SENATOR WAYNE ALLARD

Yesterday the Senate voted to ban the use of torture by US troops. That's not news.

The news is that the vote was 90 to 9. That's right, nine United States Senators went on the record in favor of torture, and one couldn't be bothered to vote on it.

The nine torturers are:

• Wayne Allard (R-Colorado)
• Christopher Bond (R-Missouri)
• Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma)
• Thad Cochran (R-Mississippi)
• John Cornyn (R-Texas)
• James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma)
• Pat Roberts (R-Kansas)
• Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama)
• Ted Stevens (R-Alaska)

Note that all nine are Republicans. The one Senator who didn't vote was Jon Corzine (D-New Jersey). Dunno what was up with that - maybe he was sick.

Why Does Wayne Allard Hate the Constitution?

Wayne Allard:

"I believe we have a problem with Social Security that will emerge in 2018," he said. "At that point in time, Social Security pay out will be more than what is in the fund put in by working people or employers."

Allard said there are no reserves in Social Security because what is there is automatically transferred into the general fund, leaving a debt of $28 trillion. But he doesn't believe the money will ever be repaid to the fund.

"The money is spent," he said. "I don't believe in my own opinion we'll be able to raise the funds to pay it back."

14th amendment:

Section. 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned

 

Tell your Senators to Oppose the Marriage Protection Amendment
Senator Wayne Allard (R-CO) is reintroducing the Marriage Protection Amendment, making it one of the first items of business of Bush's second term. In light of the many serious issues that our country is facing, it is absolutely outrageous that a small group of right-wing Senators would make discriminating against GLBT people their top priority.
