Sad news on Senate budget recon vote

[Great Lakes Organizer Gal]

We lost the Senate vote on the budget reconciliation bill by 47 - 52.
The only Republicans who voted against it were Dewine of OH, Coleman of
MN, Snowe and Collins in Maine, and Chafee of Rhode Island.

And the only Democrats to vote for it were Nelson of Nebraska and
Landrieu of Lousiana. Apparently we should be weary of Democratic
Senators with the same initial as their states.

For those in Ohio, please thank Senator Dewine - he is one of a few
brave souls! And the Senate will get another chance to vote once the
budget comes out of conference committee, if the House votes for their
budget next week.

So it's on to block the House vote next week - we have to get to these
guys in any way we can!!!!!
