http://votesmart.org/issue_keyvote_recent.phpRecent Key Votes: The Project provides non-partisan, factual and easily accessible voting records on both Congressional and State legislators. The Project selects floor votes that are helpful in portraying how a member of Congress stands on a particular issue. Key Votes are clear to understand and not simply procedural. To be included in the Key Votes Program these have had national media attention and are usually pass or defeated by a very close margin.enhttp://www.votesmart.org/img/HelpAd7.gifhttp://www.votesmart.org/program_donations_index.phphttp://www.votesmart.org/issue_keyvote_detail.php?cs_id=28603Project Vote Smart staff and volunteers are working hard to produce a clear and accurate summary of the contents of the bill.
