House & Senate refuse good ideas

Today, the Republicans, in both Houses of Congress, refused to allow a vote on some basic social issues. In the House, Republicans refused to allow a vote on a 25-year extension for the Voting Rights Act, even though they swept through legislation that extended provisions of the Patriot USA Act, which limits our freedoms. The Senate Republicans refused to allow a vote for an increase in the minimum wage, but they pushed through legislation that gives the wealthiest Americans (i.e., multi-billion corporations) some well-deserved tax breaks and incentives.

Republicans are anti-voting for minorities and they say screw you to the average American who is trying to make an honest living by working.

November 6 is how many months off now????
