One of the few issues to cross party lines. Too bad on the outcome; we almost won.
Remember These Names... On Both Sides
AOPA notes 11 members of the Commerce Committee deserve special recognition from pilots for their tremendous work in supporting the fight against user fees. First of all, Sens. Bill Nelson (D-FL) and John Sununu (R-NH) stepped forward to sponsor the amendment. Sens. Byron Dorgan (D-ND), Mark Pryor (D-AR), Tom Carper (D-DE), Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), Olympia J. Snowe (R-ME), Gordon Smith (R-OR), John Ensign (R-NV), Jim DeMint (R-SC), and David Vitter (R-LA) all supported the amendment.
On the other side, there were 12 senators who supported user fees: Sens. John D. Rockefeller (D-WV), Trent Lott (R-MS), Ted Stevens (R-AK), Daniel K. Inouye (D-HI), John F. Kerry (D-MA), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ), Claire C. McCaskill (D-MO), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), John McCain (R-AZ), and John Thune (R-SD)
