8 RINO Republicans (mainly from the northeast, but Mary Bono-Mack of Palm Springs also voted for it) joined the Democrats in voting for it. 44 Democrats joined (a thank-you to those Democrats!) the rest of the Republicans in voting against it.
My brain-dead congressman, Brad Sherman (left), also voted for it. No surprise there. But I plan to make his life miserable.
Now the fight goes over to the U.S. Senate. I doubt we'll make any headway in persuading California's two radical liberal senators, Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, to vote against it. Still, you must contact your U.S. senator and urge them to vote no. This is a bad piece of legislation, especially now that we are in this current economic mess.
Don't forget to vote against those who voted for this!

My representative voted for this bill as well. No big surprise there but it still aggravates me.
I was able to talk to one of my senators though and he does not think that the bill will pass the Senate.
I hope it never passes the senate. As Minority Leader Boehner said, it is a "pile of sh-t!"
