How Did Your Congress Rep Vote This Time on the Bailout?

The House voted Monday and didn't pass the bailout, but today was another day. Most Los Angeles area representatives didn't change their vote from Monday, but four democrats went from a no vote to a yes vote, ultimately helping the bailout plan pass today and sending the bill over to President Bush to sign it into law. Those who had a change of heart were Adam Schiff from Pasadena/SGV, Hilda Solis of El Monte/East LA, Diane Watson of Los Angeles, and Joe Baca of San Bernardino all switched from No to Yes today. And the rest of the list, thanks to ABC7, who has complete info on the reps:
- David Dreier (R) Yes, unchanged from Monday
- Brad Sherman (D) No, unchanged from Monday
- Howard Berman (D) Yes, unchanged from Monday
- Adam Schiff (D) Yes, changed from No vote Monday

I would like to think that this bill will really help our economy, but I don't think it will. I wonder if the Yes votes are thinking the same thing. This 7 billion dollar emergency cash crunch must weigh heavily on their minds right now.

Once again Xavier Becerra has earned my vote for this upcoming election, regardless of the fact that he is running unopposed.

My rep Howard Berman voted yes both times...

Remarkable!
The "Free Market Economy" president just created socialized business with his "hands off business" approach.
This has to be the ultimate irony.

Hey Zach, double check Drier's...I think he flip flopped, I think he actually voted no the first one and then the hand of Vader got to him...
Not dissing your facts, more like showing that Drier is a sleazebag...

Howard Berman is a DINO, he might as well change parties.
Amazing in this country we have socilaized Capitalisim, but we can't have socilaized healthcare.

Here is the kicker on that one...all of these senators (read: McCain) has had the FINEST (and I really mean that) medical care courtesy of who? the US Government mainly the US Navy (Bethesda) not only the medical care in the Navy, but post-POW, and his entire time in DC for certain, he has always had socialized health care and he does not even recognize that.
