Alabama's Congressional delegation opposed a bill to extend a payroll tax cut and jobless benefits for millions of Americans.

Both Alabama Senators Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions were among the 36 who voted against the plan pushed by President Obama.

Six of Alabama's seven Representatives in the House opposed the plan.

Only Congresswoman Terri Sewell supported the plan.

The President is expected to sign the bill on his return from a West Coast fundraising swing.
