each Rep allowed one minute to speak.

Rebuild. Rebrand. Renew commitment to core principles and people will come. But voters are wary and distrustful. And the recent capitulation by the three Republican pariahs does not give voters confidence that the Republicans are any smarter now.

Illinois Republican Schock says he has rec'd over 100 emails from Catepillar employees against this bill, he is voting nay.

I just got through to Snowe’s office...

PLEASE folks, as you are calling these Senators, PLEASE remember that the people answering the phones are just STAFFERS! They are doing a job, and anything short of polite respectful conversation is only adding to a FLOOD of what sounds like are incredibly abusive calls!

Let’s not be a part of abusing people who are just literally bodies answering phones. The more polite and respectful we are, the more likely our message will get pas these folks who are already taking a lot of verbal abuse!

Thanks guys! (Tips white hat to all FReepers, Lurkers, and everyone else trying to stop this Obamanation!)

Chris Dodd is speaking, is anyone filing a lawsuit against this asshat who is PART of CREATING this Financial Meltdown, he is ONE OF THE ARCHITECTS of it! You heard me, I am accusing him DIRECTLY of being part of its CREATION!

Now Steny says millions will be helped because of this bill after saying he had no idea if it would succeed.

He be speakin' out of both sides of his mouth.

There is so much that is unknown in this bill. One example: The Punish Mark Sanford Amendment. Not sure if I understand this, but it sounds like the bill includes a measure that if a governor will not accept the stimulus funds, then the state legislator can go around the governor and get the funds for their state.

We are with you, just can’t afford to be seen as unproductive in this economy with layoffs hanging over everyone’s head.

“There is plenty to complain about for everyone, and perhaps that’s the sign of a good compromise,” said U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, a Missouri Democrat. “Regardless of party, we all cast our votes with one hand and crossed our fingers with the other.”
