(draft version)

    From roughly January 2009 to January 2011, the Democratic Party--made up mostly of communists and socialists--had control of the U.S. Congress, and during the period, much very bad legislation was passed through the U.S. Congress and then signed by Barack Obama, who is a communist and such, and one of the very bad laws that was passed is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, which is designed to start the process of giving the federal government a monopolistic control over the health-care industry of the country, which, for one, would give politicians the power to say when you can and when you cannot not get health care, the way of a communist country.  Information about votes that took place in the 111th U.S. Congress during the period from January 2009 to January 2011 is covered in my document entitled Enemies of the United States of America: Politicians Who Have Hurt You and Your Family by Voting "Yes" on Bad Federal Bills, which can be reached by using this Enemies link, and the document continues to exist at the Web site for The Hologlobe Press so that you can see what current members of the 112th U.S. Congress did as members of the 111th U.S. Congress if they were members of the 111th U.S. Congress, and the information will help you remember who voted "yes" on bad federal bills and who voted "no" on bad federal bills.  In November 2010, during the national election, big wins for Republicans aimed at being members of the U.S. Congress happened, and now the Democrats control the U.S. Senate and not both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Republicans control the U.S. House of Representatives.  This document entitled Enemies of the United States of America: A Report on Votes Made by the Members of the 112th U.S. Congress (the Good and the Bad) covers the 112th Congress and covers the time period from January 2011 to January 2013, and it will give you more evidence about who the enemies of the United States of America are who happen to be members of the U.S. Congress, and most of those are Democrats.  For the naive, I report that some of the worst enemies of the United States of America who are members of the 112th U.S. Congress are U.S. Senator John Kerry (a Democrat related to Maine), U.S. Senator Harry Reid (a Democrat related to Nevada), U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer (a Democrat related to New York), U.S. Representative Barney Frank (a Democrat related to Massachusetts), U.S. Representative John Dingell (a Democrat related to Michigan), and U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi (a Democrat related to California), and, really, it can be said that the worst enemies are Democrats related to California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, and New York, which happen to be states that are, in essence, breeding grounds for socialist politicians and communist politicians or "enslavists" (you are urged to see my document entitled Conservatives and The United States Constitution Versus Enslavers and Enslavism (Communism, Sharia, Socialism, et cetera), which can be reached by using this link: Enslavism).  Generally speaking, the enemies of the United States of America are not members of the Republican Party who are members of the U.S. Congress, since most follow the beliefs of "conservatism," which is the founding nature of the United States of America, but some members of the Republican Party are "moderates" or fake conservatives, and this document gives you evidence of which people in the 112th U.S. Congress who call themselves "Republicans" are or could be enemies of the United States of America.  Really, this document gives evidence about who are the bad people in the U.S. Congress and who are the good people in the U.S. Congress.

    Keep in mind--The United States of America is supposed to be a Representative Republic, which is guided by The United States Constitution, which is a document designed to block people in this country from becoming dictators or enslavers over the citizenry, and it must be remembered the enemies of the United States of America are people who have worked and are working to pass laws or make laws, either through means of the U.S. Congress or through agencies and departments of the Executive Branch of the federal government, that, though the rules and laws go against The United States Constitution, will make the country less and less a Representative Republic, will supplant the The United States Constitution, and make the country more and more like so many other countries in the world where a few persons--whose knowledge of a wide range of subjects is always weak and can never match that which can exist in the minds of millions persons making decisions for themselves--can rule unrestricted or nearly unrestricted over the masses, and reasons that the enemies can make the laws and rules that go against The United States Constitution are they want to and they know if they pass such laws and rules they may go unchallenged in court or may be challenged but be upheld by bad judges, such at "liberals" on the U.S. Supreme Court will uphold them (you are urged to see my document entitled Justice for All?: The Rules are Changing Under Barack Obama, which can be reached by using this link: Justice).

    Since November 2010 or especially since the start of January 2011, the Democrats have been pushing hard the idea of people's being  "civil" in speech or toning down verbal or oral attacks against the Barack Obama administration and the Democrats, and that is really done to indirectly censor people from speaking out against what is bad, making the people feel uneasy about speaking out.  In this day and age when communists and socialists are clearly members of the U.S. Congress and dislike the country and wish to change the country to something bad, maybe something like China, which they often praise, a person should understand the U.S. Congress should not be a place where the Republican members should "work together" and "get along" and "compromise" with the Democrats with bad political ideas, since it is important that the Republicans and maybe some Democrats, if they wish, cancel a number of laws that were enacted during the time period between January 2009 and January 2011 and block Barack Obama from making the country evolve in to something else, such as socialistic-type country, in which politicians can dictate much of what goes on in business life and personal life on a daily basis, and when the Republican disagree with the Democrats in the U.S. Congress and refuse to agree or compromise with the Democrats, a person should not see the actions as "uncivil" or bad, and, in fact, that is good for your and the country.  By the way, in January 2011, I heard people associated with the Democratic Party admit they think the two-party-system country is not as good as a one-party-government system is, since they think a one-party-government system can react faster when economic things have to been done than a two-party-government system can, and I say that that idea is nonsense, because, really, a capitalistic economic system, in which government does not have day-to-day control and where the citizens have control of their businesses and trying things, is better than any government-controlled economic system.  Now, a person must understand what fight is taking place in the country, and the fight is between (1) the Democrats who want to make the citizens beholden economically to the government and (2) the Republicans who want to make government beholden to the citizens; for example, a person must remember the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 is designed to take away a person's ability to do for the self and is designed to put the life of the person in the hands of politicians--and that is a bad way of life for the people in any country--and, really, politicians who are given the ability to decide what health care citizens will be given and will not be given become slaves to the politicians, and that is the state of tyranny, and, at this time, the Republicans are working to kill the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act for 2010 so that, for one, they can protect their children and relatives yet to be born from government and to keep the country as one of the "free" countries of the world.

