SHAME: 18 DEMOCRATS BETRAY THEIR PARTY AND THE PEOPLE

18 Democrats voted in favor of the bankruptcy billed aimed at protecting billionaires from the poor. Despite the fact that credit card companies have seen their profits rise 167% in the last five years, 18 members of the party that is supposed to represent the most vulnerable in our society voted on the side of big business. The shameful 18 are:

Baucus, Mont.
Bayh, Ind.
Biden, Del.
Bingaman, N.M.
Byrd, W.Va.
Carper, Del.
Conrad, N.D.
Inouye, Hawaii
Johnson, S.D.

Landrieu, La.
Lincoln, Ark.
Nelson, Fla.
Nelson, Neb.
Pryor, Ark.
