More than 350 bills were introduced in Congress on its first day yesterday. At that rate, we’ll easily rocket past 10,000 bills, and past the last Congress’ record of over 11,000 bills. (And of course that rate won’t actually continue.)

We’ll be adding the new bills to the database throughout the day, but what an impressive array of issue Congress is claiming to address.

H.R. 17 would protect gun rights.

H.R. 15 would create a national health insurance system. S. 4 would do something similar: “guarantee affordable, quality health coverage for all Americans.” (Pony, anyone?)

H.R. 24 would rename the Navy.

S. 5 would end the United States’ dependence on foreign oil.

S. 1 would do it all: create jobs, restore economic growth, and strengthen America’s middle class through measures that modernize the nation’s infrastructure, enhance America’s energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need.

S. 2 is similar, but it’s for the dreamers. It would “improve the lives of middle class families and provide them with greater opportunity to achieve the American dream.” I feel better already!

There are an endless array of subjects that the new Congress is going after. Thumb through the bills and take a look.

When you do, you may notice that there’s no H.R. 1-10. There’s a practice in the House of reserving the first 10 bills or so for “marquis” legislation. Leadership will decide what bills get to have single digits. So we’ll be watching for those to come in too. Might take a while.

The 111th Congress is roaring out the gate!
