Senate Bill S510 makes it illegal to grow, share, trade or sell homegrown food.

are trying to get passed. I wonder if the Dems that are holding out to protect labor are thinking about MTs at all? Because we sit in the US and it is already happening, they might not consider us at risk, but perhaps there might be some loose language in it that could be intepreted in our favor and help us. I don't think it would do much good to call a repubican representative, but a democrat even if it isn't your state, might be interested in adding us and ...

Senate Health Bill - 1502 pages "It's important to remember that the bill won't exist in this form for long. Senate Majority Leader Reid and Sens. Max Baucus and Chris Dodd along with senior White House aides are merging the Finance and Health Committee legislation into one bill that will be considered on the floor of the Senate. The behind-closed-doors dealings have drawn criticism from Republicans, particularly because President Obama had promised a transparent process and ...

It's going to a committee. Why? Do they really need to study this bill? It's very simple. Why this bill should become law: The bill would give the VA Secretary greater authority to fire employees and remove them from SES service due to poor performance in the same manner a Member of Congress can remove a member of their staff. The bill would require the VA Secretary to give the Senate and House Veterans’ Affairs Committees notice of removal within 30 days of removing an indi ...

Hopefully, when the Senate and House blend the bills, it will truly be good for the country. Only time will tell. I noted that 3/4 of the amendments were not introduced or voted on in the Senate. WASHINGTON - Prodded by national anger at Wall Street, the Senate on Thursday passed the most far-reaching restraints on big banks since the Great Depression. In its broad sweep, the massive bill would touch Wall Street CEOs and first-time homebuyers, high-flying traders and small town lenders. T ...

The bill will be brought to the voters. Montana Senate is Republican majority. "HELENA, Mont (Reuters) - Over loud objections from Democrats, Montana's Republican-controlled Senate on Friday voted to put proposals on the 2014 ballot that would tighten voter registration and restrict the rights of third parties to compete in general elections. The measures, which are expected to be approved by the Republican-majority House, do not need approval from the Democratic governor. The ...

By Daniel TencerThursday, January 21st, 2010 -- 2:29 pm Dems mull reconciliation to push through reforms: report House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi says there aren't enough votes in the House to pass the Senate version of health reform, but what that means for the future of health reform is far from clear. "In its present form without any changes I don't think it's possible to pass the Senate bill in the House," Pelosi said after meeting with the Democratic caucus on Thursday, ...

I must go look at it now that it passed. There were stipulations that didn't rein in Wall Street but one article I read stated it does that. "The Senate passed the financial overhaul package in a final vote Thursday, ending more than a year of wrangling over the shape of the landmark legislation. The focus now shifts to the monumental task of implementing the new regulations over coming weeks and months. The 60 to 39 decision came just before 3 p.m, only a few hours after Democr ...

"With Democrats pressing for passage this week, Senate Republicans, backed by their leader, Mitch McConnell, attempted to attach controversial legislation calling for possible new sanctions on Iran that President Barack Obama opposes." "The legislation had the backing of most veterans' organizations, but was doomed by deep disagreements between Democrats and Republicans that have made this Congress one of the least productive in decades.

Was watching in the wee hours of the morning this morning. RTTNews) - The U.S. Senate passed a continuing resolution Saturday to fund the federal government through March of next year, a vital stopgap measure that will also increase the federal budget by 0.6 percent come January. The resolution, the last piece of legislation passed before Congress takes a break to campaign before elections on November 6, passed after Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., dropped calls to cut U.S. aid to Pakistan, Libya ...

Good for Heller: "It was the right thing to do." House GOP continues to all but guarantee another Dem president by endorsing discrimatory practices. A good indicator is major projected wins by Dems tomorrow and, unless GOP wants to take a small step into the present, big Dem takeover in 2014. ...

In fact, the Senate is counting on raising $120 billion in new taxes over the next 10 years, the majority of which will come from the middle class. Another $30 billion is expected to roll in from the actual tax on insurance plans, but far more comes from wages. "This is a big tax on the middle class," said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, former director of the Congressional Budget Office, noting that 95 percent of people with the so-called Cadillac plans make under $250,000. And that tax, critics sa ...

Wait, what? Is this to save Sen. Tim Cullein from himself if there is a next time? So, we did the right thing, but it's not good for the institution of the Senate to do it.

Even though this happened in 2013, how many have been released THIS year? ______________________ In 2013, ICE freed 36,007 convicted criminal aliens from detention who were awaiting the outcome of deportation proceedings, according to a document obtained by the Center for Immigration Studies. This group included aliens convicted of hundreds of violent and serious crimes, including homicide, sexual assault, kidnapping, and aggravated assault. The list of crimes also includes more than 16,000 dr ...

Is India going to be the 'new China'? It sounds like it with all the CEOs wanting to do business there with low labor costs. I'm thinking outsoursing MT work was just the beginning and we can yell all we want about it but our voices will be ignored. Although the headline states 'both sides hope to expand ties', with the low pay in India, how will they ever be able to afford American goods? I think this will turn out to be another one-sided deal, with the U.S. losing agai ...

It will be interesting to see how this affects the US economy--here's a little of what we are looking at: One aim of the free-trade agreement would be to eliminate or reduce tariffs - taxes that apply to imported goods. For both the EU and US average tariffs are already low, below 3% on one measure. But further reductions could nonetheless stimulate additional trade and there are some areas where tariffs are much higher, notably food. Beyond that, the negotiations would try to re ...

Trying to use the World Trade Center as if it were a christian tragedy rather than a human tragedy is wrong. Not only did Christians die that day, but so did a lot of Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists and yes, Atheists and Agnostics.No one group has a monopoly on the site, nor on the suffering and pain the event caused. You would think a religion founded on brotherhood, tolerance and inclusion would try to understand that- but once again, American Christians have forgotten Christs message, and ar ...

Has a miracle taken place or did some Dems wake up and see how Obama is trying to turn our government into something other than a republic?????FYI, this article is from one of the liberal Dems favorite leftwing websites. :)After years of ridiculing the Tea Party movement’s talk of Obama as an autocrat, the left is now pushing those very buttons. That sounds like a garden-variety pitch from a grass-roots constitutional conservative. Except Covington is no Tea Partier. He is an organi ...
