Below is a list of those in Congress with the integrity to vote “No” on the bailout. I’m very disappointed with this bailout… especially all of the PORK attached to it. Come on Congress just be honest with the citizens of the United States… it’s not about the people but rather YOUR back pockets.
Sure something needs to be done with the economy… but is it really the governments job? Afterall, it is the government that got us here. We can look back to Jimmy Carter’s four years that got the ball rolling on this mortgage mess. It’s unfortunate that no one stood up and said “No” back then… or since then.
Is the President of the United States really expected to be the CEO of our nation? Is that the role of the Presidency? If so, then why don’t we drop this democratic – republic label we so proudly use and call ourselves a socialist nation!
Our forefathers never intended for Congress and the Senate to be a career. But that’s what it has become. How about term limits?! Afraid you can’t get a real job? I think we need to take another look at the “Contract with America”.
Below are the Patriots that voted – NO!
In the list below those Democrats in roman, Republicans in italic, independents underlined.
