Washington, DC—(ENEWSPF)—December 16, 2011. Yesterday Congressman Jesse L. Jackson, Jr. (D-IL-2) voted “For” the Omnibus Appropriations bill. The Bill passed with a vote of 296-to-121 with Democrats casting a majority of the votes to pass it. Congressman Jackson said: “Like most bills I’ve voted on in this session of Congress, this one is a very long way from what I would prefer. Nevertheless, on balance, I believe it would be irresponsible and neglectful of the needs of my constituents to vote against it.
