ACTION ALERT: Call the US Senate - Ask GOP Senators why they hate America?

54 US Senators today KILLED legislation establishing an independent, bipartisan commission to investigate what went so horribly wrong with Hurricane Katrina.

76% of Americans want an independent bipartisan commission, like the one that investigated the 9/11 attacks, to investigate what went wrong. In fact, according to the same poll, Americans of all stripes, Republicans and Democrats, are united behind their support for such a commission (64% of all Republicans and 83% of all Democrats want a commission) even though they were aware that the Republicans in Congress are doing their own biased and partisan investigation (see below).

So why did every Republican US Senator (save the Senator from Louisiana, who simply didn't vote) vote AGAINST forming this independent, bipartisan commission to investigate what went so horribly wrong, and to find out how we avoid an even larger catastrophe the next time Osama attacks a major American city with a chemical, biological or nuclear bomb?

It's time to find out.........

3. They can run but they can't hide. Americans want Floodgate answers.

4. This absolutely infuriates me

This went straight down party lines... the pugs know they have something to hide, I really hope they all go down in 2006... people will remember what they did..

5. Is this any surprise?

[ClassWarrior]

6. No, but that shouldn't prevent us from acting.

NGU.

7. IMO, it's not a mystery why they voted this down.

They don't represent us. That simple. We are royally going to witness true hell here in Amerika. I know it feels like we already are, but tell me who's gut isn't telling them that this is only the beginning?

Don't mean to sound pesimistic, but all of us here look at what is actually happening as opposed to what "they" are telling is happening. Based on the reality of it all, what other conclusion can one come to?

I am more afraid for our kids, what a mess they are in. At least we had the "good days".

8. They don't want people to know how they've spent 100's of billions

on DHS and have accomplished absolutely NOTHING!!

9. The Bushie Republicans don't even bother to hide their disdain for...

...Democrats and Democracy anymore.

The Dems have made themselves irrelevant by their refusal to be an opposition party.

10. IMO, a more accurate statement would

SOME (not a broad brush all of them) Dems have made themselves irrelevant by their refusal to be an opposition party.
