Who voted for and against the Stimulus Bill?

According to Thomas, the Library of Congress' Congressional website, H.R. 1 (The Stimulous Bill) as amended through conference, passed the U.S. House of Representatives on Feb. 13, 2009 with 246 yeas, 183 nays, 1 voted present and 3 not voting.

NOT A SINGLE REPUBLICAN voted for this legislation.

Seven courageous Democrats stood up and voted with their Republican colleagues in a true bi-partisan fashion - they are: Bobby Bright (AL-2), Peter DeFazio (OR-4), Parker Griffith (AL-5), Walt Minnick (ID-1), Collin Peterson (MN-7), Heath Shuler (NC-11) and Gene Taylor (MS-4). Please send them a letter or email, or call their offices to voice your thanks and appreciation for their courageous stand. They will be under tremendous pressure by Nancy Pelosi and your voice of support will only help them make the right decision in the future.

Lipinski (D) voted Present.

Clyburn (D), Campbell (R) and Lee (R-NY) didn't vote.

On the Senate side, the bill passed by a vote of 60 yeas, 38 nays with 1 not voting.

Ted Kennedy (D-MA) did not vote and Minnesota currently only has one Senator until the Coleman/Franken lawsuit is settled.

Senators Snowe and Collins from Maine were Republicans who voted in favor (taking a major piece of pork called the medical records warehouse into their state for an inducement); Senator Arlen Spector (R-PA) also voted in favor of this after receiving an earmark for a new cancer center for his state. Other than Kennedy not voting, all other Democrats and Independents (Lieberman and Sanders) voted in favor. President Obama is due to sign the bill soon in a ceremony in Denver. Here is the Feb. 13, 2009 Senate Roll Call Vote.
