Roll call of fraud(s)

Here again -- and this time with links to their phone numbers and e-mail addresses -- are the members of the Maryland Senate who voted (sold out?) against a measure to root out Medicaid fraud and increase the penalties for lying about health claims. These people, as far as we can be concerned, favor fraud:

John Astle (D)
David Brinkley (R)
Richard Colburn (R)
James E DeGrange Sr. (D)
George Edwards (R)
Nathaniel Exum (D)
Barry Glassman (R)
Janet Greenip (R)
Larry Haines (R)
Andy Harris (R)
Nancy Jacobs (R)
Ed Kasemeyer (D)
Allan Kittleman (R)
Rona Kramer (D)
Nathaniel McFadden (D)
Alex Mooney (R)
Don Munson (R)
C. Anthony Muse (D)
Douglas J.J. Peters (D)
E.J. Pipkin (R)
Catherine Pugh (D)
Bryan Simonaire (R)
J. Lowell Stoltzfus (R)
Bobby A. Zirkin (D)

Here's today's editorial on the subject

Gee, I wonder why Dr. Andy Harris voted against the bill? I guess he's not going to run against Frank Kratovil again in 2010.

Dan, why don't you ASK some of them why they voted against the bill? The list consists of Republicans and Democrats that usually don't vote the same on ANYTHING, so maybe there is something else behind their votes besides "selling out".
