The man who took a courageous stand for his constituents,
Rep. Anh Cao(R) LA.
"I know that voting against the health care bill will probably be the death of my political career," Cao said. But, referring to his opposition to abortion, he said, "I have to live with myself, and I always reflect on the phrase of the New Testament, 'How does it profit a man's life to gain the world but to lose his soul. ''~ Anh Cao (R)LA
If you care to find out who they are and how they voted, check here.
"The bill passed by a 220-215 margin and garnered the unexpected backing of one Republican, Rep. Anh "Joseph" Cao of Louisiana.
I was happy for Rep. Cao when he won the election because I knew: (1) he is a very smart man and (2) he represents a district in which "twenty percent of the people are uninsured and they have tremendous health care issues and he believed this is good for the people of his district.
Rep. Cao should feel courageous for what he has done, if he represents the people, then the people will re-elect him. He answers to the people who elected him and not the Republican Party, I'd rather have a real man representing me than a coward any day of the week. There's no need for him to worry about not getting re-elected because his actions showed more powerful than words that could ever be spoken.
The other's don't represent the people, but instead , special interest, big business and the status quo. If any of our elected officials claim to care about the well being of each and everyone of their countrymen, then they'd better show me better than I can see what they actually do. All I hear is just lip service and see selective support.
Where was Senator Mary Landrieu?? I want to know where was her vote and why was she missing from all of the action? It appears to me that she would rather hide than have the courage than take a stand. Since Sen. Mary Landrieu has received $1.3 million from the health sector since 1995 that may be the reason for her absence.
