I first saw this posting today on Mrs. Chili's non-education blog, The Blue Door. It appears to have originated on the Occupy Democrats Facebook page.

We seem to be engulfed in repeated acts of senseless violence in our country. There's nothing I can do about the horror in Boston yesterday, and I think many feel the impotent rage I feel at events such as the bombing at the Boston Marathon and the slaughter of innocent children in Newtown. But I can repost this image and the names of the cowardly, bought and paid for senators who opposed universal background checks for gun buyers today.

Shameless Senators

Alexander (R-TN) Enzi (R-WY) Murkowski (R-AK)
Ayotte (R-NH) Fischer (R-NE) Paul (R-KY)
Barrasso (R-WY) Flake (R-AZ) Portman (R-OH)
Baucus (D-MT) Graham (R-SC) Pryor (D-AR)
Begich (D-AK) Grassley (R-IA) Reid (D-NV) - changed vote from yes to no for procedural reasons only so he can file motion to reconsider
Blunt (R-MO) Hatch (R-UT)
Boozman (R-AR) Heitkamp (D-ND)
Burr (R-NC) Heller (R-NV) Risch (R-ID)
Chambliss (R-GA) Hoeven (R-ND) Roberts (R-KS)
Coats (R-IN) Inhofe (R-OK) Rubio (R-FL)
Coburn (R-OK) Isakson (R-GA) Scott (R-SC)
Cochran (R-MS) Johanns (R-NE) Sessions (R-AL)
Corker (R-TN) Johnson (R-WI) Shelby (R-AL)
Cornyn (R-TX) Lee (R-UT) Thune (R-SD)
Crapo (R-ID) McConnell (R-KY) Vitter (R-LA)
Cruz (R-TX) Moran (R-KS) Wicker (R-MS)

I wrote our Senator Coats about this issue some months ago. He declined to even respond.

Shameless.
