Rep. Barbara Lee votes no.

CONGRESS | BUDGET | Rep. Barbara Lee had tough words for the bipartisan budget bill passed Thursday by the House, which leaves over 1.3 million Americans without unemployment checks early next year, while fellow Alameda County Rep. Eric Swalwell boasted over its the conciliatory nature.
“We are talking about 1.3 million people who will lose unemployment benefits during this holiday season,” said Lee. “It is cruel. It is morally wrong, and it is economically stupid.” She added, “The least we can do for the millions of long-term unemployed who are struggling just to get by during this holiday season is to pass this three-month extension.”
The budget deal hammered out by Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) reinstates some funding cut made due to this year’s sequester, extends Medicare payments, but does not include any new taxes.
In a letter in support, Swalwell, along with 12 members of a bipartisan freshman caucus, said the budget deal is an example how working across the aisle can move the country forward.
“No agreement is perfect and there are aspects of the Ryan/Murray budget with which all of us disagree. But, that is what legislating in Congress is all about – cooperating to achieve an agreement which on balance would improve the lives of the American people.”
South Bay Rep. Mike Honda also voted for the bipartisan budget. His opponent for the 17th Congressional District, Ro Khanna, also registered support for the budget plan, while signaling out the passing over of unemployment insurance. “No Member of Congress will embrace every aspect of the compromise budget passed this afternoon–and I am personally concerned that unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless were not extended.”

So now the Swalwell troll is both sexist and racist. That says it all and then some. You have used that same post on many different articles. It's a Tea Party mantra almost, and shows how extreme you are. With sexists and racists like you backing Swalwell—Ellen Corbett will win for sure. Ellen has authored hundreds of bills that have benefitted the average working man and woman that have become law. Eric has authored ZERO bills that have become law that benefitted the average working man or woman.
Try and stay on topic of Swalwell sticking it to 1.3 million americans by cutting off their unemployment benefits during the Holiday season and then dressing up as Santa. What a joke! I notice when you are losing an argument you always try and change the topic.

Anon above is definitely a Swalwell staffer. Come Jan 1st of next year that staffer will be out of work and looking for unemployment benefits. Our new Congresswoman will be Ellen Corbett, and most of us can't wait for the progressive change.
p.s. Try and stay on topic of Swalwell sticking it to 1.3 million Americans by cutting off their unemployment benefits during the Holiday season and then bragging about it. In contrast Barbara Lee did the right thing and voted against the cut.

Yet still, as the new year begins, the foes of workers and the middle class are committed to stealing our pensions, outsourcing public services, dismantling workers' rights, and giving tax breaks to corporations and the super rich.
They just left 1.3 million Americans out in the cold right after Christmas by cancelling unemployment benefits because they said our country can't afford it. We can't afford not to support these struggling job seekers — morally or economically. This will push many into poverty and homelessness, costing our economy a lot more in the long term. That's why we're pressing Congress to do the right thing now and renew federal unemployment insurance.
Unions brought us the weekend and the 40-hour work week. Unions created the middle class. And unions are essential for protecting it — and saving America from those who are all too happy to sacrifice democracy for the sake of profit. There is a direct relationship between labor union density and income inequality. In short, when unions are strong, everyone benefits.

Our congressman is a TRUE mainstream Democrat who best represents OUR interests. He will be back in a landslide for sure.
In the meantime, being a sport, I'll help you pack your bags and move you to Berkeley where you belong. That is your reservation of sorts.
Getting ready to kick you to the curb. Don't have the patience or interest to take prisoners.

Thank you Steven Tavares for the articles pointing out Mr Swalwell's incompetence, mistakes and heartlessness. This flip flopping neophyte is an embarrassment to our congressional district. I didn't like Stark and voted for Swalwell and now apologies are in order. Ellen Corbett has my vote in 2014 and I am a declined to state voter.

2:22 knows that Mr Santos said that before Swalwell voted to cut off benefits to 1.3 million Americans and then praised himself for it. Anon 2:14 is Mr. Santos' statement after. I suspect the 2:22 post was from a staffer or supporter of Swalwell.

Eric voted against extending unemployment compensation could very well be his undoing-I am sure ellen will hit on this and make it a big issue-what the heck was his reasoning? By the way, chronicle reporting is reason why I wrote my op-ed on Stark. Marunicci told me she never knew Pete did the things I noted in my piece. Last week I did not think Ellen had a chance to beat Swalwell, but now, she has a great opportunity to defeat him-I now assume labor will be in Ellen's camp-Tony Santos

I agree Ellen Corbett in 2014. She is a much better politician an has done more for Seniors, children,women, the environment, consumers, working families, teachers, nurses, and on and on.. Swalwell has accomplished next to nothing on the Dublin city council or since he's been in Congress.

If you lived in the Valley and your kid had asthma you would care. By the way, just because you don't care about the fact our former councilman and present congressman hasn't accomplished anything for us except destroy our health and create traffic congestion doesn't mean the rest of us don't care. This is why Swalwell will be defeated by Ellen Corbett in 2014.

To the above, get over it. Who the F—– cares? Answer: ONLY YOU.
The man has been an excellent congressman, pays attention to his district, helps his constituents, and gets things done. If Obama doesn't sign still more legislation, big deal!
We love our representative and will be sending him back to Washington. Move on or move away.

The only thing Eric did on the City Council was kiss the developers ass. This led to overcrowding in the Valley and a higher asthma rate for our children because of more congestion and pollution on our roads.
In Congress name even one piece of legislation that he has authored(not signed on to someone else's legislation) that has become law. You can't because he has none. You sure can lie about it though.

Eric did everything on the Dublin City Council and helped scores of families who needed assistance with housing and other matters. He is the author of scores of legislation which would make life in America better for all.

Eric did nothing on the Dublin City Council but sell out to the developers. So far in Congress he has done even less. He has not authored one piece of legislation that has become law.

1.3 million middle class Americans who lost their jobs through no fault of their own, get their unemployment benefits cut off during the Christmas season, and Eric is bragging about it—horrible. What a heartless person Swallwell is. I'll be voting for Ellen Corbett because she seems to care about the loss of American jobs and the loss of the middle class in America.

Mr Swalwell, how can taking away unemployment benefits during the holiday season move our country forward? What an a__hole Swalwell is! Never thought I'd say it, but vote for Ellen Corbett in 2014. Maybe when Swalwell is unemployed he might have a better understanding that screwing 1.3 million americans is wrong.

If you look at his FEC filing's, Swalwell's clearly done polling. If it showed him way up on Ellen, he would have pulled a Honda and released it to show how well he was doing. But he didn't, probably because the poll showed her ahead or within striking distance.
No poll = No lead for Eric. That's why he's panicking and lapping up the developer and PAC money.
