H.J.RES.77 : Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to authorize the President to reduce or disapprove any appropriation or authorization of new direct spending in any bill presented by Congress.  Sounds like a line item veto.

H.R.2791 : To amend title 35, United States Code, with respect to patent fees, and for other purposes. I hope this is a decrease versus an increase.  But would the goverment every let you do things cheaper.

H.R.3729 : To provide emergency authority to delay or toll judicial proceedings in United States district and circuit courts.  You remember that president Tricky Dick?  This sounds like his kind of an action, what is a ’emergency’ situation?

H.R.4709 : To amend title 18, United States Code, to strengthen protections for law enforcement officers and the public by providing criminal penalties for the fraudulent acquisition or unauthorized disclosure of phone records.  Soiunds to me like the illegal wire tapping, can still go on.  But they will get a harder slap on the wrist.

H.R.4724 : To establish requirements with respect to the transfer of oil to or from an onshore or offshore facility, or a vessel with a capacity of over 250 barrels in United States waters, and for other purposes.  Shouldn’t this law already been in effect?

H.R.4731 : To require owners of Internet websites to destroy obsolete data containing personal information.  This sounds like a good idea, but I do not like this guy.  He has been trying to push bad roller coaster legislation.

H.R. 4706  To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to deny any deduction for certain gifts and benefits provided to physicians by prescription drug manufacturers.  Seems like a good bill, it will keep things from happening like Vioxx, if it passes.

S. 2249: A bill to eliminate the requirement that States collect Social Security numbers from applicants for recreational licenses. That is a no brainer.

S. 2251: A bill to amend the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to repeal the ultra-deepwater and unconventional onshore natural gas and other petroleum research and development program.  A good way to clean up our water.

I am only going to let you know if there are only action on the bills I am watching.  Makes my NYR easier.  But if anybody actually read this and feels left out, let me know.  I am not talking about that SS or NSA agent.

Letter to Senators of NE

H.R. 4659. You voted to pass an extension on this. On/Before March 10th I urge you to vote against renewing the Patriot Act. It is eroding away at our civil liberties. Please vote no on any extensions or renewal of this Act.

S.2243, this is a good bill. S.2244, this is a good bill. S.2241, I don’t know what this bill is but it sound kinda fishy. This admendment was introducted but ruled out of order S.AMDT.2716 to H.R.4297To establish a congressional commission to examine the Federal, State,and local response to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina inthe Gulf Region of the United States especially in the States ofLouisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and other areas impacted in theaftermath and make immediate corrective measures to improve suchresponses in the future.. I think it would be good to find out what really happend.

I made it to today, and keeping an eye on the following bills
H.R.4668
To limit assistance to the Palestinian Authority unless the President certifies to Congress that the Palestinian Authority is not controlled by a foreign terrorist organization, and for other purposes.
This bill makes me kinda torn, if I am against it I guess I support terriosm (which I don’t). If I am for it I am all about sticking our nose in other countries business which I am not. Once again it isn’t in Terry’s Committee
H.R.4667
Title: To provide greater transparency with respect to lobbying activities, and for other purposes. I am for this bill, it isn’t in Terry’s Committee.
H.RES.646
Denying the entitlement to the privilege of admission to the Hall of the House to any former Member of the House who is a registered lobbyist. I am for this bill, once again it isn’t in Terry’s Committee

There are seven bills introduced into the HOR yesterday about denying lobbyists access to the House Floor or clarity. Pass them all.

Didn’t act on my ……
