Abstain. Some good stuff, but I don't like Section 3 and I think we need to be a little tighter on the purse.

With five ayes and an abstention, the bill has enough votes to pass. Senators have 24 hours to vote or change their votes.

Well, given that my vote doesn't count for a whole lot on this one anyway, I'm going to give a symbolic "nay" purely to voice a protest against this two- or three-billion dollar spending increase at a time when extra funding is not exactly easy to come by.

If you want to tell me that this proves that I hate the troops, go right ahead. Tongue

Actually, I agree with you, though I did want to repeal the Solomon Amendment.
