Normally, the people that I am about to tell you who voted to censor and revoke your constitutional rights have the protection of most of the voting public not knowing exactly what goes on in the congressional chambers.

That changes now!

Over the last hour, I have been researching and investigating who lent their support to this lame and utterly unconstitutional excuse for a bill. The results are astounding!

From this moment on, I want these men and women who we elected to serve us to feel the pain of knowing what they have done. I want the world and the whole country to know what traitors we have in Washington, DC.

So, without further adieu, here’s the supporters of the bill that essentially made America a police state, like that of Hitler’s Germany. These are by state, with links to the legislator’s info. If a state is not mentioned, that state’s representatives did not support the bill, or abstained a vote yesterday in the US House. They are all in the order of their districts in each state.

This is terrible. I take only minimal comfort knowing my representative, Barney Frank, didn’t vote for this (because he’s forever awesome).

Of course Ben fucking Quayle voted for it.

I would like to send a nice big fuck you to everyone who voted for this.  I’ll be writing some strongly worded letters now.

And President Obama made sure modifications to the bill as passed by the Senate - bill S1867 and HR1540 - were made so that he would not veto the bill. They need those Anti-Terrorist War Dollars being allocated. 

The following is from HR1540 – you can download a PDF of the full bill

The bill would specifically authorize appropriations for 2012 totaling $690 billion, or $15 billion less than the $705 billion appropriated for 2011. Of that amount, $571 billion would be for authorizations of regular appropriations–for `base budget’ costs not directly related to overseas contingency operations–as follows: $553 billion for DoD and $18 billion for DOE and other programs (see Table 2).

Compared to the 2011 level of appropriations enacted for DoD’s base budget, the $553 billion that would be authorized for 2012 represents an increase of $24 billion (5 percent). The categories of DoD funding that would receive increases are procurement at $12 billion (11 percent), operation and maintenance at $9 billion (5 percent), military personnel at $4 billion (3 percent), and research and development at $1 billion (1 percent). Authorizations for military construction and family housing would be $2 billion (11 percent) less than the current-year appropriations for those activities.

For DOE and other programs, the $18 billion that would be authorized for 2012 represents a $2 billion (9 percent) increase over the level appropriated for 2011.

Do we congratulate them on allocating less money overall, but increasing the amount available to spend on building the war machine to police our country? Perhaps we need to remind them that worldwide military spending is about $1 trillion annually and the US Armed Forces are $553 billion of that amount - yes over half of the entire world’s military force is ours. 4.3% of gross domestic product is spent on military, only Saudi Arabia is higher.
