On the subject of labor, a bill was voted today in the House, called Promoting Job Creation and Reducing Small Business Burdens Act, combined 11 different bills aimed at weakening Dodd-Frank into a single package. Thirty-five Democrats voted for it. Should we be concerned that Democrats are supporting weakening Dodd-Frank and helping Wall Street?
Here are the 35 House Democrats: Brad Ashford (NE-02), Ami Bera (CA-07), Don Beyer (VA-08), Sanford Bishop (GA-02), Julia Brownley (CA-26), Cheri Bustos (IL-17), John Carney (DE-AL), Gerry Connolly (VA-11), Henry Cuellar (TX-28), John Delaney (MD-06), Suzan DelBene (WA-01), Elizabeth Esty (CT-05), Bill Foster (IL-11), John Garamendi (CA-03), Gwen Graham (FL-02), Jim Himes (CT-04), Hank Johnson (GA-04), Derek Kilmer (WA-06), Ron Kind (WI-03), Rick Larsen (WA-02), Dan Lipinski (IL-03), David Loebsack (IA-02), Sean Maloney (NY-18), Patrick Murphy (FL-18), Scott Peters (CA-52), Collin Peterson (MN-07), Jared Polis (CO-02), Mike Quigley (IL-05), Raul Ruiz (CA-36), Bobby Rush (IL-01), Kurt Schrader (OR-05), David Scott (GA-13), Terri Sewell (AL-07), Kyrsten Sinema (AZ-09), Albio Sires (NJ-08).
