THE SENATE AT WORK
My representative is Marco Rubio.
He is in this list.
He visited Orlando in the aftermath of the tragedy so show solidarity.
Guess it didn’t last him that long to change.

The Senate just voted down 4 gun control proposals
Democrats and Republicans each offered their own versions of gun-control bills, and most were unwilling to cross the aisle.
Senate Democrats made good on a commitment they had little leverage until now to follow through on: a promise to take votes on gun control bills.
They still didn’t have the leverage, however, to pass them.
After the worst mass shooting in modern American history, a 15-hour Senate Democratic filibuster led by Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) shamed Republicans into scheduling votes for Monday, June 20, 2016.
But Monday night, the Senate failed to reach the 60-vote threshold for cloture on any of four separate measures: Republican and Democratic versions of a bill addressing background checks failed to reach the 60-vote threshhold for cloture; so did the Republican and Democratic versions of a bill restricting “suspected terrorists” from being able to buy guns.

Here’s Video Of House Democrats’ Anti-Gun Sit-In The Republicans Don’t Want You To See
Infuriated by the perpetual refusal of our Republican legislators to pass any kind of meaningful, common-sense gun reform, over seventy House Democrats are staging a sit-in in protest, led by civil rights icon John Lewis (D-GA).
Barely two weeks after a gunman murdered 49 people in an Orlando nightclub, Senate Republicans killed four gun reform bills – including one that would prevent people on terror watch lists from purchasing firearms, showing once again that the Republican Party is beholden to the National Rifle Association and have forsaken their oaths to the constituents they ostensibly represent.
