Questions

** Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce voted against the passage of the S-Miner Act (HR 2768) in the House of Representatives yesterday, according to the Washington Post. The S-Miner Act is a bill to improve the safety of miners. Why would Pryce vote against the safety of miners? Would it be because of contributions received from people like Robert Murray, president of Murray Energy Company? According to Open Secrets, Robert Murray and his staff, have contributed over $127,000 to Pryce, George W. Bush, and other Republican members of Congress (see Open Secrets).

** Now we must deal with meat from cloned animals. Since the FDA has approved cloned meat for sale in our stores, will members of the FDA eat this cloned meat and serve it to their children?
