O.C. Reps. split on bailout vote

The five U.S. representatives who hail from Orange County were divided on the Monday vote for the emergency rescue package.

Reps. John Campbell (R-Irvine) and Ken Calvert (R-Corona) voted ford the bill, which would invest up to $700 billion in troubled financial companies. In a speech delivered from the house floor, Campbell urged his colleagues to support the legislation.

“I desperately hope and pray that we as a body, Democrats and Republicans alike, have the courage to pass this bill,” Campbell said, according to the Orange County Register.

His pleas, however, did not work on his fellow O.C. congress members. Reps. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Huntington Beach), Loretta Sanchez (D-Anaheim), and Ed Royce (R-Fullerton) voted against the legislation, joining 21 other California representatives.

In a statement explaining her opposition, Sanchez cited concerns that "this package does not do enough to help the average American keep their home, and to ensure that the Wall Street executives that got us in to this mess don't walk away with millions of dollars."

Rohrabacher called the legislation an example of "hysteria-based policy making," according to the O.C. Register.

"Emergency measures without policy reform to correct what brought you to the emergency in the first place makes no sense," Rohrabacher added.
