H.R.808 - Department of Peace and Nonviolence Act
- kenmoyes : Let us just continue to grow the Federal Government, shall we? What is the Department of State supposed to do, after this Department is created? If you want peace at all cost, vote for politicians who want peace at all cost. This is the lamest most unclear desire to build bureaucracy.
- kirk : Sorry ABNU,you are just too negative to get it. First, to much of the world, the Bush administration is the bad guys; Americans have been bossy and threatening for a long time. No one will be locked up or sent to re-education camps for bad attitude. People who live in fear cause as many wars as do those who want to conquer for power and wealth. War has been prevalent for millenia but humanity is starting to make a breakthrough toward positive thought and eventually that will bring peace. Want it and speak and act positively; stop the negative thinking. Getting peace is like voting, one voice becomes a multitude.

- curt : This is another BONE head proposal!

We provide storage and transportation to Africa and 3rd world countries. Lots of starving people in Africa and 3rd world countries will be too happy to eat the fish.

H.R.5546 - Credit Card Fair Fee Act of 2008
- billpirtle5 : In my opinion, HR 5546 is plain pandering to Wal Mart and big stores. This bill will not help middle size and small businesses in the least.
If your store is not hitting $25-50K in Bank Card Sales per month, you will not EVEN SEE the Interchange.
Small businesses only see Qualified, Mid Qualified and Non Qualified levels. These levels are created by the over 4500 credit card processors that only USE the INTERCHANGE as its costs.
I have reviewed the donors for the now 45 Congressmen now listed as co-authors of this piece of work. Most interesting how many Wal Mart has contributed to. Even MORE interesting how many the UFCW has contributed to. The UFCW (United Food and Commercial Workers), the union that Wal Mart has been keeping out of its stores using very questionable methods, I'm sure is just thrilled to see the Congressmen THEY donated money to voting for this piece of work that will save Wal Mart only a few pennies for every $100 processed but will raise fees for consumers and small businesses.
Wal Mart since Sam died, has sent jobs overseas to line their pockets. Their margins are ever increasing due to overseas imports. China said if Wal Mart was a country, it would be the 7th largest trading partner China has. And if you have been paying attention, you will note that the Chinese workers in those factories are now buying cars that need gas. Thus raising prices through higher demand.
Thank you Wal Mart. Congressmen, please do not allow the biggest family of vultures in America oontinue to pick clean the bones AND the wallets of American Consumers.

H.R.5843 - Act to Remove Federal Penalties for the Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults
- Ventrice : I'm fine with it passing, but if we start with this who's says it's going to stop at this? Soon people will want to say more is for "personal use" and then what about all the other drugs? I have no problem with pot, but have never done it. I know people who use it. I don't believe that it's a gateway drug or anything of the sort, but it still worries me that if we let this slack then who's to say we won't let other things slack as well? What about mushrooms? They grow naturally as well. Granted they are worse than pot, but from what I've heard around me the main argument is the pot is natural and so are 'shrooms.
- JToKKo : Introduced April of '08, its now October of '09.
This thing ain't movin.
