My sources indicate that HR 6311, which kingsnake has been following since it was introduced this spring, is dead and will be replaced by a new bill next year.



Instead of wasting time on this issue people would be better focused putting their energy into meeting with and discussing the issues with your representatives before the 2009 Congress meets.



If we want to defeat issues such as these we need to be careful and follow the processes and procedures in place to defeat these issues, rather than doing things such as starting petitions that have no little to no impact on the process. Going outside the procedures does little more except give the impression that we are a radical self-interest group with no knowledge of how the system works.



I know everyone wants to get fired up but we need to start working smarter rather than harder.
