Anyone else notice the name of this bill?
BILL TITLE: To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide earnings assistance and tax relief to members of the uniformed services, volunteer firefighters, and Peace Corps volunteers, and for other purposes
What the heck does the above have to do with a bailout? And is this maybe why it was voted down? They tried to tack the "bailout" onto another bill. How many other earmarks were included in this proposed bill?
Anyone know where one could find a link to the entire 110 page proposed bill so we can read for ourselves what OUR congress was really voting on?
I'm sitting here watching the vote and being awed by the fact that you really CAN'T fool all of the people all of the time. I wonder what they have in mind now to try to get our money?
REP my friend!! If all this nonsense keeps going on and on and.........I'm so sick of it. I'm beginning to believe nothing short of a revolution will save of middle class hard working Americans.

Off the top of my head Acorn and LaRaza are of many.
Is there any way to find out who put those two in there?
Heck I am trying my darnedest here to find a copy of the proposed bill and can not find a thing. How are the people supposed to tell out reps how to vote on a proposed bill if we can't read it?
Does anyone out there know where we can read a copy of this bill?
Add: FOUND IT!!! Starting to read now but if anyone else cares to read it, it is here in PDF: http://www.politisite.com/act.pdf (broken link)

Unless it is stated somewhere in the bill, or a member of the house or senate "leaks" that information, I highly doubt it. Our government is determined to keep what they do in the dark from ever coming to the light.
