Semi-historic Vote Coming Up

How a Bill May or May Not Become a Law, Part 249

The PPA is giving a heads-up that they\’ll be needing your help in coming weeks. Apparently, Barney Frank\’s HR 2267 will be coming for a committee mark-up vote.

If I remember correctly, mark-up is where the committee votes yay or nay on moving the bill forward, but everyone, regardless of how they\’re voting, gets to pipe in with what elements they\’ll need to see in it to vote for it on the floor. So you know, maybe some sorta protection for the kids has to be included, or money for the Indians … that kinda thing.
