In the dark of night our (representatives?) voted on the biggest pork barrel yet to roll into Washington. BUT before that they voted on something else. Did you catch it?
Senate Approves U.S.-India Nuclear Deal
WASHINGTON — U.S. senators voted Wednesday to overturn a three-decade ban on atomic trade with India, giving final congressional approval to a landmark U.S.-India nuclear cooperation accord and handing President George W. Bush a rare foreign policy victory in his final months in office.
The Senate voted 86-13 to allow American businesses to begin selling nuclear fuel, technology and reactors to India in exchange for safeguards and U.N. inspections at India's civilian, but not military, nuclear plants.
Well isn't that special. We gripe about CO2, global warming, can't drill our way outta, can't have evil nuclear power here, but we can sell it to India? Kinda like we can't drill for oil or natural gas in or around our Nation, but we can buy it from lunatics and despots around the world?
Anyway, on to the main event, the list below is the list of Senators that voted no on the early Halloween Trick or Treat bailout pork bill.

The names above that are BOLD and UNDERLINED are up for re-election next month, but I'm sure that has nothing to do with their vote on this issue.
Constitutional changes are needed, and those that are doling out the pork and not dealing with the underlying problem need to be held accountable, including a USPS change of address card filled out for Leavenworth, KS as needed.
