I'm saddened, but not surprised that not one single Republican senator contributed to this.

Okay, I'm moving to all of these states just so I can vote for each one of these guys. I don't give a damn if they're doing this for votes or not. Anyone who will reach out to scared people who feel like they are alone has my vote.

And where is a Republican jobs bill? They seem to be focused more on abortion.

All the Senators on this who were up for re-election in 2012 won. Let's make sure the same happens again in 2014, so we can thank these Senators for their support.

[Dano Pierce]

I want to thank these politicians for their words and support.

[Karen Scott]

Maybe they weren't asked....

Whether itd be the American jobs act, the buffet rule, etc. Im proud of those Democratic Senators for speaking out for those LGBT people, something that Republicans in Congress today would never ever do in my lifetime! It just makes me even more proud to be a progressive democrat. Iam a strong believer in LGBT rights including gay marriage. Republicans are in the wrong side on this issue. So guys these democratic senators are taking a stand on what is truly.

To midna007 and all the other people down there, let me just say to all of you that what those, and all other democratic senators, have what the Republicans would never have are hearts. They actually feel for those gay people who are committing suicide. What all of you think that they arent important? And for the record the economy has been improving despite the fact that house and senate Republicans have been obstructing the crap out of everything the senate Democrats has been trying to pass.