    Here is a look at bills and amendments and the votes:

    It was on Wednesday, January 19, 2011, that a bill called H.R. 2 - Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act was put to a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives, and the purpose of the law was to repeal the entire Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.  The bill--H.R. 2 - Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act--was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 245 "yes" votes to 189 "no" votes, and one person did not vote.  On this day, basically, all the Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives voted "no" on the repeal bill, and all the Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives voted "yes" on the bill; three Democrats did vote "no," and they were Dan Boren (of Oklahoma), Mike McIntyre (of North Carolina), and Mike Ross (of Arkansas), and Gabrielle Giffords (a Democrat related to Arizona) was not able to place a vote since she was in a hospital, recuperating from a gunshot wound that she had received on January 8, 2011.  Since the bill was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, it was moved to the U.S. Senate for consideration and action.
    Some people say that it is a waste of time to try to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, since Barack Obama is still the U.S. President and will very likely not sign H.R. 2 - Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act and make it law, which will cancel the Patient Protection and Affordable Care At of 2010, but it is most important that the Republicans in the U.S. Congress push through a repeal bill.  For one, the Republicans must work to push through the H.R. 2 - Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act through the U.S. Congress and get the bill on the Barack Obama's table so that Barack Obama will either have to sign it or not sign it, and if Barack Obama does not sign it, Barack Obama will show clearly that he wants the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 to remain law.  If the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act remains law by Barack Obama's not signing H.R. 2 - Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act when it reaches Barack Obama's desk, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 will clearly be tied to Barack Obama.  If the H.R. 2 - Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act does not make it through the U.S. Senate, Barack Obama can say that, in a way, a bipartisan group of U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and that he signed the bill into law because a majority of the U.S. Congress passed the bill and he did want to go against the majority and disappoint the people of the country, the latter idea of which is false, and if Barack Obama does not have to deal with signing the repeal bill, whatever bad happens to the country in the future because of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010--and I know it is a bad law, and bad will come--Barack Obama can put much of the blame on the 111th U.S. Congress for the damage done to the country by  the law.
    Evidence that shows why the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 is bad can be found in my document entitled National Health Care: The Reasons it is a Dead Issue, which can be reached by using this link: Health.

    On Monday, January 31, 2011, Senior United States District Judge Roger Vinson of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida (Pensacola Division) issued a ruling on a court case identified as "31-cv-91-RV/EMT," and, basically, it was a case pitting twenty-six states of the country and the federal government.  Judge Roger Vinson's judgment focused on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, and, in essence, the twenty-six states had worked to show the judge that the big law was unconstitutional and the Barack Obama administration had pushed the idea that it was not, and what the judge did, using logic and the rule of law and The United States Constitution as basis for a decision, said that the entire law was unconstitutional and was void, and that meant that the federal government could no long continue to implement any parts of the law, that the federal government could appeal the decision, that states no longer had to comply with the law, and the people of the country no longer had to do anything related to the law (you are urged to see "Special Note #67" of my document entitled National Health Care and Mass Failure; The Reasons it is a Dead Issue, which will give you more information about the ruling and which can be reached by using this link: Health).  On Monday, January 31, 2011, and Tuesday, February 1, 2011, and Wednesday, February 2, 2011, it seemed the Barack Obama administration was not complying with the court decision, giving no formal indication that it was going to comply with the court decision.  Late in the day on February 2, 2011, the U.S. Senate voted on the proposed law called Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act, which had passed the U.S. House of Representatives on January 19, 2011, and was designed to completely repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act 2011, and although it was clear the American public was aware how bad the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 is and Judge Roger Vinson had ruled against the act in a court decision (two days previously), enough members in the U.S. Senate said "no" to passing Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act.  The vote in the U.S. Senate on this day--February 2, 2011--showed much more who the enemies of the United States of America are who are members of the U.S. Senate.  The voted ended up as 51 "no" votes and 47 "yes" votes; two members did not vote, and they were Joseph I. Lieberman (an Independent related to Connecticut) and Mark R. Warner (a Democrat related to Virginia).  All the "no" votes were cast by Democrats and one Independent (Bernie Sanders, who is related to Vermont, and all the "yes" votes were cast by Republicans.

    On Saturday, February 19, 2011, around four in the morning, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on a bill that would define funding for the federal government for the remainder of the 2011 fiscal year.  The bill was passed by a vote of 235 "yes" votes and 189 "no" votes, and nine members did not cast a vote, and the bill was passed on to the U.S. Senate for consideration.  Almost all the Republicans voted "yes"; three voted "no," and they were John Campbell (of California), Jeff Flake (of Arizona), and Walter Jones (of North Carolina), and Ronald Paul (of Texas) and Ben Quayle (of Arizona) did not vote.  Most of the Democrats voted "no,"  but Gabrielle Giffords (of Arizona), Jane Harman (of California), Ruben Hinojosa (of Texas), Betty McCollum (of Minnesota), Gary Peters (of Michigan), Fortney Pete Stark (of California), and Frederica Wilson (of Florida) did not vote; no Democrats voted "yes."  Besides providing funding for the remainder of the 2011 fiscal year, the bill had other features; for instance, it would make it so that the Environmental Protection Agency could not regulate "greenhouse gases," that the Federal Communications Commission could not do "net-neutrality" rules, that Planned Parenthood (which was involved in funding abortions) would be defunded, and that the provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (also known very informally as "Obamacare") would be defunded.
    The bill had a cut of about sixty-one-billion dollars in already planned spending, and the bill could have had an additional cut of twenty-two-billion-dollars in spending, but the measure did not pass.  It was on Friday, February 18, 2011, that the U.S. House of Representatives voted on "Blackburn of Tennessee Amendment No. 104."  The amendment was voted down with 147 "yes" votes and 281 "no" votes, and all the Democrats who voted voted "no," and it was only Republicans who voted "yes," and 92 Republicans voted "no."  Five members of the U.S. House of Representatives did not vote.  If the amendment would have passed, the bill to which it would have been attached would have involved about eighty-three-billion dollars of cuts instead of only sixty-one-billion dollars of cuts to what was then known to be about a fifteen-hundred-billion-dollar deficit (or a 1.5-trillion-dollar deficit) for fiscal year 2011.  It would have been better for more cuts in the deficit to be made, given that the projected deficit for fiscal year 2012, based on Barack Obama's recently proposed budget for 2011, was projected to be another sixteen-hundred-billion dollars.
    It was also on Friday, February 18, 2011, that an amendment for the budget bill for 2011 that would defund "Obamacare" was voted on.  "Rehberg of Montana Amendment No. 575" was passed in a vote of 239 "yes" votes to 187 "no" votes, and seven members did not vote.  Most of the Republicans voted "yes," but Ralph Hall (of Texas) and Ben Quayle (of Arizona) did not vote, and Chris Gibson (of New York) and Chip Cravaack (of Minnesota) voted "no" or voted to keep funding "Obamacare," which on January 31, 2011, had been ruled by a federal judge to be unconstitutional and null and void. Of the Democrats who voted, 185 Democrats voted "no," and three Democrats voted "yes," and the three Democrats who voted "yes" were Dan Boren (of Oklahoma), Mike MacIntyre (of North Carolina), and Make Ross (of Arkansas), and the Democrats who did not vote were Keith Ellison (of Minnesota), Gabrielle Giffords (of Arizona), Ruben Hinojosa (of Texas), Betty McCollum (o Minnesota), and Henry Waxman (of California).    (For more information about the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 being ruled unconstitutional, you should see "Special Note #67" of my document entitled National Health Care and Mass Failure: The Reasons it is a Dead Issue, which can be reached by using this link: Health.)

