| UPDATE: Just put a link to the vote tally on the 79-14; and included audio on Senator Landrieu's press conference earlier today after the vote.
Just a few minutes ago, the U.S. Senate voted to override our compassionate President's veto of the Water Resources Development Act by a final vote of 79-14. Apparently, two Democrats - Feingold of Wisconsin and McCaskill of Missouri voted nay, along with 12 Republicans.
This is crucial to Louisiana's future, as it can authorize up to $7,000,000,000 worth of projects to save our coastline, and protect our people from another devastating hurricane, or God forbid, another Federal Flood.
As soon as the vote record is up, I will update, and inform y'all which Senators don't care about Louisiana, or in the case of Florida, the Everglades. Those are the ones that oughta be targeted by the Democrats, and tied down to Mr. 24%.
Here's the link to Senator Landrieu's statement at the press conference.
