They were the brave ones. May they be protected from the wrath of the extremists (which seem to be about all but those 8) in the rest of the Senate who just gave us the longest federal shutdown in our 250 year history.
These are the Senate Democrats who voted to reopen the government
After reaching a bipartisan deal, Senate Democrats finally gave Republicans the votes needed to advance a government funding measure.www.cbsnews.com
Looks like there are brave Democrats who know it is time to open the government - here are their names.
Washington — Seven Democratic senators and one independent who caucuses with Democrats voted late Sunday to reopen the government and end the shutdown.Three of them have consistently voted for Republicans' short-term funding patch — which passed the House in mid-September — to keep the government funded until Nov. 21 at current levels. The measure narrowly advanced in the Senate after it secured the support of five more Democrats with the expectation that it will be amended to extend funding until Jan. 30.
