DSCC PUTS '06 GOP SENATORS ON NOTICE: THE VOTES YOU CAST THIS WEEK ARE GOING TO COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU
March 18, 2005

As Senate GOPers Up For Re-Election Vote Against Common Sense Efforts to Make Budget Better for Everyday Americans, Democrats Vow To Hold Them Accountable

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) warned Senate Republicans today that votes they cast this week against initiatives intended to help America’s communities would come back to haunt them during the 2006 campaign.

Senate Republicans voted against a number of measures aimed at improving the federal budget for the upcoming fiscal year, including initiatives geared toward protecting Social Security, improving homeland security, increasing access to affordable prescription drugs and providing quality health care to veterans.

"Senators are defined by their voting record," DSCC Executive Director JB Poersch said. "Senators who vote against priorities like protecting Social Security benefits, making our neighborhoods safer, or providing veterans’ health care can rest assured that they will pay a price come election time. We guarantee it."

Republicans Say NO to Protecting Social Security Benefits: Allen, Burns, Chafee, Ensign, Frist, Hatch, Hutchison, Kyl, Lott, Lugar, Santorum, Talent and Thomas voted against a Resolution rejecting any Social Security plan that "requires deep benefit cuts or a massive increase in debt."

Republicans Say NO to First Responders: Allen, Burns, DeWine, Ensign, Frist, Hatch, Hutchison, Kyl, Lott, Lugar, Santorum, Snowe, Talent and Thomas voted against $1.6 billion for first responder programs.

Republicans Say NO to Veterans Health Care: Allen, Burns, DeWine, Ensign, Frist, Hatch, Hutchison, Kyl, Lott, Lugar, Santorum, Snowe, Talent and Thomas Voted against $2.8 billion for veterans health care and $2.8 billion for deficit reduction.

Republicans Say NO to Keeping Medicaid Viable: Allen, Burns, Ensign, Frist, Hatch, Hutchison, Kyl, Lott, Lugar, Santorum, Talent and Thomas Voted Against Restoring $14 billion to Medicaid and Establishing a Bipartisan Medicaid Commission.

There is a long list of issues at the website. The very same names appear over and over again.
