It will be critical to see who changes his vote from No to Aye. This is a great litmus test of integrity. From the LA Times: " Rep. Steve King, an Iowa Republican, said the new version of the bill contains a biodiesel tax credit he has championed, but he still plans to vote against the measure again. However, other lawmakers may be swayed, he said. "I think that they probably put enough sweeteners in it that they will be able to get the votes," he said in an interview. Rep. Lloyd Doggett, a Texas Democrat, was similarly unconvinced. "The Senate measure has changed my position from 'No' to 'Heck, no,' " he said. "With the Senate amendment, the bailout has gone from bad to worse, $105 billion more in public debt worse." Some of the changes appeared aimed at enticing specific lawmakers to change their votes to "yes." For instance, the bill now includes a provision to boost insurance coverage of mental illness, a priority of Rep. Jim Ramstad, a Minnesota Republican, who voted against the bailout bill Monday. It also includes a tax benefit for bicycle commuting sought by Rep. Earl Blumenauer, an Oregon Democrat, also a "no" vote on Monday. And there's an extension of the solar tax credit, a priority of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, an Arizona Democrat, who has said that she wants to make her state the "Silicon Valley of solar energy." The tax breaks and accounting rule changes for Hollywood were seen as aimed at two Southern California Democrats - Reps. Adam Schiff and Brad Sherman - who voted against the plan. Sherman, who led the defection of a group of Democratic skeptics, insisted he would not be enticed to vote for the rescue plan.

Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 Final Vote Results for Roll Call 681 on Oct 3, 2008 http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2008/roll681.xml The most important character test most of these folks have had in their lifetime...and how did they do? Fifty-nine "Representatives" changed their vote from Nay to Yea and sold their soul for fucking PORK. These Representatives are the lowest scumbags on the face of the earth -- even lower than the original members of The Wall of Shame. The 59 Pork Lovers -- changed their vote from Nay to Yea solely because they were influenced by Pork.

This is the wrong tally. This was for LAST week. More people voted FOR it this week, so THAT is the list we need now.
Wake up GT. The tally is linked in my message directly above yours. I list the 59 new Yeas -- Traitors.
Only one Representative was outraged enough by the Pork to change his vote from Yea to Nay, in opposition to the bill. Rep. Jim McDermott from Washington state. Well done congressman.
