Now I'm very confused.  The bill enforces "net neutrality" and it passed 
by a 321-101 vote:

But this vote, the one we were looking at yesterday, shows the vote was 
269 to 152 against:

But that was just on an amendment.  I guess there were several votes that 
day.  Here is the vote on the bill:

http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2006/roll241.xml

Democrats and Republicans voted in the same direction on the bill, but 
Democrats were much more divided.  So this wasn't as partisan and divisive 
as we were thinking it was.

Also, getting back to the original posting:  Hulshof voted in favor of the 
bill, not against it.  He only voted against the Markey amendment.
