Shea-Porter Statement on Bailout Vote

“Today, I voted “No” on the Wall Street Bailout.  As a member of the middle class, I understand what is at stake. Our economy is in the midst of a financial crisis. The lack of oversight and accountability on Wall Street has been devastating to both the health of our financial system and the security of the middle class.

Horn to Hodes:  Stop Finger Pointing and START WorkING on Economic Problem

NASHUA –Jennifer Horn, Republican candidate for Congress, released the following statement in response to Paul Hodes’ ducking responsibility for the economic crisis:

MANCHESTER-- Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani credited John McCain with helping to rally Republican support for the financial bailout legislation that failed in the House of Representatives.

Giuliani made the comments while campaigning in New Hampshire for Executive Councilor Ray Wieczorek (R-Manchester).

Both U.S. Rep. Paul Hodes (D-Concord) and U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-Rochester) have issued statements relating to their votes on the financial bailout, they both voted no on the bill.

"Our economy has been battered by eight years of a financial wild west on Wall Street. There was no oversight and no accountability," Shea-Porter said in a statement. "I thought it was a mistake for the Administration to ask Congress to vote on a $700 billion bill to bail out Wall Street with only a single week to consider the proposal and a single day to review it. The Administration asked Congress to give up its Constitutional power of the purse and hand over a blank check for $700 billion. Congress said no."
