This is dictatorial, and the legislation they wanted to pass is dictatorial. It was by a miracle we won the close vote 228-205. Just several hours earlier I read reports that leaders of both parties had "come to an agreement" and were expecting passage. I believe they will alter the the proposal somewhat in order to win over several more votes, probably with semi-secret promises to a few select members fo the House. Therefore we must keep up the pressure on our Representatives - tell them to oppose the bailout in ANY form!
