Deutch Votes for Amash Amendment

West Boca News is not always a fan of our Congressman, Ted Deutch. But we are pleased to report that he voted for an amendment yesterday which would have cut funding for the NSA spying on all of us. The Amash-Conyers roll-call vote shows a rather different divide. The yes and no sides were both bipartisan.
National establishment figures like John Boehner (R), Nancy Pelosi (D), Steny Hoyer (D) and Eric Cantor (R), along with local insiders like Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D), Lois Frankel (D), and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R) voted against it (for spying on us). Those voting for the amendment (against spying on us) included many GOP rebels such as Amash and Walter Jones, along with progressive Democrats like Keith Ellison and Raul Grijalva, co-chairs of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
