I put this under Academia, because the American people urgently need to know what our lovely Congress has done to us, yet again!

On Saturday, Harry Reed called a special session of the Senate to vote on this bill. Within a moment of opening the session, he called for cloture vote on it. What did that do? It prevented a filabuster from those who opposed it, guaranteeing that it would pass. Within two hours, SURPRISE! They had voted on it and passed it. The President says he will sign it, yet the White House has stated that the signing of this bill won’t be done in a ceremony. It will be done in private. ** Of course it will be! It’s Election Year! Don’t give the American People a chance to run their government! We know what’s best for them!

Update 07/30/2008: The President signed it this morning at 7:31 A.M. on July 29. 2008. Oh Yes, He also had the Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Housing Secretary Steve Preston awake with him! Why didn’t you have the Security Advisor, Mr. President, since it included tracking transactions of every American Citizens? Coward! Thanks again, Harry Reed, Nancy Pelosi and George Bush! One more lost right.

Question? Why are they being so quick to get it passed secretively? Answer: They don’t want the American people to see it for what it really is – just like what they tried to pass as the “Immigration” bill. The American people were able to find all the crap in that one and get it stopped by the skin of our teeth.

Harry Reed learned from his mistakes, and this time tried a different tactic. Harry Reed figured out a way to get it passed – Unethical – ABSOLUTELY! Illegal what he did – NO! WIll the ethics committee do anything? NOT LIKELY! They never do!

So what’s in this bill? It started out as an Energy bill. It was cleverly rewritten as a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It’s bad enough they are lying – that’s what they do best. The worst part is the last 60 pages or so of the bill, they are now becoming the American Gestapo!

So, exactly WHO ARE the terrorists that Washington feels they need to track? Seems the worst of them are in Washington!
