2. One of the comments...

said to look at all the Dems who voted against it, anyone know who they were, if any?

[Adelante]

4. I don't think any Dems did or maybe one

Somebody in Georgia, I think.

[Virginia Dare]

8. Yes, this is correct...

I looked it up, it was Miller from GA, and Kerry did not vote.

20. It shows Allen voted for the bill.

I am not trying to defend him but it says Yea next to his name.

This is a motion to table, so a vote for Yea is a vote to not provide armor to soldiers.
The only Dem to vote with the Republicans is Zell Miller. That freeper is an idiot, of course its no suprise that an Freeper makes accusations without knowing the truth.

51 Republicans and Zell Miller are the ones who voted against.

Infuriatingly enough, it seems I can't post at YouTube for some reason. Please somebody try to post that link there?

3. Allen! You're outta here!

Done and Done!

[babylonsister]

5. Rec'd! What a GREAT message, though so sad soldiers

were sent to the field w/inferior equipment.

7. email from VoteVets - They need funding to keep it going

Dear VoteVets.org Supporter,

We promised you something big, and today we're unveiling it. Click here to view our first major television advertisement, targeting Senator George Allen.

The ad features an Army Reservist named Peter Granato, who was sent to war - like thousands of others - without the right body armor. Pete and so many other Guard and Reserve members were given Vietnam-era flak jackets, which did absolutely nothing to stop the piercing bullets from the AK-47s that Iraqis fired at us.

In April, 2003, as Peter Granato was fighting in Iraq with a useless flak jacket, Senator Mary Landrieu offered an amendment, which would have provided a billion dollars for the procurement of equipment for the Guard and Reserve - including modern body armor.

Senator George Allen voted to kill that amendment. When the troops needed George Allen, he voted against us. He failed us. Our ad sheds light on this shameful vote, and urges Virginians to vote against him, just as he voted against us, the troops.

Here's where you come in. To continue running this ad, we need funding. There were scores of other Senators who voted as George Allen did, and we have ads ready to go on each and every one of them. If you donate to keep this ad going, we are asking for your input on where the ad should run next, and which Senator it should target.

Tell your friends and family to donate and vote.

We will take your vote into consideration! But, most of all, pass this around so that everyone on Capitol Hill recognizes that we will not stand idle when they vote against our men and women in uniform.

Thank you, and best regards,
Jon Soltz
Iraq War Veteran and Chairman, VoteVets.org

14. I voted for MO

When I sent in my small donation. Not sure how Talent voted, but I'd bet it was the same as Allen. Sure would like to see McCaskill get some help.

9. I screwed up the rating!

Anyone know how to change a rating on a youtube video?

[Adelante]

10. I don't know

But you can go back and add it to your "Favorites" - apparently that helps, too.

[jumpoffdaplanet]

11. Done

.

[Booster]

12. Done, but we need more people to get in there and vote.

[Adelante]

13. Yeah, those stars are not moving nt

[Metta]

15. Thanks. Important.

Allen should be in jail for contributory negligent homicide, imho.

[judy from nj]

16. It's a really great ad

They are collecting donations so that they can use it in other states.

[Donna Zen]

17. Great ad

The ad is 100% God's honest truth. So I guess I can deduce from this that you are a bunch of lying SOBs just like the people you worship.