    In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010--designed by Democrats in the U.S. Congress and Barack Obama to create a socialistic-style health-care system in the country, where the government tells you what health care you may or may not have--became law.  It was not till March 2011, that, for example, U.S. Representatives Michele Bachmann (a Republican related to Minnesota) announced--based on her recently learned information--that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 had some automatic spending in it to set up parts of a national-health-care system, and she worked with others in the U.S. House of Representatives--those considered "conservatives"--to get the word out about killing the automatic spending in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, which was about one-hundred-five-billion dollars.  There was a chance to kill the spending in a bill--a three-week-only spending bill--that would be voted on on March 15, 2010, but the bill passed (271 members voted "yes," and 158 members voted "no," and three members did not vote), but at least fifty-four Republicans broke ranks with the leaders of the Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives and voted "no" on the bill (which, by the way, was considered a "continuing resolution").  I report here that the automatic funding has to be killed, and, yet, the leaders of the Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives chose not to kill the automatic funding, worried, it seems, the federal government would be shut down if the bill was not passed, and I say that there comes time when you have to stand your ground and do nothing, which, in this case, means stop the spending, even if it means shutting down portions of the federal government for a while (the federal government never completely shuts down--for example, Social Security checks always go out no matter what).  So, fifty-four Republicans did well by voting "no."  Also, one-hundred-four Democrats voted "no" too, but I am unaware why they did, but, maybe, a few were aware the federal deficit is so great that the country could, in essence, go in something that can be called a "crash" or "default" in the near future or some could have voted "no" once the bill had already passed with enough "yes" votes.  The reasons that Democrats voted "no" need not be known and thought about, since the problem is that Republicans--who had promised to do everything to kill the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, such as by defunding it--did not follow through on an opportunity here, and opportunities should not be wasted, given that every day that goes by more of the act gets implemented.  To see how a particular person in the U.S. House of Representatives voted on this bill (H J RES 48), look in the list below, and you will look for "RES48."
    Note: To learn more, you are urged to see "Special Note #75," "Special Note 76, "Special Note #78," and "Special Note #79" in my document entitled National Health Care and Mass Failure: The Reasons it is a Dead Issue, which can be reached by using this link: Health.

    In 2010, the Democrats (also known as Marxists, communists, socialists, and such) controlled the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, and the U.S. Presidency, and in 2010, the Democrats pushed through no official budget bill for the federal government for fiscal year 2011, and one reason for that is so the American public would not be aware at the time of the national elections of November 2010 what was going to be spent in the forthcoming year.  On April 15, 2011, the U.S. House of Representatives was controlled by the Republicans, and on this day, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a proposed budget for the federal government for fiscal year 2012, and leading the way in pushing through the proposed budget (known as House Concurrent Resolution 35) was U.S. Representative Paul Ryan, and the proposed budget was informally called the "Ryan Plan," and over the next several weeks, a lot of lies about the proposed budget were told by Democrats and members of the media, such as the proposed budget--if passed--would kill Medicare for persons older than fifty-five years of age (there was going to be no change in Medicare for persons who were at least fifty-five years of age, but there would be changes in Medicare or related matters for persons who were younger than fifty-five years of age).  The proposed budget--the "Ryan Plan"--was voted on in the U.S. Senate on May 25, 2011, and the vote was a "motion to proceed," and the motion went down to defeat, and that killed the "Ryan Plan," which was the only official budget plan for fiscal year 2012 to exist.  When the proposed budget was voted on in the U.S. House of Representatives, 235 Republicans voted "yes," and 189 Democrats voted "no," and four Republicans (Walter Jones (related to North Carolina), David McKinley (related to Virginia), Ronald Paul (related to Texas), and Dennis Rehberg (related to Montana)) voted "no," and four persons (Gabrielle Giffords (a Democrat related to Arizona), Gregory Meeks (a Republican related to New York), John Olver (a Republican related to Massachusetts), and Dave Reichert (a Republican related to Washington) did not vote.   When the proposed budget informally known as the "Ryan Plan" was voted on in the U.S. Senate on May 25, 2011, 40 Republicans voted "yes," wishing to pass the measure, and 50 Democrats voted "no," and two Independents (Joseph Lieberman (related to Connecticut) and Bernard Sanders (related to Vermont) voted "no," and five Republicans (Scott Brown (related to Massachusetts), Susan Collins (related to Maine), Lisa Murkowski (related to Alaska), Rand Paul (related to Kentucky), and Olympia Snowe (related to Maine) voted "no," and three members (Kay Hutchison (a Republican related to Texas), Pat Roberts (a Republican related to Kansas), and Charles Schumer (a Democrat related to New York) did not cast a vote.  In essence, the "Ryan Plan" was a plan from a "conservative," who is a type of person who follows the ways of The United States Constitution, and it can be said that the "Ryan Plan" was a plan not based on ideas tied to communism and socialism and such, and now that you know roughly what the "Ryan Plan" was, you can see who voted against, in essence, The United States Constitution and who voted for "enslavism" (and to learn about the nature of  "enslavism" and various forms of it, you should see Conservatives and The United States Constitution Versus Enslavers and Enslavism (Communism, Sharia, Socialism, et cetera), which can be reached by using this Enslavism link).

