Continuing Extension Act of 2010 – Vote Passed (289-112, 29 Not Voting)
On Thursday, the House passed this legislation that would extend for two months federal unemployment benefits, flood insurance programs, increased payment rates to Medicare providers and COBRA health care premium assistance. It was then sent to the President, who signed it into law later that night.
Rep. Doc Hastings voted NO
Typical NO vote from Hastings. His constituents benefit from these items and he ignores them. He can do this because no one in the media in Eastern Washington holds Republicans accountable. Republicans themselves should be outraged by Hastings voting record. If turning their back on those that need help the most is a conservative value, then conservatives are not Christian.
Hasting’s free ride is over. Please support Jay Clough and get this rat’s-nest representative out of our hair.
I watched some of the house debate on the Clean Estuaries Act. Does Doc Hastings know that the Columbia River has one of the most important estuaries in the Northwest? He certainly didn’t represent his constituents in the 4th CD with his vote.
