Ayotte Sides with Hillary, Dems and UN

In a shocking turn of events, our Republican NH Senator Kelly Ayotte is reportedly slated to side with Hillary Clinton, the Democrats and the UNITED NATIONS when she votes for approval of the Law of the Sea Treaty, along with the other usual Republican suspects.

Ayotte was not endorsed by the tea party, except for the fact that Sarah Palin, who calls herself “tea party” gave her an unsolicited stamp of approval. That unwelcome endorsement likely pushed her number of votes ahead ever so slightly, just enough to beat Ovide Lamontagne. Palin also wrote an opinion in support of the treaty.

The 18 Republicans who are apparently set to uphold the treaty are Enzi, Hutchison, Johanns, Ayotte, Graham, McCain, Lugar, Kirk, Snowe, Collins, Murkowski, Isakson, Grassley, Portman, Corker, Cochran, Brown, and Alexander.

It is interesting to note that Ayotte and Portman are both rumored to be considered for Romney’s VP (should he become the nominee). Portman also has a checkered history with social justice/environmental schemes such as sustainability programs like the Global Conservation Act of 2012 which he introduced, all at the behest of the United Nations, a NON-governmental, socialist group that operates outside of the American Constitutional Republic. Portman often works with NHs liberal Democrat Senator Jeanne Shaheen.

Contact Kelly Ayotte and let her know you disapprove!

Ayotte Votes Against Coal

UPDATE: On June 20th the U.S. Senate has voted down Senator James Inhofe’s S.J. Res. 37, a resolution that would have prevented the Environmental Protection Agency from implementing “Utility MACT” the most economically devastating regulation in its 42-year history. Now left unchecked, Utility MACT is already causing coal plants around the country to consider closing their doors, and will prevent new plants from being built. This reduction in energy production will cause an increase in energy costs for all Americans, particularly in states that derive much of their energy from coal. Reduced demand for coal will also cause great harm to America’s many coal-mining communities, increasing unemployment and preventing the creation of future jobs in the coal industry.

The vote was close, but the resolution failed, 46-53. Five Democrats from coal-rich states voted with the Republicans in support of the resolution, but unfortunately five Republicans provided the fatal votes against it. (See FW)
