On 6/21/07, 42 Democrats voted No on the McGovern Amendment which would have cut off funding to the torture school formerly known as the School of Americas (Assassins), now known as Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC). 6 more votes were needed to pass it. All Reds and Greens would certainly have voted Yes and that is what makes Reds and Greens viable.

The vote was 203 Yes, 214 No, 1 voting "Present" and 19 Not Voting.

For more on the torture and murder training camp courtesy our tax dollars in Fort Benning, Georgia to train torturers and murderers of workers and peasants in Latin America who try to organize for a better life, see the School of Assassins Watch website at:
