GOP sked'ing another vote on their unpoplar Reconciliation bill that

178 signatures on the petition to force a vote on extending middle class tax cuts. 218 needed. Keep track: http://1.usa.gov/QK3G6s #my2k
Disappointed in Senate GOP for blocking ratification of #UNCRPD treaty. Rights for persons w/ disabilities should be a bipartisan value.
Tmrw Dems will petition to force vote on tax cuts for middle class, who shouldn't have to suffer b/c of a GOP-manufactured stalemate.
New poll shows a majority of Americans support Pres. Obama's plan to let tax cuts expire on income > $250k: http://wapo.st/UsAOAa
