I'm rather proud of my Senators in Alabama. Both Sessions & Shelby voted NO. Shelby actually gave a really good speech in which he said quite clearly, "THIS IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE FREE MARKET".

my 2 floating turds, lautenberg and menendez voted for it. Btw, i don't capitalize names of turds that don't earn it. My view on this bailout voting is similar to the illegal alien amnesty votes: this is waking up people who never took action before to how totally corrupt and arrogant these turds are!

here is an interesting take on the senates' action:
A Bill that is Not Passed Cannot be Amended

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I propose to demonstrate that in accordance with Constitutional Law the Senate of the United States of America did tonight perpetrate an unlawful and illegal act to abrogate the right of citizens of the United States to vote as guaranteed in Article 15 Clause I of the Constitution. The Congress has revealed itself, our Constitution cannot be interpreted, as it took over ten years to pass and is written in the plain language which can be amended but not abridged. Currently, the United States Senators who voted yes to an amendment of House Resolution 1424 defeated in the house, never sent to the Senate, and overwhelmingly not approved by the constituency is an act of authority made "Under Color of Law", a crime against the country “Under Color of Representative Authority” not condoned in title 42 and publishable as a treasonous offense and any such law is null and of no effect.

In accordance with Article I Section no money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in Consequence of Appropriations made by law under Article I Section 9 of the Constitution. Unless they have the appropriation in hand an identified they cannot draw from the Treasury.

Additionally, each member of the Senate voting yes on this alleged Bill did in fact, with full knowledge execute an illegal act under "Color of Law" to pass as piece of revenue legislation by amendment with full knowledge that the Bill had been defeated in the House of Representatives just two days earlier. They have complete legal understanding that only a Bill that has been properly submitted by first receiving a majority of votes in the House of Representatives could be amended and passed by the Senate. This unbelievable act of the Senate even attempts to circumvent Article I Section 7 of the Constitution, the "Origination Clause."

Further, the yeah votes "Under Color of Representation" denied and deprived the American citizen of constitutional rights under the 14th Amendment Section 1 and the 19th Amendment Clause I which collectively protect all right reserved to the citizens and rights not to be denied or abridged which are guaranteed under Article 9 of the Constitution. These in the Congress of the United States are bound by oath under Article 6 to support the Constitution and any act not supported in the constitution is a felony lawfully considered void and of no effect.

However, we can see the silver lining in this egregious act of lawlessness. These criminals in the Senate who signed to pass this bill have a responsibility to understand the procedural requirements necessary to pass such an amendment. House Resolution 1424 is an Amendment. Clearly it is labeled as an amendment. Constitutional procedure dictates that you can Amend a Bill that has been passed. You cannot Amend a Bill which failed to pass and was therefore not properly submitted. These people have declared themselves as traitors before God and the Citizens of this country. They have attempted to sell out this country to the public corporations by assuming their private debt without the consent of the Citizens of this country. Article 15 Section 1 of the Constitution states: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." The rights of the!

citizens of this country to vote on this issue has clearly been abridged by this egregious act of the Senate.

To further state my interpretation of this act of the Senate, I refer to Amendment 14 Section 4 of the Constitution: "The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void."

I ask each of you to send this information to your representatives so that they can understand that their constituents will not tolerate this unlawful act and will seek to unseat every single Senator who voted to pass this fraudulent bill.

Pennsylvania's two Senators voted for the bailout, but I'm not going to pretend that it came as a great shock.

Hey, Jalie,
Trade you Senators...! A huge weight around our necks here in NV is Harry Reid, so I expected his "NO." But Ensign shows a bit of intelligence on occasion....but alas, not this time. Very, very disappointed and I told him so. I spoke this morning to Congressman Heller's office and thanked him for his previous "no" vote, and asked him to be one of the heroes who continues to represent the will of the people. We'll see.

I'm pissed. When I called Specter's office last week, his aide said he was against it because it was a "waste of taxpayer money". What a lying sack. Gonna have to call and complain now. I really wish there was someone worthwhile running against this guy - where are the RP candidates in south central PA?
