Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce (OH-15) apparently has not gotten the message from the recent election. She is still following the mantra of the Republicans and voting for bills that support their pro-business, anti-regular people. Also, it appears that Pryce has not voted in some recent votes in the House of Representatives. The Washington Post has the full rundown but here are a few key votes:
>On 12/9/06, Pryce did not vote on Vote 543: S3546 and Vote 542: S3718. Did she not vote on purpose or was she absent? If she was absent, what was more important than voting?
>On 12/5/06, Pryce voted yes on Vote 525: HR 1176, which would have protected certain groups from lawsuits. (WP) To provide immunity for nonprofit athletic organizations in lawsuits arising from claims of ordinary negligence relating to the passage, adoption, or failure to adopt rules of play for athletic competitions and practices. The passage of this bill would have made it impossible for regular people to get help because of negligence. Why does Pryce continue to vote for bills like this?
>On 12/6/06, Pryce voted yes for the very extreme right wing unborn child pain awareness act (Vote 526: HR 6099), which promotes the propaganda of the far right conservative religious groups.
The recount is still underway in Ohio's 15th district. Until we know the final outcome, Pryce continues to march with the right wing Republican leadership. Pryce needs to wake up and smell the coffee because her constituents do not all agree with her agenda.
