The American Spark
House Roll Call On Bailout, State By State
By Cliff Montgomery - Oct. 3rd, 2008
Today The American Spark offers a simple, but very important piece of information for its readers. Below we
provide the names of every member of the U.S. House of Representatives--state by state--and tell you how
each voted today on the massive Wall Street bailout bill, which was approved by 172 Democrats and 91
Republicans; 63 Democrats and 108 Republicans voted against it.
After the vote, the bill hastily was sent to George W. Bush, who just as hastily signed it.
Tax breaks appeared to sweeten the most recent version of the bill for several lawmakers, especially for
Republicans. A majority of Democrats approved both this version and the failed Sept. 29th version of the
bailout legislation.
"The largest group of beneficiaries in the tax portion of the financial [bailout] bill is about 20 million mainly
upper-middle income taxpayers," notes an Associated Press article.
Below we provide the vote of each U.S. representative, state by state. We then tell you their district, name, and
party affiliation.
Much thanks to GovTrack for providing this easy-to-read tally.
