Senate Democrats voted on whether Joe Lieberman should retain the chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee, a panel he largely created by drafting legislation for the Department of Homeland Security after the 9/11 attacks. They conducted that vote by secret ballot rather than publicly state their positions.
I find this a little ironic since they support the Employee Free Choice Act (H.R. 800, S. 1041) which is legislation in the United States that aims to “amend the National Labor Relations Act.

This is a nonpartisan very informative film and I felt it was well worth the 30 minutes of time to watch it. If you are at all in doubt about how serious this economic crisis actually is this is a must see.
The film is produced by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation:
Founded by the senior chairman of The Blackstone Group with a personal commitment of at least $1 billion, the Foundation is dedicated to increasing public awareness of the nature and urgency of key fiscal challenges threatening America’s future, and to accelerating action on them. To address these challenges successfully, we work to bring Americans together to find sensible, long-term solutions that transcend age, party lines and ideological divides in order to achieve real results.
