Senate Blocks GOP Effort to Include Census Citizenship Question

Senate Democrats on Thursday rejected a GOP attempt to require next year's census forms to include a question about citizenship status -- an effort opponents called anti-immigrant.

The proposal by Republican Sens. David Vitter of Louisiana and Robert Bennett of Utah was aimed at excluding non-citizens from the population totals that are used to figure the number of congressional representatives for each state.

But the Vitter plan fell after a 60-39 procedural vote made it ineligible for inclusion in a bill funding the census.

There you have it folks the 60 votes on strict Party lines are all about Power and Greed,  they don't care SQUAT about Congress reflecting the desire of American CITIZENS.

 Call your Senators and thank them for standing up for you and your Family, or Not as the Case may be,
