Rep. Miller Votes No on Republicans' Gotcha' Politics
REP. MILLER VOTES NO ON
REPUBLICANS’ ‘GOTCHA’ POLITICS
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Early this morning, the House of Representatives approved a final annual spending bill for the U.S. Department of Defense for the 2006 fiscal year. Rep. George Miller (D-Martinez), who voted in favor of the original defense bill earlier this year when it was first considered by the House, said today that he opposed the final version this morning because Republican leaders deliberately attached to it unrelated and highly controversial provisions that had nothing to do with defense but everything to do with politics.
