Yeas and Nays of the Senate Vote on sodomy "rights"

Here are the yeas and nays of the vote in the US Senate today, to invoke cloture, which means a vote to decide if they should vote on the Senate floor on the issue of whether to legalize sodomy, and give sodomites "benefits" of insurance and government benefits for spouses and free health insurance for military. This intended to give you voters "ammunition"* for power to remove from office those to cowardly to vote and declare their intentions, and also those who voted to "protect" sodomy as another ungodly "right". A yes vote means yes, bring it to the floor for a vote of full Senate and a no vote means table it [usually as a way of not dealing with a particular issue until the wicked think they can win at a later time]. If insurance companies are not fools they will pull out all stops to prevent that sodomite bill from gaining ground as insurance pay-outs are the real reason sodomites want legal status.
