to symbolize her feelings on the issue. He said don't make too much of it. She is having a little show of defiance which she has done before then ended up voting on a GOP bill to save her ass.

Keep calling (202)224-3121 Collins, Murkowski and secure the 4 Dems votes...Heitkamp, Manchin, Jones and Donnelly.
