Applaud the Coburn Amendment Yeas

For those that missed it, the Coburn Amendment was a bill last week introduced by Senator Coburn to undo one particular huge pork project, the Bridge to Nowhere, so that the money could be used in Katrina relief instead. It failed 82-15.

Here are the brave (in some cases, at least) 15 who voted against powerful Senator Ted Steven's pork project.

Ask why you didn't see more Republican names on this list.
