Washington, D.C. , Sep 29 -

Washington, DC:  Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave released the following statement regarding her vote on the proposed Wall Street bailout:

“Today I voted against a piece of legislation that was fatally flawed from the beginning.  This bill was too hastily assembled and had taxpayers paying far too high a price. The staggering amount of money, $700 billion, and the lack of real reform were, in the end, simply unacceptable.  I am aware that this is an uncertain time and many people in Colorado are concerned about their investments and retirement plans. That is why I will stay in Washington and work until we find a solution.  This is not a time for partisan blame games or political theater but a time for us to roll up our sleeves and work together to get the job done for the American people.”

The Congresswoman talked to Fox News about her vote against the Wall Street bailout.
