I skipped the VP work bill because it might need to be transformed into an Amendment and this slot 5 can't be used for Amendments.

I don't see how this is funny. Duke introduced this bill shortly after the passing of his pet, who suffered from cancer. I also had a dog back when I was little who died of heart cancer.

I was not aware of that, obviously... I merely found it interesting that he was allocating funds to fight animal cancer, when some of that money would likely be used to fund animal testing. But I suppose those would be mostly mice, and a large majority of animal lovers generally only care about cats and dogs.

Yes, and our fuzzy friends, bgwah. I just lost my dog to cancer. It is a silent killer of both humans and animals, and the sooner we find a cure, the better. I think the cure will eventually be found in halls of our universities, and I want to give them the funds to continue their research. No one deserves to be given the news that their family, whether it be human or pet, has a disease with no cure.

I had every intention of voting for this. And was going to that is untill I saw the words "$50 billion". I have also lost a pet to cancer, but $50 billion in unfunded expenditures is too much.


Sorry, Duke. Sad

Sorry, I'm going to switch from "aye" to "nay".  I thought it said $50 million, not $50 billion.  Finding a cure for cancer should definately be a priority, but NC Yankee is right.  $50 billion dollars is pretty extreame.

Sorry Duke.

This could have been avoided if more people had actually read the bill and offered a compromise. Wink

Well we have had both extremes on this now. We had premature votes by senators elect and late votes by retired Senators. Tongue

Clearly the solution is to privatize presidential elections.

So, in less than four years, get excited for the 2016 MetLife Financial U Pick The Prez Extravaganza. If you tweet a picture of your completed ballot with the hashtag #ivoted, you could win a trip for two to the inauguration or an iTunes gift card.

Uh, wow, I second fuzzleton's post - admittedly skimming the bill, I too thought it was $50 million.

Switching my vote from Aye to Nay, sorry. My fault.

I should have questioned how we would come up with $50Billion but somehow I didn't expect people to care anything about cost.
