It might be worthwhile to remember those who crossed party lines on this issue.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>From AP:
The vote to table, and thus kill Lautenberg's proposal was 51-47, with Democrats Max Cleland of Georgia and Max Baucus of Montana joining 49 Republicans.
Six Republicans crossed party lines and sided with the Democratic advocates of the measure. They were Sens. John Chafee of Rhode Island, Mike Dewine and George Voinovich of Ohio, Peter Fitzgerald of Illinois, Dick Lugar of Indiana and John Warner of Virginia.
On the vote in favor of the system of voluntary checks, Chafee, Fitzgerald and Sen. William Roth of Delaware joined all voting Democrats in opposition.[/quote]
When it's time to vote (or donate), reward our friends and remember our enemies.
Also thank them.
