Wednesday there was a vote on the "Drug-Free Communities Pandemic Relief Act", H R 654...

[George II]

Two-thirds "Yea" was required to pass, the final vote was 395-30. Of the "Nay" votes, 29 were republican and only one Democrat.

Has anyone heard why that Democrat voted "Nay"?

[Budi]

1. K & R 1 lone Democrat voted NO to 'Drug-Free Communities Pandemic Relief Act",

Why would anyone vote against this?
They gave no reason?

Maybe MSM will ask for an explanation.

2. Bush from Missouri,

The 30 Republican Nays seem to be all MAGATS

[George II]

3. Was there a statement about why that Democrat agreed with 29 republicans and not all....

...the other Democrats?

(there were 30 total "Nay" votes - 29 were republicans)

[ShazamIam]

5. Maybe that law includes more regs that lead to locking up of POC and it is a protest vote,

[George II]

6. Every other Democrat including the rest of the "squad" voted for it.

7. I haven't asked her and I don't see any statements. I looked up to see who and was surprised.

[Budi]

4. Ya. I don't want to hear a word more about Manchin & Sinema.

..until THIS NO vote is addressed.

Denying Communities assistance to fight the very monster that keeps their people from being lifted to their better selves, is well proven as one of the very reasons for homelessness & the struggles of those trying to escape that life.

Wasn't Addressing Homelessness one of her key cries for help?
And she votes NO?!

The taxpayers who pay the legislaors salary & benes really deserve an explanation, considering her rally cry for the poor, homeless, & downtrodden of our society.

What was that Capitol Step sleepover for afterall, if not for this very progressive bill.
She voted, NO. The only Democrat

[ShazamIam]

8. The vote isn't similar since is has -0- effect on the outcome. Maybe it excluded an amendment she

wanted, I don't know why and am not endorsing the vote. I just looked up who it was and posted, I was surprised, but have seen this before from both sides, a symbolic of a sometimes personal nature where it will not affect the outcome but did allow a signal or statement. I have no idea for the reason for Bush's vote and make no justification and am only offering speculations based on similar past votes.

[Budi]

9. Juxtapose this NO Vote & the Capitol Steps Sleepover to make a statement, & we are right to question

..& deserve an answer.

Where's Media in asking this question for us, now?

[ShazamIam]

10. I'm just waiting for some big new indictments promised to be announced today. /peace

[Budi]

11. Same here. But this deserves attention & a response as well.

What was that Capitol Steps show about, if not what this very bill represents?

We are right to hold them all accountable for their words & actions.

12. It is being hailed as strongly bipartisan, perhaps she was the designated no voter from the D side?

[Budi]

13. She was either for it or against it. Her vote said she opposed.

There's no 'well maybe' about it.
Her NO vote to a bill supporting the very thing she'd just spent the summer publicly advocating for, deserves an explanation from her.

Waiting......

[ShazamIam]

14. It is obviously a statement since it had no effect on the outcome. If we don't see a statement from

Rep. Bush I will consider to have been a politically motivated directive to uphold the claim of, strongly bipartisan.
