Two GA congressmen change vote on bailout

Two of Georgia’s house members changed their vote today in support of the 700 billion dollar bailout package. Georgia’s seven Republicans in the U.S. House knows as the G7 held the line. They voted no on the bailout. That vote is in contrast to Georgia’s Republican Senators. Both of them supported the package.

Representative Lynn Westmoreland issued a statement saying he voted no on Monday because the package was the wrong approach to the financial crisis. Today he says he voted no because it was the same package with "sweeteners added to attract votes."

Democrat David Scott was one who changed his mind, saying enough provisions were added to prevent more foreclosures.

And Representative John Lewis told his colleagues "the fear that is gripping Wall Street has the power to shut down Main street." He said "the people are afraid."
