Kline: Mr. No - Status Quo

Congressman John Kline (aka Mr. NO) would rather keep the culture of corruption in Washington rather than change it. He was given ample opportunity to vote for change this month, but every time he voted NO in support of the status quo. He'd rather NOT implement recommendations to make our country safer. He'd rather NOT lower drug prices by allowing the government to negotiate with drug companies.

Here is his record from congress.org

Implementing the 9/11Commission Recommendations Act - Vote Passed (299-128, 8 Not Voting)
This House bill is intended to implement the remaining 9/11 Commission homeland security recommendations.

This House bill would raise the minimum wage from $5.15 per hour to $7.25 over the next two years.

Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act - Vote Passed (253-174, 8 Not Voting)
This House bill would expand federal funding of embryonic stem cell research.

Medicare Prescription Drug Price Negotiation Act - Vote Passed (255-170, 10 Not Voting)
This House bill would require the government to negotiate Medicare prescription drug prices with pharmaceutical companies.

Americans sent a clear message in the last election that we're tired of the status quo. Even though Congressman NO won reelection, he's not taking note of that message. Lesson is, if you're tired of the status quo, get rid of Congressman NO (aka John Kline) in 2008.
