RE: How a Bill May or May Not Become a Law, Part 5
Just a reminder … big Congressional committee vote this week in Washington DC. If you haven’t already, express your support for HR 5767 by sending your representative a pre-templated PPA email.
Especially if your congressperson is on the House Financial Services Committee. (Damn, they’ve really got a lot on their plate. Scroll down and you’ll get a sense of what a big step getting this bill to a vote really will be.)

It got voted in committee today, Peter King added an amendment that would have basically made the UIGEA unenforceable, it lost in a 32-32 tie. Then the bill itself was voted down by voice vote.

Kevin, I was writing that post now with all my super-inside secret info sources … but no, you’ve gotta scoop me, don’t you?
You did get one detail wrong though. Ha ha!
