White House Against Military Pay Raise

-Yesterday was a very busy day in the House of Representatives. Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce (OH-15) continues to keep marching with her Republican leadership in her votes. (See Washington Post for voting records.) She voted against ---

Vote 377: S CON RES 21: Setting Forth the Congressional Budget for the United States Government for Fiscal Year 2008 and Including the Appropriate Budgetary Levels for Fiscal Years 2007 and 2009 Through 2012
S CON Res. 21 passed without Pryce's support.

-The White House is against a military pay raise. Raw Story has the details:
The White House has come out in opposition to a proposal by Congress to raise military pay by 3.5 percent, according to a report by Army Times....
Even though our military has been forced to have 2, 3, and 4 tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, the White House is against a pay raise. Is that a way to support the troops?

Buzzflash has an interview with author, Greg Palast. Palast has written a book on how to prevent Rove and others from stealing an election again.
