Capitol switchboard 202-224-3121
Find your Congressperson:
http://www.house.gov/house/ MemberWWW_by_State.shtml
Again, we asking you to come to the aid of your Country. Make a phone call. Send an email. Storm their door, jam their computers, shut down the Capitol phone system.
Do what it takes to say you did not sit idle. WE, THE PEOPLE, have the power.
Caution: After the vote, scrutinize your Representative's voting history. If, overall, he/she hasn't voted for you, be prepared for him/her to continue his betrayal of you on future votes should he get re-elected. It may be time for him to go anyway.

That seems much more likely... - Hetman, on 10/03/2008, -1/+51More dems voted for the bail out than republicans.
Democratic 172 - yea 63 - No
Republican 91 - Yea 108 - No
Not that it really matters both parties decided to vote against the American people. - Tynan, on 10/03/2008, -4/+54Monday: Bailout doesn't pass. Dow crashes.
Thursday: Bailout passes. Dow crashes.
Next week: Friendly aliens arrive and declare their wish to attend to our every material need. Dow crashes.
Week after that: Technological singularity, we all become brains in vats. Dow crashes. - inactive, on 10/03/2008, -3/+51bush? It might be "his" request, but how about congress's responsibility? Put the blame in the right place.
- replaysMike, on 10/03/2008, -5/+53More importantly, why are you still using IE6? It's 2008 man, welcome to the internets.
- merreborn, on 10/03/2008, -0/+45Only down 150?
Compared to most of the last 2 weeks, that's not bad at all. - qh4dotcom, on 10/03/2008, -1/+46and Marcy Kaptur and Brad Sherman
- redfred18t, on 10/03/2008, -11/+55Bailout, more like FAILOUT
- Nidy1, on 10/03/2008, -10/+51To be fair, it was down 400+ points after the buyout DIDN'T pass earlier this week.
- bigdoof, on 10/03/2008, -1/+39A 1.5% drop does not constitute a crash by any stretch of the imagination. One thing you also have to remember is that the stock market has already priced in the "bail out bill" passage well before it was officially passed. The market is run largely on expectation...the occurrence of an event that by consensus was going to inevitably happen will not cause the market to shift dramatically. This isn't really news at all.
- paulvq, on 10/03/2008, -2/+39Sigh, my Republican rep voted "no" earlier in the week, and I e-mailed him earlier week to ask him to do it again. He said he would continue to vote "no", and he voted "yes" today. Oh snap, it's his turn for reelection. I know who I'm not voting for!
- bigdoof, on 10/03/2008, -5/+41No. The market went down pre-Monday because of Citigroup's proposed aquisition of Wachovia's banking division, prompting fears of further collapse of the banking industry.
The Monday, the market went down further because Wall Street had largely anticipated the bailout bill's passage, and had already priced in this belief into the market price. The resulting rejection was a surprise, and stocks slid.
Tuesday, the markets went back up because of news that the bill's rejection by the House was not nearly as grave as first indicated. It was revealed that the reasons for the rejection were largely due to petty squabbling and political posturing. The market rose on this news, with the anticipation that the bill would inevitably pass. The realization of overcorrection a day before probably also played into the rise.
The bill passed today, but the market slid, largely due to news of increased unemployment. The market had already assumed the bail would pass, and the markets did not react dramatically one way or another to this news.
Remember: the market operates on information and speculation, and not the actual event itself (which may occur much later.) To someone that doesn't realize this, it may seem the market is acting irrationally. In reality, it merely acted several days prior. - Me0wmix, on 10/03/2008, -9/+45*****
- inactive, on 10/03/2008, -3/+36Applause.
- whahaa, on 10/03/2008, -5/+37so let me get this straight.
sunday they tell us that they have a bailout package on the table to be voted on. on monday the market opens already on it's way down before the bailout is rejected by the house. it is rejected and wall street goes into a tizzy because nobody really knows what's going on. on tuesday, the day after the bailout was rejected, the market rockets back up. all day tuesday the news is yelling that the only reason it's going back up is because of 'speculation that the bailout will eventually pass'. now the bailout passes and the market goes back down.
are we seeing a pattern here? i mean, to my eyes, it looks like the stock market was quite pleased with the bailout being rejected, and quite upset by it's passing. but that doesn't make sense because TV and all the talking heads on it have been saying the opposite. the ***** exact opposite. - inactive, on 10/03/2008, -1/+30The FED?
- agaiziunas, on 10/03/2008, -0/+26That one is shoved down my throat.
- Ramenhood, on 10/03/2008, -3/+27It went down 7 times that when it wasn't passed...
- BullPucky333, on 10/03/2008, -12/+36List of House members who voted yes...vote them OUT next month..

- avengingturnip, on 10/03/2008, -5/+27Gun the presses! Now we need more money to buy 'toxic' stock!
- KublaiKhan, on 10/03/2008, -1/+22...the "repubz"? More Dems voted for the bill than Republicans.
Seriously, quit introducing pointless partisan rhetoric, especially when it's patently false. - napshock, on 10/03/2008, -1/+227.) Stock up on campbell soup and zombie survival kits
- inactive, on 10/03/2008, -0/+20That must be Paulson buried in your ear hole.
- y0y0howsdajell0, on 10/03/2008, -17/+36McCain, Obama, and Biden all voted for it. Congrats, *****, you really ***** us over...
Hey neocons and Obamabots...Go ***** yourselves. You really screwed us all over with Pelosi and her "change" in Congress, and now Obama/Biden and McCain with their "change" in the White House...You ***** deserve what you ***** get, now that you've ***** us all over... - Demos27, on 10/03/2008, -2/+21The Dow went down because there was report saying that 159,000 jobs were lost (last month?). And economists are fearing that the bailout isn't going to do enough...
- ldailey06, on 10/03/2008, -1/+20seriously though, no one is gonna riot over this
- linuxzap, on 10/03/2008, -2/+20Since when -1.16% is a crash?
Buried as lame. - algaeturd, on 10/03/2008, -11/+27Yeah, this did wonders. And it's going to get worse...sell you cash, buy gold and foreign coin if you want to retain any of your wealth. Inflation will make your dollars worth about half...most likely less in the end.
- salinaspaul, on 10/03/2008, -12/+28BTW: 10,325.38 - Down 157.47 at 4:45pm EST
