Wow!  Great news!

The seven who voted against are the amendment are:

•Dick Durbin (D-IL)
•Roland Burris (D-IL)
•Robert Casey (D-PA)
•Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)
•Patrick Leahy (D-VT)
•Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
•Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)

Note, Durbin and Burris from the heart of corruption.

The text of it, as taken from the comment section of http://www.biggovernment.com:

This was an amendment to bill HR 3288 – Appropriations for the Dept. Of Transportation and Housing and Urban Development.

Here is the exact text of the amendment:

SA 2355. Mr. JOHANNS submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill H.R. 3288, making appropriations for the Departments of Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

After section 414, insert the following:

Sec. 4__. None of the funds made available under this Act may be directly or indirectly distributed to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).

The only name on that list that surprised me is Gillibrand.

Sanders, Mr. Socialist himself and founder of the Congressional Progressive Caucus is no surprise or scumbag Leahy.

So dumb azz Cassey voted against it too.  What was he thinking he is more conservative then Spector lol.  I don't like him anyway but my man Spector voted against it.

There's already a term being applied to the seven who voted no, courtesy of Jim Geraghty of National Review:

“Who were the seven Child-Whoring Pimp Assistance Program defenders?”

Good Lord, what was Gillibrand thinking?

Holy Smokes Batman, our gal Kirsten voted NO!  What was she thinking?  Even Schumer voted for the Amendment.

She was thinking "I need ACORN's rent a crowd and voter fraud/intimidation tactics to help me WIN my Senate seat.  Whatever way she voted, you can be sure Chuckie told her what to do.  He holds that "Blue Dog's" leash.  Sorry, I know she is liked by many - but the nature of NY is only ONE can be top dog, and after HRC left,  that is "where's the camera" Schumer.  She will do what he tells her, that's why he picked her (oh no it was not Paterson - Paterson's a political moron, Schumer walked all over him during that process.)
