Votes This Past Week From Select N.C. Reps. and Senators

    You know that I keep up with the way that my Reps. and Senators vote here in my home state, basically to see if the Republican side of the fence is still stepping in line with Bush or if they might have learned something last November. It also helps to keep the citizens here a little better informed of how their employees are doing.

  I only report on my Congressional District since they are my local Reps.
