Defeat of Spending Bill: Victory for America's Most Vulnerable

CLICK TO READ: House Democrats Defeat Spending Bill - Yahoo! News

Slowly, but surely, our voices -- the voices of reason and fairness -- are being heard and listened to by our representatives (at least SOME of them).

Or we could just chalk up today's defeat of a lopsided spending bill that would have benefited the wealthy at everyone else's expense, to the President's tanking popularity and, as Barney Frank noted, the absense of "The Hammer" and his notorious ability to gather votes.

Whatever. It's defeated. And that's a start.
