We shall see if this passes muster in the House in the form its now in. I have my doubts.

Well it would certainly be Ideal if it does! But with how divisive Washington is these days I doubt anything worthwhile will make it through to law.

If I am not mitaken, this act has faced repeated delays due to Republican opposition to the inclusive language. Hopefully that opposition hs been overcome.

The republicans better start getting a clue because many who have registered (Myself included) republicans are getting sick of their garbage.

I don't mind saying that I bailed on the republican party a couple of years ago. One must understand I had Todd Akin for my personal congressional representative, and there was only so much I could take. In the end, when he tried to go outside of this little district, the voters of the state agreed with me.

On the bill, that's fantastic, but I'm still ambiguous about national legislation passing. I think ENDA is the whole enchilada, and other benefits would line right up.
