7. Yup but our guys should use this as further proof of the Repugnant parties corruption.

Won't swing the die hard morons that support Trump but it might shake loose any remaining independents as well as give us something to rally our base around for a Blue Tsunami in 2020.

3. Where do I go to find printable text for House bills?

I think I want to start giving my trump supporting mom copies of these bills. If she'll read them, maybe she can start to see how trump, fox, and other right wing pundits are lying outright.

Edit to add you can find other bills there too. That is the government site that provides the status of bills and includes the text.
