Well, here it is – finally. After much “rassling” of the data, it is now (I think) correct. As is usually the case when the democrats are involved, the data just didn’t want to be agreeable. I had a difficult time getting multiple lists to agree. When I finally began double-checking the final list, I found three representatives who had voted “NO” on the list. That would be a real disservice, to name someone who voted against that crap sandwich as having voted for it. And I also found two names not on the list who did vote for the bill. My point is, if you pick up another list as a source of who voted for the aberration, you better check it out against a known quality list to be sure that they agree.
I started by using a list that had full names and states, but not districts. That’s the reason for using that list. I then looked up the district for each of the reps. That first list was not wholly accurate, although I didn’t know it at the time – it was a more friendly format for entry into my Excel spreadsheet.
Once the spreadsheet was done, I checked it against two reputable sources, the clerk of house.gov and opencongress.org. That’s when I found the errors. Here are links to those two sources:
And this is the one that I consider the definitive one since it’s from the house.gov site, it has all of the “aye” votes together, alphabetically by last name: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2010/roll165.xml
Note: although this is the correct url that I used, it wouldn’t work for me Saturday afternoon. UPDATE: It didn’t work Sunday morning, but did work at 7:00 pm on Sunday – don’t know what’s going on there, but the url IS correct. If it doesn’t work for you all I can say is “keep trying.”
If any of you would like the list as a Word attachment, let me have your e-mail address and I’ll send it to you.

Remember in November
My fellow Americans, we have been scammed, tricked, and defrauded by 219 of our so-called elected representatives.
219 individuals that we elected to represent us in Washington, D.C. voted as a conspiracy to take away freedoms, saddle ourselves and our grandchildren with unsustainable debt, and ruin a health care delivery system that was the envy of the world. They are solely responsible for forcing down our collective throats, a “crap sandwich.”
They followed the orders of Speaker Pelosi and accepted Obama’s promises, and voted against the wishes of the American people. They ignored the polls showing that Americans were against passage of the bill. They tuned out our voices and the 219 democrats on this list voted against us, finally passing the bill.
Contrary to promises made by Obama and Pelosi, it was anything but bipartisan – indeed the only bipartisanship was on the “no” side of the vote, which included all 178 Republicans and 34 democrats. The passage of H.R.3590 by (at least) 216 votes, was a cause - a challenge - to the congressional leadership, most notably Speaker Pelosi and Senate Leader Reid – for them, it was a personal crusade, an us-against-them contest. And they won.
While the bill has become known as “Obamacare,” that is really a misnomer. It should be more accurately known as “Demcare.” The congressional democrats are solely responsible for it – they own it, and they will be held accountable for it.
Most of these traitors lined up to vote in favor of the legislation long before the drafting was complete. Their intention was clear, to pass a “healthcare” bill regardless of its cost or whether it was good for the country. They were prepared to do anything to get it passed – damn the Constitution and damn the people – “full steam ahead.”
Our choice is clear. We must replace each of these turncoats. They did not represent us, they represented Pelosi and Reid. They demonstrated the very definition of political arrogance. We will have our opportunity on November 2, 2010 to repay their betrayal.
We will not forget.

UPDATE: Townhall's wonderful editor prevents me from including the representative's full last name for Washington's 6th district cause it is deemed "inappropriate." It should end in "ks." I've been complaining about the problem for almost two years - bad enough it doesn't allow proper names, but doesn't flush the error after it is fixed. Thanks Townhall.
