Featured Members of Congress
On March 10, 2009 Ben Nelson was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:
Centrist Democrat Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE) today told the Huffington Post that he opposes the Employee Free Choice Act. "I'm not in favor of the bill as it -- I haven't seen exactly what was put in, but if what was put in is the same as it's been described, I'm not in support of that," he said. Nelson voted "aye" last year on a motion to overcome a Republican filibuster of the bill.
