Burn Pit legislation

[Coomer]

I’m one of those vets that came back with asthma and rhinitis issues. I’m sure there are a handful of others in here too. These are some of the names of republicans that voted against the burn pit Pact Act:


Of the 42 senators who voted against the PACT Act, 41 were Republicans. These are the Republican Senators who voted against the bill:

1. John A. Barrasso, WY
2. Marsha Blackburn, TN
3. Roy Blunt, MO
4. Mike Braun, IN
5. Richard Burr, NC
6. Bill Cassidy, LA
7. John Cornyn, TX
8. Tom Cotton, AR
9. Kevin Cramer, ND
10. Mike Crapo, ID
11. Ted Cruz, TX,
12. Steve Daines, MT
13. Joni Ernst, IA
14. Deb Fischer, NE
15. Bill Hagerty, TN
16. Josh Hawley, MO
17. Cindy Hyde-Smith, MS
18. Jim Inhofe, OK
19. Ron Johnson, WI
20. John Neely Kennedy, LA
21. James Lankford, OK
22. Mike Lee, UT
23. Cynthia Lummis, WY

38. Patrick Toomey, PA
39. Tommy Tuberville, AL
40. Roger Wicker, MS

Noting that local guys Tuberville and Rick Scott on there. Rick Scott was one of those guys that voted for it and then against it. What a joke.

I've always looked a this as if it would dragged out to the point of being ineffective, like the Agent Orange and Camp Lejeune issues.

But there is plenty of cash to pay for Illegal Alien Programs.

There was tons of pork fat in that bill, the Dems and media want to make it look like the Republicans simply are hell bent on being anti military. The Republicans are simply saying get all the other BS out of the bill and make it ONLY about the burn pits and the military ! And yes I was right next to a pit at FOB Sharana but I was only a contractor, and the coughing never stops.

Rick Scott is an Opportunist. I voted Republican across the board except for Senator. He follows the money. He votes for whomever pays him. Not a republican in my book. A real Republican would stand up for his constituents, regardless who offered him money. A real POS!

Well there was 25 republicans who voted for the the first time with the “pork fat” and then they chose to flip their votes the second time. They didn’t have a problem with the pork fat the first time. Seems like an excuse

I’m just cynical, but I’m guessing they’re doing it to protest another bill regarding climate change. Food for thought.

The real victims are the vets.

I for one am glad these republicans voted against the bill. Not that I am against taking care of vets that were effected by the burn pits but I am against all the other crap that the democrats piled onto the bill that have nothing to do with burn pits. I don't even know how it is allowed that things be put in a bill that have nothing to do with the main subject of the bill. Present a clean bill without all the pork and i bet they all will sign it.

 

[rossi]

Dems write a Bill exactly how they want it and still pack it with a Crap Load of Pork on top!

Tell the republicans to introduce their own bill regarding burn pit exposures (if they even wanna do it). Then put in their version of republican pork and beef fat and see which democrats votes for it the first time. And then after that, introduce an anti-climate change bill and see which democrat flips their votes after in protest. But they will blame their vote flips on “pork fat”.

Find a liberal that says “I’m glad these demos voted against the bill, introduce a clean bill and the democrats will sign it.

It’s just the same game, different name.

It’s the vets that suffer.

Veterans taking a Backseat to illegals is Shameful!

Burn Pit at FOB McKenzie, Iraq, caused many illnesses.

 

[DonBow]

There was no “extra pork” in that bill. Everything was for veterans and included funding for those extra vets that would be added to the VA system

 

[WRM]

There was no “extra pork” in that bill.

So, just the "regular pork"? Neither side is worth a damn in representing "we the". They primarily work for their own advantage.

If you read the bill you will see there is no pork. only one side is lying to us about this bill.

I'll have to take your word for it. If there is "no pork", it seemingly will be a first in any recent action taken by Congress.

You could almost see the dollar signs in Schumer's eyes. And he was backed up by that Lying Blumenthal. Jane Fonda had more time in the 'Nam than that liar

So instead of reading the bill you came up with this?

 

[FrankT]

The dems were trying their tricks again and got caught...hope that was fixed before the vote

 

[Bamaboy19]

My take on any important legislation should be in it's own bill to keep the pork out.
Pork flares my gout!

1. Rick Scott, FL

Say no more brother. That opportunitistic scum bag has been a blight on our beautiful state for years. Shitty Governor and even shittier Senator.
