CODEPINK was at Representative Berman’s office to protest the vote on November 3 (Photos).  36 Representatives voted against the Berman amendment, and 27 voted “present,” which can be read as a vote of no-confidence.

The roll call is here: http://www.opencongress.org/vote/2009/h/838. Ask your Congressperson why.
