111th Congress, Week One: Over 600 Bills Introduced
The 111th Congress didn’t waste any time. Over 600 bills were introduced last week, its first week of action.
The full tally of measures introduced is actually 740, but that includes non-substantive bills, housekeeping measures, and such. (We only display the substantive stuff – and we exclude bills to rename post offices too. Let us know if there are any you want to see, of course.)
The number we have on display is 634. That’s 31+ pages of bills for you to look through and decide your opinion on. (I dare you to go through and vote on them all!)
If you want an idea of the subjects all this legislation covers, take a look at the recent post Bills About Everything. You might be surprised at what you find. Congress is clearly putting itself at risk of being jack of all trades, master of none.
who's stupid here
We can’t continue to pull horses from kill pens if we have nowhere for them to go!! ):
Please contact me, ESPECIALLY if you live in NY, if you can foster a rescued horse.
If this is what you are up against,, stop trying to ban slaughter!!! These rescues think it is ok to beg for money, fosters etc. just so they can keep unwanted horses from being shipped to slaughter. If you can’t afford them stop hangin at the sale barns and draggin them home. Leave the sellers alone to choose and decide what they want to do with their animals.
