Senate Roll Call Votes On Yesterday's Bailout Bill


Here is the Roll Call Vote In The Senate Yesterday, in case you need to decide whether
or not you approve of how your Senators voted, and express your anger or appreciation
for their vote.
If you are from Iowa, you will see that our Senators failed us, and voted Yes for the largest
giveaway in history, to the gamblers on Wall Street who made out like the bandits they are,
left with oodles of money, and caused the crisis we now face. Thanks for nothing, but a
huge bill for us taxpayers, Senators Harkin and Grassley! I hope you are looking for other
occupations after your current terms are up!!
The 74-25 roll call by which the Senate approved a $700 billion rescue package for Wall Street
aimed at preventing a credit crisis.
On this vote, a "yes" vote was a vote to approve the package and a "no" vote was a vote against it.
Voting "yes" were 39 Democrats, 34 Republicans and 1 independent.
Voting "no" were 9 Democrats, 15 Republicans and 1 independent.

Friday will be a sad day for America, as Bush, and the leaders in the House and Senate, supersede
capitalism on a huge scale!! You still have time to contact your representative and kill this
bill, but time is short!! Good Luck To Us All!!
