Jesse Helms Spirit Lives in the Vitter, Sessions, DeMint Blocking of AIDS BILL
Despite a majority of the House, a majority of the Senate, both Presidential Candidates and George W. supporting the AIDS Bill, three bozo Senators are still blocking this legislation.
The Bill has a unanimous consent provision and therefore Viitter, Sessions and DeMint are blocking this bill from cominig up for a vote.
Perhaps these three are honoring Jesse Helms who even came around some on funding for AIDS. To be fair, Sessions did support more funding for rural areas. But this is clearly not right. Click here to read a very thorough editorial on what this bill would accomplish
This would authorize over $50 billion in funding for AIDS over the next five years to stop AIDS, TB and Malaria. These are the three most deadly viruses in the world. Most importantly this bill would encourage other countries to help in the fight against AIDS.
Unforunately, Jeff Sessions is the only one of those three running for re-election. We have a much more progressive candidate running against him in Vivian Davis Figures. While it is an uphill battle, any amount you can donate to Figures would help raise the awareness how attrocious Jeff Sessions really can be. Our theory is that Sessions is opposed to funding in this country for illegal immigrants with AIDS/HIV being the staunch proponent of immigration reform.
Anyways , click here to Donate to Vivian Figures and help let Jeff Sessions, David Vitter and Jim DeMint know their actions will not be tolerated.

Seriously. How the hell can Vitter - Mr Hooker - not be even the slightest bit worried about AIDS?
That'd be like being a Senator from Louisiana & not being worried about the state of the levees.
