Senate Bill 2731 would authorize appropriations for fiscal years 2009 through 2013 to provide assistance to foreign countries to combat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. President Bush supports this bill. But seven Republican senators?the so-called ?Coburn Seven??are blocking it from going before the Senate for a vote. Now you may ask yourself, ?What kind of sanctimonious prick would do such a thing?? The answer: this guy, and six of his pals.¹

Whether or not you think it would do any good, please send D.V. and his pals a message. Tell them to stop fucking around² and to allow S. 2731 to go to the Senate for a vote. Sojo.net makes it easy for you.
