Both of mine voted "Yea".

One was on the radio this morning and stated that he voted yes even though his office received calls not favoring the bailout at a 20 to 1 ratio.  He even said he realized it might cost him an election....well, he got something right.

Sen Pam Roach (My district senator ) did not vote.  I sent her an email last night and CC'd the State Reps:
Quote
Mrs. Roach,
I did not see your vote on the Senate Floor last evening. I was wondering why I did not see your vote.

I personally will not vote for any politician that has voted YES for this ill-advised Bail out plan.

Regards,


The WA state senators that were present, one voted yes and one voted no.

Both of mine voted "Yea". They got a nice note this morning. My Representative voted no last time. I asked him to vote no again.

DO NOT give up yet. Keep hammering on these people. Just because it passed the Senate does NOT mean it will pass the House. Most often, they argue over what is in the crap they pass. Get after your Representatives and get them to vote NO. If it does not pass in the House, the Senate will get another chance, and you will get another chance at your Senators.

I can't believe Stabenow voted no...

On the other hand I'm not surprised Levin voted yes.

It's been said before and I'll say it again, if you want to know what a liberal dem executive office and a dem controlled house and senate will do to an economy, look no further than Michigan.  And the idiots here just keep sending them back to Lansing...

Be sure you don't just look at the economy through republican rosy-red glasses.  Lots of industry in all the red states have tanked as well.

But keep trying to fool youself with who to blame; truth is you'll find people from both sides of the aisle over the past 20 years to heap this crap on.

Backing a destructive union and raising corporate taxes always stimulates an economy... :rolleyes:

We know it started with the Democrats and Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac in 2004. When a political group invests in a company (and makes it appear to be for "the poor" they tend to protect their financial interests. :devil

Thanks for playing....you FAIL!

I'm not going to send mine a note because I vote against them every election anyways.  But the people here just keep sending them back to Washington...

I don't blame my dad's generation for being brainwashed; it was inevitable.  You should read some of the garbage that they feed them in the union papers.  The funny thing is, if you took most of the people in the UAW and got them to state their core beliefs and values, they would probably most align with repubs or libertarians, but they are told to tow the party line and they do every time.  Everything has been laid out for them in simple black and white:  It's always the workers against the company, and the union tells them that the dems are their only slim chance and that the repubs are their sure demise.

This is how the dem party works:  Paint a helpless picture of doom and gloom, tell the people that "they" are their only chance, then throw some cool shiney stuff at them for free. - Kinda like this current bill...