    Around July 2011, the big political fight in the U.S. Congress was focused on whether or not to raise the "debt ceiling" of the federal government, such as by August 2, 2011, which, for instance, Barack Obama was pushing for.  While Barack Obama and the Democrats in the U.S. Congress pushed, in essence, no ideas for dealing with "debt ceiling," the Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives proposed several plans, and one plan--which was considered the first choice--was the Cut, Cap and Balance Act of 2011, which was passed in the U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday, July 19, 2011.  The bill passed by a vote of 234 "yes" votes to 190 "no" votes (eight members did not cast votes).  Mostly, it was Republicans who supplied the "yes" votes, but five Democrats did supply "yes" votes, and the five Democrats were Dan Boren (of Oklahoma), Jim Cooper (of Tennessee), Jim Matheson (of Utah), Mike McIntyre (of North Carolina), and Heath Shuler (of North Carolina).  Mostly, it was Democrats who supplied the "no" votes, but there were nine Republicans who voted "no," and the Republicans who voted "no" were Michele Bachmann (of Minnesota), Paul Broun (of Georgia), Francisco Canseco (of Texas), Scott DesJarlais (of Tennessee), Morgan Griffith (of Virginia), Connie Mack (of Florida), Ronald Paul (of Texas), and Dana Rohrabacher (of California).  The persons who did not cast votes were Earl Blumenauer (a Democrat related to Oregon), Michael Capuano (a Democrat related to Massachsuetts), Kathy Castor (a Democrat related to Florida), Keith Ellison (a Democrat related to Minnesota), Eliot Engel (a Democrat related to New York), Gabrielle Giffords (a Democrat related to Arizona), Maurice Hinchley (a Democrat related to New York), and Donald Young (a Republican related to Alaska).  The bill--also officially known as HR 2560--was passed on to the U.S. Senate, where it was "tabled" or, in essence, put on the shelf and ignored--through a vote of 51 "yes" votes to table it and 46 "no" votes to not table it (and three members (John McCain (a Republican related to Arizona), Kirsten Gillibrand (a Democrat related to New York), and John Kerry (a Democrat related to Maine) did not vote, and all the Republicans who voted voted "no," and all the Democrats who voted voted "yes," and the two Independents in the U.S. Senate voted "yes."

