"The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2009 was voted on in the House of Representatives last week. The bill passed and will provide federal funding for ongoing medical care for first responders and victims of the 9/11 disaster.

The legislation was sponsored by Representative Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) with 115 co-sponsors including Peter King (R-NY). The bill which seemed to be a bipartisan effort was not expected to fail. But of the 15 Republican co-sponsors, only 12 voted for their own bill."

"The following names are the people in Congress that voted AGAINST helping the 9/11 1st Responders with health care. There are about 900 dead responders since the attacks 9 years ago, and tens of thousands more sick and dying. When everybody was running away from Ground Zero, these people were running in to save as many people as they can. The people on this list feel that we should not help them. Please adjust your voter ballots accordingly in November."

This is pretty much what I think about these inane
conspiracy theories.

Do not make conspiracy theories about this terrorist
attack. The evidence is overwhelming and well analyzed.
There is no proof whatsoever that any of the conspiracy
theories have any basis at all.

These are the facts...

Does it surprise you that so many representatives voted against this bill? It shouldn't. The Republican Party is intent upon stopping all legislation until it can regain power. Doesn't matter that it's good legislation. The actions of the Republicans cleary show that their only real goal is to make the wealthy wealthier. Everyone else is inconsequential and expendible.

This thread is about the responders...what fact does that make of you sir?

Well of course, ask 9 out of 10 GOPers/T-baggers what they are FOR and they'll just look at you with a blank stare. This party of morons has no clue. Their "Just say no" is their agenda? For what?

Saying no to the first responders of 9-11? Makes them appear like they could care less...but they don't care...not human.

I just say no to every agenda of the left.

they have seemed to be the party of no,,, I think most dont want government 'interference' unless it directly benefits them,,,
