House should take up Senate bill to extend the middle class tax cuts. They shouldn't be held hostage for bonus breaks for the best off #my2k

GOP #fiscalcliff deal is the wrong track. It is simply wrong to cut Social Security and Medicare to pay for extra tax cuts for super wealthy
Frustrated & saddened by failure to ratify treaty on rights of ppl w disabilities. Plain & simple, Sen voted against equal opportunity today
