Here are today's House roll calls. Some points of interest are H RES 487, H RES 517 and H RES 692(why do they even bother?). Also a motion expressing the sense of Congress that China release democratic activist Liu Xiaobo from imprisonment, Ron Paul is the only person to vote no.

Ok, here is my first response, more to follow. Funding to Homeland Security. How dare they, with that do nothing liberal Janet Napolitano as head of Homeland Security. In her time in Arizona she defended every border-crosser whether or not they had dynamite strapped to their chest. God, I hate the Republican party.:mad:


Here is the EXECUTIVE SUMMARY of the bill from gop.gov

H.R. 2892 contains a total of $42.6 billion, which is $595 million, or 1.4 percent, above FY 2009. Agencies funded through the bill received approximately $3 billion in supplemental appropriations outside the normal FY 2009 appropriations process, the vast majority of which came from the "stimulus" bill.

H.R. 2892 would contribute to an overall total discretionary spending level of with a total spending level of $1,089.6 trillion, or 7.6 percent over FY 2009. From FY 2007 to FY 2009, overall total appropriations spending has increased 41 percent in just two years, and non-defense spending has increased 85 percent. The Committee report accompanying H.R. 2892 also includes 160 earmarks totaling more than $265 million.

H.R. 2892 would provide funding for a number of agencies, including the Secret Service, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Coast Guard, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The following is a summary of the spending highlights and other provisions in the bill.

*H.R. 2892 includes $241 million in overseas contingency operations funding which was not requested. The Majority includes the additional funding level in their comparisons to the President's request, allowing the Majority to present a smaller reduction from the request.
