John Lewis & Bill Pascrell Switch To 'yes' On Bailout
Reps. John Lewis (D-Ga.) and Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.), both of whom voted "no" last Monday on the bailout package, just formally announced that they they will support, albeit grudgingly.
"We must act," Lewis said in a House floor speech. "Now is the time to act."
Pascrell said, "We've improved certain parts of the bill" since Monday's vote. "So to help the American people, I am now supporting the financial rescue package."
