How did your Senators and Representatives vote?

Find out below and if they voted YEA, vote them out by voting for their opposition, no matter what the opposition's party affiliation or stance on this matter. Even if their opponent might have voted YEA too, the fact is, they weren't in office and didn't vote contrary to their constituents as the YEA voters on this list did - i.e. failed to represent the people they are supposed to work for. Go even further and help out the opposition to the traitor by volunteering some time or offering to put a sign in your yard or maybe just donating some money.

If your Senator or Representative voted NO, as I said above, volunteer some time to help with their campaign. Offer to put a sign in your yard for them or donate a little money you might be able to spare. Let them know you appreciate having been represented in Washington.

H.R. 1424: Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008

A bill to provide authority for the Federal Government to purchase and insure certain types of troubled assets for the purposes of providing stability to and preventing disruption in the economy and financial system and protecting taxpayers, to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide incentives for energy production and conservation, to extend certain expiring provisions, to provide individual income tax relief, and for other purposes.

This is the Senate's October 2008 Economic Stimulus Relief Bill. This bill was originally introduced in March 2007 and passed the House as the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008. In October 2008, it was co-opted as the so-called "vehicle" to pass the relief bill with an amendment that rewrites the whole bill. The House's initial vehicle was H.R. 3997, but they failed to pass their amendment co-opting the bill.
