the seven GOP nay voters...to let them know that I want to see full disclosure of the expenditures for this lawsuit...and that I want to know Who they hire, what other business congress has with them etc...basically...everything Rep Slaughter asks for.
It isn't too much, imo, to ask for full disclosure of How they choose to invest our tax dollar contributions.
I think of it like a "taxpayers monthly bank statement"
They don't want to hear "it" from me or you about this--they Would prefer this just go quietly away...I hope it doesn't.

To ask the House Ethics committee to investigate the Nae voters for deliberately refusing to close off loopholes that could cause conflicts of interest. After all that's what Rep Slaughter was really talking about; each of the amendments she proposed was aimed at preventing conflicts from occurring. The GOP is, as usual, trying to funnel taxpayer money to their cronies and to hell with the ethics involved.
