MN 5th District Candidate On Our Side

[jay1313]

Practically every representative in the country voted for the bill. The Safe Port Act was very important legislation that needed to get addressed. The UIGEA was a non-germaine amendment to that bill that was not 'hot' enough to cause voting down the other important legislation.

The key thing to remember is that the law was snuck in to another unrelated, yet very important, bill and forced on the representatives without true debate.

The Republicans (Frist, Kyl) gave the democrats or I should say most of the representatives in congress, no voice on the amendment.
