This turkey of a bill passed in the Senate 74-25 (Kennedy was ill and unable to vote) and is now headed back to the House. And to add insult to injury, they appended it to a POS mental health parity bill (since the Senate cannot initiate revenue or spending bills). I despise all 74 of the senators (40 democrats, 34 republicans) who voted for this crap. I guess I'm voting Libertarian in November since both McCain and Obama voted for it. And although I am not prone to vote Democratic, I will be voting for Chambliss's opponent Martin (D).

ETA (10/3):
I sent two emails to Sen. Chambliss; the first was the original letter that I posted here and the second was to chastise him for this vote. I
received two responses. IT WAS THE SAME DAMN FORM LETTER.
