mine did too. i'm stunned; i was sure he'd had his spine removed back when he was a state rep.

 

[HoleInTheVoid]

Udall (CO) is taking a beating as a liberal around here. He's playing safe.

Trancredo is a disappointment.

I have been searching for the roll call and I came up with this same link at a few news websites, but I can't get the actual site to load because the server was so busy.

Did you notice the description seems to be the incorrect bill???

Looks like it's getting quite a bit of traffic now, I couldn't get on and check.

 

[Ravi]

Mine voted yes. Is it the correct bill?

 

[Valerie]

Mine voted yes. Is it the correct bill?

Seems like they linked one Bill to the other?

This is what I found:

Mine split - Rick Larsen is dead meat and Jay Inslee will get my vote when he is up for re-election.

Thanks so much for the link!

Maybe not? But I am sure they will get one up very quickly if this isn't it.

Great, more deliberate confusion. Whoever voted against this Bill also voted against providing tax relief and protections for military personnel???

 

[Jon]

All four reps from Arkansas voted yes, so I sent all four letters telling them they're fucking stupid.

 

[Kevin_Kennedy]

Ralph Regula voted for the bailout, and he's retiring so he doesn't need my vote. Phone calls, e-mails and what not do not work on this man. What a punk.

 

[AllieBaba]

Ok, well, I'm confused. I sent an e-mail to my rep who voted for it, telling him to refrain from voting for one in the future.

 

[WestCoastTruth]

I am pleasantly suprised. My Rep voted NO.

I recently moved back to Eastern Washington after being away for over 20 years. After nearly that long in Western Washington, I had almost forgotten that this side of the state is far less liberal than Seattle and the rest of Western Washington.

Finally, I don't feel like an ugly duckling among swans anymore!
