This popped up in comments concerning the VoteVet ad below:
I really liked the ad and was planning on forwarding it to a few people but I wanted to learn more about Vote# 116, 108th Congress, 1st Session before I did. I looked it up here:
...and noticed that Allen voted "Yea" on it.
Umm...can you explain to me how he voted against it?
I followed the link, and what I believe we're seeing (and any of you legislative whizzes out there are welcome to tell me I'm wrong), is a vote to table an amendment "To appropriate $1, 047,000,000 for procurement for the National Guard and Reserves", it looks like Mary Landrieu of Louisiana made an amendment to add this funding, and the vote at the link was basically a party-line vote to kill the funding amedment for the Guard and Reserves, which must have included money for funding purchase of the vests.
Clear as mud? I think I have the correct interpretation, if I'm wrong, I know you'll let me know ;)

That's right. Allen voted "Yes, let's kill this amendment".
