Emerson, Graves, Akin & Luetkemeyer Vote Against 9/11 Workers

From ABC News: "The House has just passed final congressional approval of the James Zadroga 9/11 Health & Compensation Act, which provides medical care for persons exposed to harmful toxins from the 9/11 terrorist attacks. First responders, cleanup workers and those living within the terrorist attack areas are eligible for care. The bill passed easily 268 to 160. Seventeen Republicans supported the measure, while three Democrats voted against the bill. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi spoke out on the House floor in favor of the bill, saying it will help those who jeopardize their health to rescue others, secure necessary medical treatment especially for the unique exposures suffered at Ground Zero, and ensures survivors and victims’ families can attain compensation for their losses."

Because why not, GOP Reps. Jo Ann Emerson, Sam Graves, Blaine Luetkemeyer and Todd Akin voted against the bill.   Roy Blunt was absent.
