Reply #6: Yep. Only one rep. voted against it in Virginia (well to be fair

[beachmom]

I didn't see all of the Rep's votes -- just the 5 in my area, so maybe there were others). That person was the man I met two weeks ago -- Bobby Scott -- who called it right in his speech. Remember his name because he really was a great speaker and had so much to say about doing what is right and the immorality of the administration. In fact, I think Senator Kerry would like him!

But everyone who represents me voted for the torture bill. And they weren't even worth calling. They were beyond my reach.

At least for you, Karynnj, you still thought you had a chance to persuade them to do the right thing. For me it was hopeless, as soon as the "compromise" came out.

Great delegation, Tay -- Massachusetts is a great state!
