Accountability Act of 2007 (Rep. Obey-Appropriations):

Complete debate on the bill.

Debate and vote on a Republican motion to recommit the bill. Democrats are expected to VOTE NO on the Republican Motion to Recommit regardless of its content. Vote on final passage of the bill. Democrats are urged to vote YES on final passage.
This is why I call them the Democrat Party instead of the Democratic Party...it sure ain't democracy that they are espousing...Interesting how the Democrats are implying threats these days...Apparently there is not a lot of room left for "conscience" in today's vote on the Supplemental.
