foxx (R-NC), Trent Franks (R-AZ), Scott Garrett (R-NJ), Phil Gingrey (R-GA), Joel Hefley (R-CO), Jeb Hensarling (R-TX), Wally Herger (R-CA), Sam Johnson (R-TX), Steve King (R-IA), John Linder (R-GA), Patrick McHenry (R-NC), Gary Miller (R-CA), Charles Norwood (R-GA), Ron Paul (R-TX), Tom Price (R-GA), Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Ed Royce (R-CA), John Shadegg (R-AZ), Thomas Tancredo (R-CO), William Thornberry (R-TX), Lynn Westmoreland (R-GA)
I've bolded two of the 33, Joe Barton (TX-06) and Steve King (IA-05). We'll be leaving the IA-02 shortly for the IA-05, and Dave Harris in the TX-06 is always on our sidebar.

Interesting development. My boy Sam is autistic, age 3, we are getting good services, very good, in Baltimore County.
Like your blog, wish I had more time to work on mine.
