1. I just LOVE that Waxman is sponsoring it in the House.

No secret that Kerry, Waxman, Conyers and Kucinich are favorites of mine because they are the ones who consistently seek out government corruption to expose it.

I have to throw Boxer and Durbin in there, too.

2. They make a great team for sure, I hope Kerry gets it to pass

Ditto w/your Representatives & HR 1668, which has only 43 co-sponsors.
