In another forum, this guy got this email below and wanted to know why Ron Paul didn't object and demand a vote.
I haven't heard of this vote so I thought I would ask here. Thanks
Congressmen nowhere to be found: House passes extension of bloated spending programs on a voice vote.
xxxxxxxxxx,
HR 2887 extended transportation construction programs at funding levels above the House-passed budget. This six-month spending bill didn't even have a cost estimate from the Congressional Budget Office.
And they passed it without a recorded vote.
>> Call your Representatives and ask: "why didn't you object to this bill?"
The transportation package has long been the poster child of irresponsible Washington spending. When the House passed a budget in the Spring, they lowered transportation funding, representing a curb on Washington's spending binge. And today, the House of Representatives turned its back on this spending discipline. Any Representative could have asked for a recorded vote on this bill, but none did.
>> Call your Representative, ask why they didn't object, and send us a call report now.
