of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2010--I would have voted yes.

softball team for winning the 2009 Women's College World Series--I 
would have voted yes.

Report on H.R. 3183--Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 2010--I would have voted yes.

Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010--I 
would have voted yes.
