Who Are The Other Dem Congressmen That Support Stupak?......

[global1]

I know one is my congressman - Dan Lipinski (D-IL 3rd). Lipinski referred to a dozen supporters in an e-mail he sent out yesterday - but they never identify who those people are. I know Rachel makes fun of Stupak and the list he carries around in his pocket of these people. The other day Rachel indicated that at best there are 4 or 5 supporters - not 12.

Can we identify the others here and put some pressure on them?

If your Congressman supports Stupak - please post their name, state and district here.

4. I Know That Oberstar Will Vote Yes Now & Murtha Recently Died......

Do we know how the others on your list are voting?

I don't see Lipinski on the list - he should be - his e-mail of yesterday confirmed that he would be voting 'no'.

5. Stupak 12

The website lists the 12 House Democrats as follows: Bart Stupak (D-MI), Joseph Cao (R-LA), Jerry Costello (D-IL), Kathy Dahlkemper (D-PA), Joe Donnelly (D-IN), Steve Dreihaus (D-OH), Brad Ellsworth (D-IN), Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), Dale Kildee (D-MI), Dan Lipinski (D-IL), Jim Oberstar (D-MN), and Charlie Wilson (D-OH).

On Edit I quesiton this list as Lincon Davis (D)TN is not on it...

[unhappycamper]

6. Add my POS congresscritter to the list: Steven Lynch, DINO-MA n/t

[Jennicut]

8. He lost Oberstar and Wilson. Kaptur wants a deal on a separate abortion bill.

Ellsworth is indicating he may vote for it. Cao said he will take a look at the language in the bill after Obama spoke to him directly (and he is a Repub, not a Dem). So that leaves 7 definite names in his pocket.

[Bitwit1234]

12. Oberstar and Kildee have gone to yes

the list is not correct. There may be others who have also.

[udbcrzy2]

7. I know their all republicans

He has to be talking about republicans on his list. I dunno....
