loki0629 55 Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 While I was digging around the GovTrack site I found this: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h110-1096 So far there haven't been any sponsors but now I can bug my rep about not sponsoring HR1022 and sponsoring HR1096 instead. Actually, if we spend the majority of our efforts in trying to get this bill passed we wouldn't have to worry about HR1022 at all. Meanwhile, I'll still be fighting the stupid NJ bans.
