I need help digging up records
A friend of mine is running for Congress against a Republican incumbent. I'm not going to mention any names, as we're still in the exploratory phase. I need to find the republicans voting record, along with the ramifications of each vote. The later is important, considering how they name bills nowadays ("Clean Skies", "Healthy Forests", etc. They don't give accurate names like "Screw the Veterans", or "Feed the Rich").

This is a pivotal race we can win, but we need all the ammo we can get. Thanks.

I went to THOMAS, but all they give is a bill summary, and there were over 3,000 bills introduced last year.:kick:

1. Lots of voice votes this past year!
Give only final tally, not individual vote. Allows incumbants to lie about their votes with a straight face!
