Have to register to read. How many Pubs crossed? What was the vote breakdown?

A non-registered version of the story: House votes to extend tax on wealthy estates

Here is the roll call: Permanent Estate Tax Relief for Families, Farmers, and Small Businesses Act of 2009

Dem = 225 | Rep = 200; 26 Dems crossed to Nay; No Republicans voted Yea.
