So, below the border, the House of Representatives voted AGAINST the financial bail-out bill.
The exact breakdown is as follows:
Democratic Reps – For the Bill: 140
Against: 95
Republican Reps – For: 65
Against: 133
Republican Congressman Jerry Weller (R-Illinois) abstained.
So, that brings the total to 205 “Ayes” and 228 “Noes”.

Personally, I see this a victory for democracy, as most Americans do NOT support this bailout.

Correction – CARS should read CRA as in Community Reinvestment Act.
