Ferrari Mailing List: OT: Voting records?

[Tom Reynolds (kjtar]

If anyone could provide a good link for current voting records, I'd
appreciate it.  I thought of Roll Call, but in going to their site I got the
impression that you'd need to subscribe in order to get access.  But, I did
find out that in the latest Senate vote on Ethics, the only 2 senators not
voting in favor were one of my Oklahoma guys as well as Orin Hatch of UT.
Had to search quite a bit to find that one...
Best regards,
Tom Reynolds
Tulsa, OK
