whatever bi-partisan deficit cutting agreement is reached in June or July.

Some will make the record and vote against the agreement knowing that their vote won't make a difference and a no vote will help their re-election chances. I'm not cynical, that's just the way "practical politics" works today in Washington.

Progressives could write to those and other representatives asking why they voted against the liberal deficit cutting legislation but I expect that with rare exceptions they will not respond to that question.

Write and see what kind of response you get, if any.
