Alternative Assignment for September 30 **updated**

In lieu of class today here's a mini research project for you:

How did YOUR member of Congress vote on yesterday's failed $700 billion bailout package?

Don't know your representative? (You will likely need your zipcode+4) You should use the member of congress where you vote. (If back home, put in your home zip code. If Indiana, it depends on where you live because there are two members of congress in the county.)

Write your answer on a paper and turn in at class on Thursday. Include your Representative's NAME and how they voted (YEA or NAY). If from outside Pennsylvania, please indicate the state.

***UPDATE***

This assignment is completely OPTIONAL. It is worth TWO bonus percentage points.

Have a good day.