    More trouble came for the citizens of the United States of America on July 29, 2011, and that trouble was the passing of a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives called the "Budget Control Act of 2011," which it had been reported by the head of the U.S. Senate (Harry Reid, a Democrat related to Nevada) as something that would be "dead upon arrival" at the U.S. Senate.  I say that the bill was right from the start a bad bill, and it seemed to be a bill that was part of a bigger scheme involving the head Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives, the head Republicans in the U.S. Senate, the head Democrats in the U.S. Senate, and Barack Obama, and it seemed the scheme was to vote on a bill in the U.S. House of Representatives that was weak on taking on the problem with the rising debt figure of the U.S. government, give it to the U.S. Senate, which would not pass it, would make big changes to it, and would send it back to the U.S. House of Representatives; by the way, in the process to get a spending bill made into law, the bill must be initiated in the U.S. House of Representatives, and then the bill gets passed on to the U.S. Senate, and then there is more that can happen.  The Budget Control Act of 2011 was touted by the head Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives, especially by John Boehner (of Ohio), as something that would reduce the debt, though in reality it would barely cut the debt, and that had a balanced-budget-amendment feature (which, though, was written in a vague form, unlike how a similar feature had been written into the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act, which had somewhat recently been killed in the U.S. Senate).  "Conservatives" in the U.S. House of Representatives and a few prominent "conservative"-based radio talk-show hosts (such as Mark R. Levin) knew the bill while it was being made was a sham and defective and reported to the public that it was a bad piece of legislation, since, for one, it really did nothing to stop Barack Obama from spending more and more and did not reduce the debt in the long run, and 22 "conservative Republicans" voted "no" for the bill, but the bill passed anyway through a vote of 218 "yes" votes to 210 "no" votes (and five members did not vote).  Only Republicans voted "yes," and of the Democrats who voted, all voted "no."  The five persons who did not vote were Democrats, and they were Joe Baca (of California), Gabrielle Giffords (of Nevada), Maurice Hinchley (of New York), Jackie Speier (of California), and Maxine Waters (of California).  It is no matter that Democrats voted "no," since they probably voted  "no" for such reasons as to go against whatever the Republicans proposed and to not vote for any type of balanced-budget-amendment feature.  The 22 Republicans who voted "no," though what they were doing could to lead to a government shutdown, did that because the bill was truly bad for the country, even though it was being pushed through the U.S. House of Representatives by Republicans, and the 22 Republicans were Justin Amash (of Michigan), Michele Bachmann (of Minnesota), Paul Broun (of Georgia), Jason Chaffetz of Utah), Chip Cravaack (of Minnesota), Scott DesJarlais (of Tennessee), Jeff Duncan (of South Carolina), Trey Gowdy (of South Carolina), Tom Graves (of Georgia), Tim Huelskamp (of Kansas), Timothy Johnson (of Illinois), Jim Jordan (of Ohio), Steve King (of Iowa), Thomas Latham (Iowa), Connie Mack (of Florida), Tom McClintock (of California), Mick Mulvaney (of South Carolina), Ron Paul (of Texas), Tim Scott (of South Carolina), Steve Southerland (of Florida), Joe Walsh (of Illinois), and Addison "Joe" Wilson (of South Carolina), and these 22 persons should be remembered as having--at least this time--voted to save the country from a stinky bill and stinky process that was going to lead to something that on this date (July 29, 2011) seemed would not be good, given that, it seemed, it was something that the heads of the Republican Party in the U.S. Congress had been working on with Barack Obama, who without a doubt had already shown himself to be an enemy of the United States of America to those who support The United States Constitution and who do not support "enslavism," such as one form being pushed by Barack Obama--communism.  Oh, in essence, the U.S. Senate took a vote on the bill about an hour later, and the bill was "tabled," receiving 59 "yes" votes to table and 41 "no" votes.
    Well, on Monday, August 1, 2011, the hard-core "enslavists" in the U.S. House of Representatives (such as the radical blacks and communists of the Democrat Party) and the "soft-core enslavists" or the mushy politicians (such as those in the Republican Party who have not the courage to fight against the hard-core enslavists or such as those in the Republican Party who are stupid about the evilness of the hard-core enslavists) voted "yes" on the new Budget Control Act of 2011, which had recently come about through negotiations between the Barack Obama administration, the head Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives (such as John Boehner), the head Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives, the head Democrats in the U.S. Senate, and the head Republicans in the U.S. Senate (such as Mitch McConnell), and the bill was a truly bad piece of legislation, and yet it passed.  The Budget Control Act of 2011, which was not what was wanted by good people, such as "conservatives," in the country, was designed to allow Barack Obama to have another roughly $2-trillion to spend, through the raising of the "debt ceiling" by that amount, and it was not really designed to lead to no more taxes on everyone in the near future, and it was designed to cut spending by the federal agovenment--though, through only a promise, which was not binding on future U.S. Congresses--by about $2-trillion over the next ten years (or no more than about $200-billion as an average in each year), and the bill had a vaguely written feature in which the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives would be able to vote on some type of "balanced-budget amendment" that was intended to be something that might become a part of The United States Constitution (it was the vagueness of the "balanced-budget amendment" feature that was the problem and not that there was a "balanced-budget amendment" feature), and there were other bad parts in the bill.  On this day, the good American people got hurt because Barack Obama had won--before the vote was taken, Barack Obama had been in a win-win situation, since, for one, the bill had no really good "balanced-budget amendment" feature, like that in the recently defeated Cut, Cap, and Balance Act (remember, Barack Obama, who had shown himself to be a man who was purposely working to put the country more and more in debt, which, in reality, was putting the American citizens, who ultimately were and are beholden to pay out on the debt, in a more impoverished state, was not having to worry about being restrained through the enactment of the bill from hurting the country more).  I can say that the Republicans who pushed hard for the bill to be passed and the Republicans who voted "yes" have to be considered useless people or enemies of the United States of America for being stupid about the evilness of the Democrats or, more likely, for being secretly supporters of "enslavism" and the ways of enslavists, and that means either they are dangerous and have to be removed from office through vote in the future (when the time comes) or they cannot be trusted to uphold the values of "conservatism."  By the way, while the bill was being crafted, it was being hinted by radio talk-show hosts and news outlets that top-name credit-rating agencies, such as Moody's, were considering reducing the credit rating of the federal government--because of the amount of debt being run up by the federal government--and this bill did not seriously address the debt problem, and, in fact, the bill was really a sham perpetrated on the American public (and I wonder if credit-rating agencies were hinting at reducing the credit rating to scare politicians into voting "yes" for the Budget Control Act of 2011, which was not harmful in the long run to Barack Obama).   It is noted "for the record" that, while the bill was being made, people, especially the communists and liars in the main media, were promoting the idea that the country would go into default if the "debt ceiling" was not raised by August 2, 2011, which I knew was not possible, since I knew the country takes in revenue every day and would have had enough to pay the true debt that came due if the debt ceiling was not raised, and also some people, working to scare the stupid Americans in the country, promoted the idea that the stock markets would go into a free-fall state if the "debt ceiling" was not raised, which I did not believe, feeling the stock markets will really go into a free-fall state in the near future if the debt amount for the federal government is not reduced greatly by really reducing spending (raising taxes is the evil politician's way of reducing the deficit, since it takes way the value of lives of Americans and can lead to more spending and more spending, and that is the way of Barack Obama, who believes the federal government actually owns everything in the country, such as every man's time).  This bill was passed through a vote of 269 "yes" votes to 161 "no" votes (and three members did not vote).  I report that all Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives should be considered enemies of the United States of America, no mater how they voted, since they support Barack Obama, who is truly a dysfunctional man and an evil man.  In relation to this bad bill, 174 Republicans voted "yes," and they made a bad choice by voting "yes," and 66 Republicans voted "no," and, generally speaking, the Republicans who voted "no" can be praised, but I heard--but cannot report properly--that near end of the voting, some people changed their votes from "yes" to "no," maybe doing that after it was clear that the bill would pass and they could get away with saying, later, that they voted "no" (it is unknown if Republicans switched from "yes" to "no" or if Democrats switched from "yes" to "no").
    Well, well, then on Tuesday, August 2, 2011, the U.S. Senate took a vote on the Budget Control Act of 2011.  The bill was passed through a vote, in which there were 74 "yes" votes and 26 "no" votes.  Seven Democrats voted "no," but a person should understand, those "no" votes probably were cast for various reasons, one of which is the Democrats--in states with a lot of voters who are Independents and Republicans that are weary of Barack Obama's policies--could say that they voted "no" to voters in their states.  Nineteen Republicans voted "no," and, this time, they did something right for the count whatever reason was their true reason for voting "no."
      To see how each member of the U.S. Congress voted for the Budget Control Act of 2011, look for the "BCA" listing for each person listed below.
    Special note #1: All the Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives should have voted "no" on August 1, 2011, so that Barack Obama would have been forced to make a move, such as give up at least a little more on his wishes or make a proposal in writing (for the first time in relation to the events going on), and, maybe, Barack Obama would have chosen the option to raise the "debt ceiling" through an Executive Order based on what he perceived he could do under the 14th Amendment of The United States Constitution, which, I say, would be constitutionally wrong and would show the public that Barack Obama is truly working like a communist-style dictator and which could help cement his failure in a run for a second term as the U.S. President (you are urged to see my document entitled A Tactical Move for a Dictator, Barack Hussein Obama: It is a Crisis for the United States of America, which can be reached by using this link: Dictator).
    Special note #2: The entire process in which this bill became law and the features of the bill should make a person understand it is very possible many Republicans will not take up the fight to kill the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, if it becomes possible in 2013.

