Momentum Swings Against Frist and 'Trifecta' Bill
by Adam Hughes*, 8/3/2006
Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) - a key swing vote on the upcoming "trifecta" bill - has publicly announced she will vote against the bill. Cantwell's bold decision to stand up for working-class families in Washington and around the country who would get a bad break with this legislation is a significant blow to Sen. Frist's (T-RN) attempts to pass this crass and manipulative bill.
Sen. Cantwell should be praised for her brave leadership in speaking out against this effort. Kudos to her!
