Default Have you contacted your Congress Rep to OPPOSE this bailout?

http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/

Some of the congressional websites are hung up with traffic. I suggest you try the website above to send a message.

I've sent one to my congresswoman, and one to the neighboring congressman, both of whom voted for the bailout.

To find out how your rep. voted, go here:

No need. My representative voted against. I guess Pelosi hurt her feelings.

Bull. You need to contact right NOW. They are formulating the newest and greatest bailout at this moment and you need to let her know that freaking capitalism is at stake here, and bad businesses need to be allowed to fail and not propped up with tax dollars.

I'll do it Mike. I'll also tell her to go punch Pelosi in the nose.

How accurate is this list?

I didn't even know my reps names, so I went and checked it out....Harman and Ackerman. Both Republicans.

Per the list you provided, they are allegedly Democrats that voted for the bailout.

Maybe you wrongfully yelled at your own representative.