    A bad event for good American citizens took place in the U.S. Senate on the evening of Thursday, October 6, 2011, and it is reported here, and the event was even supported by some Republicans.  In essence, what happened in a vote was taken on an issue that now restricts Republicans' efforts to add amendments to bills in the U.S. Senate.  To learn more about the topic, I provide information from an article, and I provide text from a radio interview between Mark R. Levin (the host of the nationally syndicated radio show called The Mark Levin Show) and U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (a Republican of South Carolina) that took place a little after the vote had taken place
    There are two parts to the radio interview (one of which was broadcast at the end of the second hour of the three-hour radio show, and the other of which was broadcast at the beginning of the third hour of the radio show).
    Here is part one:
    Mark Levin: "Senator Jim DeMint, Senator DeMint, we tracked you down.  What just happened the Senate floor?"
    Jim DeMint: "Well, I know your listeners, Mark, don't want more bad news.  But, um, the Senate has had a tradition of, ah, allowing amendments and debate on just about anything, and we've got a bill about, dah, you know, putting tariffs on, ah, China in retaliation for currency manipulation.  We can argue about that another day.  But, ah, the majority leader, um, said that we could not have any amendments, um, before we voted on proceeding or going to cloture as they call it, and then, they just passed a rule that was completely unprecedented.  And I don't know how many people can understand this, but, ah, post-cloture before the final vote, we've always had the ability to go in and suspend the rules and ask for a vote on an amendment.  Now, when you do that, it requires 67 to pass it, but it gives you a chance to be heard, an even in the minority, um, it is to let people know what it is you think needs to be added to a bill.  But what they done is they've just overruled the parliamentarian, ah--51 of them--and, um, said we could not do that.  So, in this case now, we, we can't even offer amendments.  We can't suspend the rules to even get a vote, and they're not even allowin' us to speak.  Um...."
    Mark Levin: "So, Senator, does this basically mean that Harry Reid can drive whatever legislation he wants to?"
    Jim DeMint: "Well, it does.  And it's, it's, he's basically gagged, um ah, the Republicans in this case, and he set a terrible precedent.  As slow as the Senate is, that's the way it was intended by our, our founders, and so things wouldn't go through here like a, a railroad--that we had to stop and talk about it, and particularly today, that gives America the time to find out what we're talkin' about.  And, um, ...."
    Mark Levin: "So, is the filibuster rule ef, effectively crippled at least in a number of circumstances?"
    Jim DeMint: "...It's, it's crippled in a lot of ways.  Now, unfortunately, some Republicans went with the Democrats today, to give, give them the sixty votes that they needed proceed to this, even though we didn't have any amendments.  And, and normally the party has stuck together--if they won't give us amendments, we won't give them cloture.  But several of our guys did today, and, um, that put us in a bad spot.  But the, the...."
    A few more words were spoken, but they dealt with going to a commercial break, so I do not present them.
    Here is part two:
    Mark Levin: "...I want to start from the top with our good friend Jim DeMint.  So, Senator DeMint, the so-called 'nuclear option' was triggered, which means, as I understand it, Harry Reid, ah, used 51 votes to change a rule.  Do I have that right?"
    Jim DeMint: "Yeah, that's right, and the rule basically, ah, is what allows us to have amendments--let's the minority have amendments.  So, it pretty much shut down the amendment process.  And, Mark, the most disturbing thing is that this is part of a pattern--not only in Congress
but in the administration.  Either they, they cram down the, ah, 'Obamacare' by basically changing the rules and reworking things to get it through, ah, when they couldn't under regular order.  And they've done the same thing with, ah, the, the Dodd-Frank, um.  And so they're just cramming one thing down the throats of the American people after, after the other, and, um, it, it's it's deeply disturbing.  So this is beyond politics for me.  As I see the administration goin' around Congress basically makin' laws.  The EPA closin' down businesses with their regulations on.  This, this is a stunning time in America where we're supposed to be the open Democracy and things are pretty much now with the 'super committee' goin' on behind closed doors.  You can't offer amendments in the Senate.  So, I think we're in for the fight of our lives.  And, um, again, 2012 is our last chance to turn this thing around."
    Mark Levin: "They're, ah, they're fightin' for their political existence--country be damned.  That's the way I see this.  And I'm gonna tell you something else, Senator, ah, there's an awful lot of unconstitutional things goin' on now.  This is very dangerous period for our republic, isn't it?"
    Jim DeMint: "It is!  And I've said before, ah, we're, we're teetering on tyranny.  Um, and we really are!  Um, and we take a lot for granted in America, and, um, but this was given to us by people who fought for it, and we're gonna have to fight for it again, and, and I'm mean with our voices and our vote and our feet and speakin' out.  And what happened in 2010 has to be small compared to what has to happen in 2012.  Ah, so, I, I, you know, I'm, I'm ready to leave here fighting.  We can't accomplish, ah, any form of reasonableness through the democratic process in the Congress any longer.  Ah, we really are, um, gonna have to stand up for those...."
    Mark Levin; "We're at the precipice, aren't we?"
    Jim DeMint: "We, we really are, Mark.  And, and I, I don't want to, ah, disturb people.  People have had enough bad news, ah, in the last few years.  But, um, we're continuing to go down hill, and my, my hope is we can minimize the damage until the election.  Ah, but, dah, we have states where, ah, Democrat Senators are up, and we haven't gotten Republicans to run yet, and I just would hope people all over the country would help us get, get good candidates--not just in Republican in name--but real conservatives who understand the principles of American exceptionalism, and we're gonna have to take this fight to them.  Ah, we, we've got a big battle because half of Americans, as we've seen in reports this week, are gettin' something from the government--ah, they don't pay federal income taxes, so the rest of us are gonna have to show up and speak up and, um, and get some folks elected who can turn this thing around."
