Senate Moral Priorities

June 20, 2006

On the floor of the Senate this morning, it was Senator Dorgan (D-ND) brought forward Amendment SA-4230 to the S. 2766, to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2007 for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy, to prescribe personnel strengths for such fiscal year for the Armed Forces, and for other purposes; as follows:
At the end of division A, add the following: TITLE XV--ELIMINATION OF FRAUD IN GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING.
The Senate for the 3rd times has voted this down, Lates vote 52-48 while billions of dollars of the tax payer’s money is continuing to be wasted.

It appears that, Senate is more concerned about what they call immoral talk on the airway and increase those fine 100%, yet unable to increase Fines and Jail time to those that will profit off the death of the men and women that we sent to war in Iraq.

Members Vote will follow: VOTE U.S. Senate Roll Call Votes 109th Congress - 2nd Session, Vote Number: 176 Vote Date: June 20, 2006, 11:18 AM.
