The bill has been in legislative limbo since Thursday, when Senate Democrats failed to win a procedural vote to open debate on it.

Too bad we do not have the 60 we need to keep the minority from obstructing this bill. It is the Republicans that think taxes for the Rich are more important than helping hero's. Just ask Senator Mcain and his "silly stuff" comment.
The republicans have gotten all the press they need out of 9-11, so they will throw the first responders under the bus. What a puke trough the GOP has become.
Come on, Mr McConnell & fellow GOPers, can you put aside your hyper-partisanship for a few minutes and just vote for the bill that benefits the 9/11 responders? If you can't, then you're simply NOT capable of human compassion.
Boomberg is right. It is simply beyond comprehension how Senate Republicans failed to support our 9/11 responders for the sake of childish politics. Americans dedicating their lives for others surely deserve better.
Pass the 9/11 Responders Bill now!
Blame it on the GOP. They said nothing will get done until they've got their tax cuts for the wealthy. Thoe scumbags are holding everything hostage.
Republicans ; come on now a lot of these people (911 helpers) have already died.
