Hello FreeRepublic. My name is Nathan I'm a GIS Mapping Technician in Ohio. I want to put my skills to good use in trying to restore America to its common sense roots.
I created this map to show the votes of representatives on HR2454, otherwise known as Cap and Trade. If you are so inclined you can contact the representatives that voted for it and ask them to redact their votes. If you want to download the better PDF that better shows counties and congressional districts, go to my SkyDrive and download.
Feel free to pass it on to anyone you think might benefit from it.
Can you make a map where it is the yeas vs the nays, no party affiliation? Thanks.
This question came up yesterday. Can votes on the bill be redacted? If anyone knows with certainty, please comment.
Excellent work! If I were younger I would get into the GIS field. I’m not starting a new career though. We do use GIS in our caving endeavors though. I understand the basics but don’t have the time to put forth to learn it all. I’m fluent in GPS, numerous databases, map datum, etc. Great work dude!
Welcome to FR
Interesting. Thanks for posting!
Very nice! Thanks for posting this!
I believe that the map contains an error.
Dennis Moore, Democrat, KC KS, voted YES, I think.
Sweet! I’ll save this and see how the gerrymandering works out after the census. :)
No. The House is in recess until 1 day after the 5 day redaction period ends. The only hope is the Senate.
HR 2454 is now HR 2998
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h2998/show
“The American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES), HR 2998 (formerly HR 2454) passed the House of Representatives today by a vote of 219 to 212. ...”

Great Job on the Map!
Thanks. I had read that yesterday and hoped it wasn't true.
Welcome to Fr...Good map RE clean energy act. Thank you for your contribution.
Do those #’s go in sequence? If so, what is HR2455 through HR2997? Is that about 540 other shady things??
Great map. I do GIS work too, but unfortunately my work is not as interesting as this.

Thank you. It’s really helpful.
Fantastic work, GISPatriot! Thank you for your time, talent, and tenacity. It is very helpful to see how the country is divided in its views. Appreciate you!
Thanks for the map...fairly typical distribution for the usual suspects. Whats up with S.W. Va.? Thought there wouldn’t be so many Dem reps that part of the state?
Looks right. Mercifully, Matheson voted against this abortion.
