Re: How PA congresscritters voted

Just got around to looking....

Greenwood and Weldon are both 'activist' Republicans from upscale Philadelphia suburban districts, and crossed over to vote with the Democrats (only one other from Pennsy did so, Platt of the 19th, which includes York, Carlisle, and Gettysburg).

Shuster is the son of the infamous Bud "the Mad Paver" Shuster, long time chairman of the Transpo' committee and a major purveyor of pork, who resigned after an ethics investigation. The piglet was handed the seat in a special election... his 'No' vote is no surprise.

I live in Pennsylvania's 5th District; my critter's name is Peterson - party line rubber-stamp; need I say more?

Actually, I should: I have a strong suspicion the First Amendment had no bearing on most of the votes; rather, Up or Down on the abstract issue of 'reform', with the usual Congressional lack of insight or foresight.
