1/5 (20%) of the Senators voted against Anti-Lynching
apology.... 20 fucking percent.... Lets not forget this... I am not going to let this die... Hope you guys don't either. I can't seem to find my list of senators who voted against it.. or I would include that list in this post. If anyone has it ... lets publish it again. This story must not die.
3. They didn't exactly vote against it, just refused to co-sponsor it
It passed on a unanymous voice vote. Several senators for various unstated reasons didn't co-sponsor the bill, and that's being used to say they voted against it. But no one challenged the unanymous approval to actually try to prevent its passage. I don't think it's a mileagable issue.
Not saying I don't agree with your disgust--I certainly do--just that its not going to do much for us.