    Mark Levin: "What is this, ah, roll-call vote I'm looking at--62 to 38?  What was that all about?"
    Jim DeMint: "Well, unfortunately, um, some our Republicans decided that they wanted to, um, um, um, basically, go with the Democrats to put a bill on the floor, um, that is just a messaging bill.  It's, ah...ah, it's not gonna get through the House the way...."
    Mark Levin: "On China.  On currency."
    Jim DeMint: "Yeah.  And, ah, I, I'm frustrated with their currency.  But the, the fact is not gonna fix it.  It is just gonna create a trade war, retaliation.  It's, it's gonna hurt middle-class Americans."
    Mark Levin: "Well, here's what I'm tryin' to understand, though.  So, they, he says--Reid--I'm the dictator here.  This is Mark speaking.  Ah, there aren't gonna be any amendments.  Um, he gets 62 votes for the bill."
    Jim DeMint: "Right."
    Mark Levin: "And what should have happened is every Republican vote against it is a protest, correct, in my humble opinion?"
    Jim DeMint: "Right!  And every, and all of us asks...Mitch McConnell and a number of us said we have to stick together just to defend our rights.  It's not about the bill any longer.  Ah, but we had, ah, you know, six or seven, ah...."
    Mark Levin: "No, you had more that.  I'm countin' them right here, and I won't read their names until you leave, so they don't think you gave me this.  I looked it up myself."
    Jim DeMint: "Yeah."
    Mark Levin: "But it is atrocious.  Ah, I mean, I haven't counted them, but you're, you're close to ten."
    Jim DeMint: "Yeah.  Well, I, I, I'm not faulting people for thinking we need to do something about China cheating.  Don't get me wrong.  But this bill is not gonna do that.  This is just chest thumping.  Ah, China's our banker.  They're laughing at us."
    Mark Levin: "Well, here's what I see, Senator.  That, that Reid used that bill in order to change the rule."
    Jim DeMint: "Well, he did!  And so, we, some of our own Republicans contributed to this, and, and, dah, put, put us in a really bad position.  And it's not just for tonight.  Ah, this is, this is probably it for the next year and a half until we can change the Senate and change the rules again, ah, to make it a more open process.  So, we're in a heap of hurt here.  Um, the only way we're gonna win this, if the American people help us."
    Mark Levin: "So the point is--this rule has now been changed...."
    Jim DeMint: "Yes!"
    Mark Levin: "...He gonna be able to block filibusters, block amendments, block, ah, you know, deliberative, ah, periods of time, and he used this bill to do it, right?"
    Jim DeMint: "Right.  He'll still have to get 60 votes on bills, so that doesn't mean officially the filibuster is over, but what it does mean is the majority can keep us from offering any amendments.  Ah, and, ah, that's, ah, that's just unprecedented in, in American democracy."
    There is a bit more to the interview, but that is all that I shall present, and since the interview is a little unclear about what happened I continue on:
    So what happened?  Roll-call vote number 156 was held on the bill (S. 1619), and it passed--62 to 38--and the vote was related to "cloture," and enough votes came to get the bill passed a potential filibuster.  Next, though, it was time to add or not add amendments to the bill, and there was, in essence, a battle between Harry Reid (the head of the U.S. Senate) and the highest-rankiing Republican (Mitch McConnell) on adding amendments, and what happened is: "As McConnell ranted about the right of Republicans to pick their own amendments, Reid quietly pulled out a procedural move few others saw coming (even though Reid was planning it since Thursday morning): raising a point of order against using motions to suspend the rules, then objecting to it on McConnell's behalf, and finally, instructing his caucus-all but one of whom did as instructede--to vote against the objecton.  The vote was 48 to 51.  Boom.  Motions to suspend amendments are dead."  [Demirjian, Karoun.  "Harry Reid changes arcane U.S. Senate rules to make a point."  Las Vegas Sun, 6 October 2011, 7:57 pm.].
    In essence, the bill known as S. 1619 was nothing more than flap doodle--something that was supposed to put down the Chinese.  On "cloture," the vote was 62 "yes" votes to 38 "no" votes, and thirteen Republicans voted with Harry Reid, and the thirteen Republicans who voted "yes" were: Scott Brown (of Massachusetts), Richard Burr (North Carolina), Saxby Chambliss (Georgia), Thad Cochran (Mississippi), Susan Collins (Maine), Lindsey Graham (South Carolina), John Hoeven (North Dakota), Johnny Isakson (Georgia), Rob Portman (Ohio), Jeff Sessions (Alabama), Richard Shelby (Alabama), Olympia Snowe (Maine), and Sheldon Whitehouse (Rhode Island).  Three Democrats voted "no"--for whatever reason, one of which might be that "cloture" on the bill had already passed when it was time for them to vote--and they were: Maria Cantwell (Washington), Claire McCaskill (of Missouri), and Patty Murray (Washington).  By the way, Joseph Lieberman (an "Independent" related to Connecticut) and Bernard Sanders (an "Independent" related to Vermont) voted "yes."  On the "Decision of the Chair" (or roll-call vote number 157), the vote was 48 "yes" votes to 51 "no" votes, and one member did not vote (Barbara Boxer, who is a Democrat related to California).  All the Republicans voted "yes," and one Democrat (Ben Nelson, who is related to Nebraska) voted "yes."  It was Democrats and Independents who voted "no" on roll-call vote number 157.
    So a garbage bill ("A bill to provide for identification of misaligned currency, require action to correct the misalignment, and for other purposes"), which Jim DeMint knew was not going anywhere, since he knew it would not pass the U.S. House of Representatives, was used by Harry Reid to change the amendment process in the U.S. Senate, and thirteen Republicans--who did not stand with Mitch McConnell--helped Harry Reid by being stupid, lazy, or gullible.

