The Mike Pence amendment that passed the House overwhelmingly this afternoon by a strong bipartisan vote of 309-115 was supported by three 10 of North Carolina’s 13 members of Congress. Who didn’t support it and who, by inference, want the so-called Fairness Doctrine to be reinstated?:
4th District’s David Price (D)
12th District’sMelvin Watt (D)
1st District’s G.K. Butterfield (D)
The other 10 N.C. members, six Republicans and four Democrats, who, by inference, think the free flow of ideas without government interference is a good thing, are:
2nd District’s Bob Etheridge (D)
3rd District’s Walter Jones (R)
5th District’s Virginia Foxx (R)
6th District’s Howard Coble (R)
7th District’s Mike McIntyre (D)
8th District’s Robin Hayes (R)
9th District’s Sue Myrick (R)
10th District’s Patrick McHenry (R)
11th District’s Heath Shuler (D)
13th District’s Brad Miller (D)
UPDATE: D’oh. That’s what I get for posting so late at night. I wrote that three of our 13 members supported the amendment, but it was 10, as you can see by my name-by-name tally.
