If you are interested in a Legislative forum to keep tabs on
newly introduced bills in Congress, please post here.

I think it's very worthwhile. It's almost impossible on an individual basis.

Skinner has said he'd be interested if enough people respond.

Thanks.

1. Count me in
Great idea. I'd also support a "Regulator Watch" forum that announces changes in regulations by the cabinet level departments.

5. We can't rely on the media, so someone needs to do it.

9. Great idea!
Count me in.

Not that I do much good on the letter writing front with bills etc, but I do like to keep tabs on stuff.

14. I would be nice...
... to have a central information resource for the introduction and progress of legislation.

Perfect format, one thread per item (unless it got too big). Would be important to keep the threads concise, i.e. a source of information and maybe some viewpoint, but not long discussions - leave them for the discussion forums?????

15. I would be very interested!
It would be helpful so we can hone in on what we really like and really don't like so we can lobby intensely one way or the other.

16. Excellent idea!!! Helps us track the "hidden" legislation in legislation.
It's amazing, the laws inserted in legislation having nothing to do with the laws/provisions stuck within. You would think there would a law prohibiting such deceptive and corrupt tactics!

17. This is a good idea...
Just commenting on the news doesn't do anymore than increase the blood pressure. This might be a place to get something done.
