BRAVO EARL POMEROY!.....MAYBE
Whenever Representative Pomeroy does the right thing he deserves an “atta-boy”. It was missed earlier, but on July 20, 2009, according to Medical News Today:
The House Ways and Means Committee on Thursday voted 23-18 to approve its health care reform bill (HR 3200) after rejecting dozens of Republican amendments, including attempts to exclude abortion coverage from the essential benefit package created in the legislation, CQ Today reports. An amendment offered by Rep. Sam Johnson (R-Texas) was rejected in an 18-23 vote; Reps. Bill Pascrell (N.J.), Earl Pomeroy (N.D.) and John Tanner (Tenn.) were the only Democrats to support the amendment.
One must wonder how this squares with Representative Pomeroy’s vote a few days earlier to support government funding in the District of Columbia of Pre-birth Infanticide?
Stay tuned as the inner workings of the Democrat controlled U.S. House Ways and Mean Committee as they “markup” (build) legislation is probably the most direct and unfiltered indication of how U.S. House legislators are really representing their constituents.
