Pretty clear which party supports passenger rail, huh?
I am proud to see Mike Castle (R-DE) not on this list.
True, though he is a Northeast Republican, who’s voting record would make him a Democrat almost anywhere else in the country.
And that is how us Northeast Republicans like our Representatives. :-)
Give the R’s some time gentlemen, the paradigm has shifted in Spending. The line of investment and spending has now been blurred big time for many republicans. With the need for alternative travel a huge culture shift must occur and is occuring, so a lot of the GOP are having growing pains.
Marsha Blackburn is my Congressman.
She is no conservative.
See her unconstitutional votes at :

The party of NO is well represented I see. I am glad to see no D’s on the list. House Republican’s alone are a powerless group right now, they can’t filibuster and they don’t have enough votes to stop any legislation.
man what does Republicans have against trains?
OH WAIT they are fiends with oils!
