H. Con. Res. 78 Condemning the Government of Iran for violating its international nuclear nonproliferation obligations and expressing support for efforts to report Iran to the United Nations Security Council. Lee Terry voted Aye It is currently in the Senate, no info on it yet.
H. R. 4774 To amend the Clean Air Act to require that, after the year 2012, all gasoline sold to consumers in the United States for motor vehicles contain not less than 10 percent renewable fuel and for other purposes. 10% what a joke, it is a good move. Of course there is that whole E85 which is 85% ethanol and 15% gas. No need to force them to do that or anything. This bill is currently in the house.
H. Res. 687 Raising a question of the privileges of the House. Not a bill but I wonder what this is about?
H. Res. 688 Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to require that legislation and conference reports be available on the Internet for 72hours before consideration by the House, and for other purposes. Not a bill once again, but this is interesting. Will slow down the legislative process.
H. Res. 694 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that, following a year of record setting profits, major petroleum products companies should incorporate the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program into their corporate citizenship and responsibility programs. A great idea seeing how people have $1,000 monthly bill, up from $200.
H. R. 4772 To simplify and expedite access to the Federal courts for injured parties whose rights and privileges under the United States Constitution have been deprived by final actions of Federal agencies or other government officials or entities acting under color of State law, and for other purposes. Guantanmo Bay would be in trouble
H. R. 4782 To permanently prohibit oil and gas leasing off the coast of the State of California, and for other purposes. H. R. 4783 To prohibit offshore drilling on the outer Continental Shelf off the State of Florida, and for other purposes. Keep our water clean

S. 2253 A bill to require the Secretary of the Interior to offer the 181 Area of the Gulf of Mexico for oil and gas leasing. This is stupid, why not take that money and invest it in Wind/Solar Power. This is up for a hearing in the commitee.

S. 2280 A bill to stop transactions which operate to promote fraud, risk, and under-development, and for other purposes. This is a very intresting bill. I don’t think it will pass though.
S. 2283 A bill to establish a congressional commemorative medal for organ donors and their families. I am a registered organ donor, everyone should be. There is no reason to have them buried with you.
H.R. 4752 To provide for the common defense by requiring all persons in theUnited States, including women, between the ages of 18 and 42 toperform a period of military service or a period of civilian service infurtherance of the national defense and homeland security, and forother purposes. Holy Shit, that is fucking wrong. This one better die in comitee.
S. Res. 372 A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that oil and gascompanies should not be provided outer Continental Shelf royalty reliefwhen energy prices are at historic highs. Yeah that is going to happen, lol.

Letter sent to Representive Lee Terry:
I am contacting you about H.R. 2791, and H.R. 3729. I have been keeping track of these bills. These two bills appear on the Union Calendar as 203, and 202.
I urge you to vote against H.R. 3729, this border on Judicial Activism. The law is ambiguous at best with its ’emergency’ situation. That ’emergency situation’ portion of the bill should be stricken from the Resolution or the bill should fail to pass the house.
I urge you to vote for H.R. 2791. Reducing the fees for patents is a great idea, American innovation needs assistance. Cheaper fees will allow home inventors to submit designs, instead of just cash loaded entities.
Got My Eye on You #9c
H. R. 2791 To amend title 35, United States Code, with respect to patent fees, and for other purposes. This is a bill to reduce fees for patents. But what is really intresting is the donation from employees of companys like: National Assocation of Realtors, National Auto Dealers Assn, GE, Microsoft, and Time Warner. $232,700. I will be e-mailing Lee Terry, looks like this is going to the floor for a up down vote.

This is a post for an informational update on H.R. 3729 This bill was not introduced on 2/8/2006. It was introduced on Sep 13, 2005. It has been in committee since that day. Which means it is not dead, it is on the Union Calendar(yeah I didn’t know what that means, finding out) Calendar of the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, to which shall be referred public bills and public resolutions raising revenue, involving a tax or charge on the people, directly or indirectly making appropriations of money or property or requiring such appropriations to be made, authorizing payments out of appropriations already made, releasing any liability to the United States for money or property, or referring a claim to the Court of Claims., I guess that means it is going to go to the House Floor for a vote. A total of $48,500 has been donated for this bill, Lee Terry will be getting a letter urging him to vote no on this bill. If it comes up for a floor vote.

S.2262 : A bill to provide that pay may not be disbursed to Members of Congress after October 1 of any fiscal year in which all appropriations acts are not passed by Congress, and for other purposes. Good bill, I figure if they can’t get our money probably distrubuted, they shouldn’t get paid
S.2263 : A bill to amend title 49, United States Code, to require that automobiles and light trucks manufactured after model year 2007 be able to operate on a fuel mixture that is at least 85 percent ethanol, and for other purposes. A reasonable alternative fuel bill, DOA
