Additionally, 18 members of Congress either voted “present” or did not vote on the resolution at all - ten Democrats and seven Republicans (plus Rep. Justin Amash, who quit the Republican Party earlier this month).

Two of the three Democratic members of Congress still running for president, Seth Moulton of Massachusetts and Tim Ryan of Ohio, were absent for the vote (the third, Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, voted “yea”). Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi also did not participate, although it has historically been common for House Speakers of both parties not to vote on every bill or resolution.


Poster Comment:

Blumenauer is a supporter of the World Trade Organization (WTO)[27] and has voted for "free trade" agreements with Peru, Australia, Singapore, Chile[28] as well as Africa and the Caribbean.[29] Blumenauer's support for these free trade agreements has angered progressives, environmental and labor activists. In 2004, he voted against the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA). On September 24, 2007, four labor and human rights activists were arrested in Blumenauer's office protesting the congressman's support for the Peru Free Trade Agreement.[30]

He is from Portland. I used to live there. He is a Globalist which is why he is anti-Israeli extremism.

Another sickening show of CONgress' first loyalty, this. I guess the other "good" ones here have terrible things on their record like this Blumenauer.