    The Democratic Party of the United States of America is a communist party today, and it will probably be that for decades and decades, which means the members of the Democratic Party will be enemies of the United States of America for decades and decades and continue to work to make "enslavism" commonplace in the country ("enslavism," such as one version call "communism," is bad for good people, since it is a philosophy that pushes the idea that a few persons should have ultimate power over all others, whom communists call "the masses").  Around July 25, 2012, the United States of America was in economic recession--if not depression--and yet almost all the members of the Democratic Party who were members of the U.S. Senate voted "yes" to pass a bill called the Middle Class Tax Cut Act, which would pile more taxes on private-sector businesses.  The bill passed the U.S. Senate with 51 "yes" votes and 48 "no" votes (and one person, Mark Kirk (a Republican related to Illinois) did not vote).  Fifty Democrats voted "yes" to pass the bill, and only one Democrat (Jim Webb, of Virginia, who was getting ready to retire) did not vote "yes," choosing to vote "no," and one "Independent" voted "yes," and that person was Bernard Sanders (of Vermont).  Joe Lieberman (an Independent" related Connecticut), who would soon leave the U.S. Senate when the term ended, voted "no," and 46 Republicans (all the Republicans who voted) voted "no."

    Around December 2012, people--especially Barack Obama and members of the U.S. Congress--were pushing the idea that the country was soon to fall off a "fiscal cliff," because, for one, the income tax rates for everyone in the country were going to automatically go up (the rates had been set in 2001 and 2003 during the U.S. President George W. Bush days and had been set to expire on January 1, 2013).  At the time, the regular national debt was 16-trillion dollars (or 16,000-billion dollars), and the figure did not take into account "unfunded liabilities" (such as Social Security payments), and at the time, Barack Obama and, basically, Speaker of the House John Boehner (a Republican) were negotiating on passing legislation to help keep the country from going over the "fiscal cliff."   Basically, Barack Obama wanted tax rates to go up (though, in essence, he was responsible for adding about five-trillion dollars to the national debt up to the moment, which was more debt added than all that that had been added during the terms of all the other U.S. Presidents), and he was not really proposing any real cuts in spending and he was even pushing the idea that something to raise taxes now should be done and that he would work on cutting spending in the future (and he was even was pushing to have the federal government have no "debt limit," which would put no upper limit on the amount of spending that he could do).  On the other hand, John Boehner was making proposals that would raise taxes on at least the so-called rich, and the proposals, which did not really tackle the big problem of the country, which was too much spending by the federal government, made "conservative" Republicans angry, since the proposals with the tax-rate increases went against their core beliefs or the core beliefs of the Republican Party--not to raise tax rates.  On Thursday, December 20, 2012, during the day, John Boehner was pushing for a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives on his "Plan B," and he was threatening "conservatives" with the idea that they could lose committee assignments if they did not vote for his "Plan B."  Incidentally, it was public knowledge that, if "Plan B" passed through the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate was not going to take up the legislation, and if "Plan B" passed the U.S. Congress, Barack Obama was going to veto the bill.  What happened is "Plan B" did not come for a vote, being pulled by John Boehner, when signs of opposition from "conservative" Republicans was clearly shown (such as in a procedural vote).  During the negotiations, John Boehner came off as a bad negotiator, and he showed he was willing to undermine the core beliefs of the Republican Party, and, in essence, it was yet another time in which John Boehner acted more like a Democrat (such as a socialist) and even like a soft-line Barack Obama than like a Republican, often framing he sentences spoken in public like those of Barack Obama's.  Here, in this document, I do not have to show any votes related to "Plan B" in the U.S. House of Representatives, but I do note that John Boehner showed himself once again to be a bad Republican and a bad man and even a man who seemed to be working in league with Barack Obama or on Barack Obama's side (John Boehner sort of came off like U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, who had been perceived to be at least a somewhat "conservative" judge when he was hired and who had been instrumental in upholding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 as constitutional earlier in the year in the U.S. Supreme Court, which showed that he was like a socialist and was like an enemy to the country and The United States Constitution).
    [Note: To learn more about the decision on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 in the U.S. Supreme Court, you are urged to see my document entitled Not Supreme in Nature -- The U.S. Supreme Court and the "Obamacare" Decision: The Majority Pushed "Enslavism" on the Country, which can be reached by using this link: Supreme.]

    In late 2012, the big story was the "fiscal cliff," which many Americans had a bad definition of in mind.  The "fiscal cliff" was being pushed, especially by the media, as a fiscal disaster that would come on January 1, 2012, when the tax rates established in 2001 and 2003, which were for all the tax brackets, would expire, and every person's income tax rate would go up.  Really, the "fiscal cliff" was not being discussed, and that "fiscal cliff" not being talked about was some type of big crash that would come in the near future because the debt amount for federal government was great and was getting greater every moment--Barack Obama had added about five-trillion dollars (or five-thousand-billion dollars) to the federal debt in the past four years, and much of the debt amount was wasted money.  On Tuesday, January 1, 2012, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill focusing on the so-called "fiscal cliff" (the phony "fiscal cliff" and not the real "fiscal cliff," which had already passed the U.S. Senate, that was hailed by the Democrats (communists and such) and some Republicans as a good deal for the country, even though the bill, which would soon be signed into law by Barack Obama, had no real cuts in spending by the federal government and which had tax increases and which had a lot of "pork," such as tax breaks for, for example, film producers.  (Remember: Many film and television producers and writers and actors support the Democratic Party, which is now a communist party, and no learn a bit about tax credits, you should see my document entitled Film and Television Tax Credits: The Bad Side of the Issue, which can be reached by using this Tax Credits link.)  The vote came out as 257 "yes" votes (172 Democrats voted "yes," and 85 Republicans voted "yes") and 167 "no" votes (16 Democrats voted "no," and 151 Republicans voted "no"); eight members did not vote.  Really, the bill--the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012--had a title that was a lie, since for many persons, there would be no tax relief, and through the voting process, many members of the U.S. Congress showed their unconcern about the real "fiscal cliff" by working to pass the bill, and Barack Obama by signing the bill into law showed his uncaring attitude about the real "fiscal cliff."  This document shows only how the bill was voted on in the U.S. House of Representatives, which was, at the time, controlled by the Republicans, many of whom failed the American people and the country by voting "yes" for the bill.
    [I have to note that the voting results for the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 are deceiving.  There are times when members of the U.S. Congress vote in a way that is opposite that which they would really want to do--such as when a bill already passes before it is their time to vote; members of Congress make such an opposite vote to please those voters who might vote against them in the future for voting against what voters might want or would be good for the country (as it was founded).  On Thursday, January 3, 2012, U.S. Representative Candice Miller (a Republican related to Michigan) was a guest on The Frank Beckmann Show, a radio show broadcast on weekday mornings on WJR-AM (Detroit), and she noted that, after the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 had enough votes to pass, a big number of the members of the U.S. House of Representatives who had yet to vote went on to vote "no."  It seems I can note that some of the persons who voted "no" for the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 faked it.]
