Today over two months since Hurricane Sandy and after Speaker Boehner pulled the vote at the end of the 112th Congress, the US House finally voted for part of the Sandy relief. This bill was only to shore up FEMA funding for flood insurance, additional legislation is still to be worked on and voted for later in January. Attached is the list of the 67 Republicans who voted against Sandy Disaster Relief based on warnings from The Club for Growth, a Corporate Lobby Group who doesn’t believe Americans who suffer from disasters need assistance, unless they happen to be their corporate sponsors. At the end of this list is a link to the US House of Representatives Directory should you want to give your representative a call.
Personally, I think that if any district is met with a disaster during the term of these Representatives, they should forfeit all claims for federal relief. I say this knowing that I’m in one of those districts; Arizona District 6, David Schweikert. Many of these Representatives are from districts prone to hurricanes, droughts, earthquakes, and other types of natural disasters. Just remember, Karma is a bitch.
All of these are Republicans, every Democrat and Independent voted for relief.
