‘The largest group of beneficiaries in the tax portion of the financial [bailout] bill is…upper-middle income taxpayers,’ notes an Associated Press article. House Roll Call On Bailout, State By StateBy Cliff Montgomery – Oct. 3rd, 2008Today 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.AlabamaAye AL-1 Bonner, Jo [R]Aye AL-2 Everett, Terry [R]Aye AL-3 Rogers, Michael [R]Nay AL-4 Aderholt, Robert [R]Aye AL-5 Cramer, Robert [D]Aye AL-6 Bachus, Spencer [R]Aye AL-7 Davis, Artur [D]AlaskaNay AK-0 Young, Donald [R]ArizonaNay AZ-1 Renzi, Rick [R]Nay AZ-2 Franks, Trent [R]Aye AZ-3 Shadegg, John [R]Aye AZ-4 Pastor, Edward [D]Aye AZ-5 Mitchell, Harry [D]Nay AZ-6 Flake, Jeff [R]Nay AZ-7 Grijalva, Raul [D]Aye AZ-8 Giffords, Gabrielle [D]ArkansasAye AR-1 Berry, Robert [D]Aye AR-2 Snyder, Victor [D]Aye AR-3 Boozman, John [R]Aye AR-4 Ross, Mike [D]CaliforniaAye CA-1 Thompson, C.

Lawmakers generally only fight to protect the things they care about – and all too often, that just doesn’t include the lives of most of their constituents.
