I am indeed blaming the specific Republicans that brought and co-sponsored HR 258 into Congress for what it contains. Absolutely. The main writer is Rep. Joe Pitts (Republican-PA).

Im sure you will say this has the doing of the Republicans even though this is Obama's doing. I know it has nothing to do with Egypt. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110213/...ma_pell_grants |

'The first proposal would end the "year-round Pell" policy that let students collect two grants in a calendar year, with the second grant used for summer school. The official said the costs exceeded expectations and there was little evidence that students earn their degrees any faster. The change would save $8 billion next year and $60 billion over a decade, the official said.' the govt also needs to consider putting funding towards kids choosing to learn a trade, rather than pushing everyone to go to college. we're facing a shortage of plumbers, electricians, auto mechanics and hvac techs. happy to see that the gi bill will now pay for vo-tech schooling for vets.

Did I say introducing a bill is make believe? You only want to see whatever you want to. You speak so highly of the Democrats all the time. Are they a perfect political party? We dont need to mention Charlie Rangel. You mention the Republican who did the honorable thing and resigned. The last time I looked good old Charlie was still serving in DC. What happened to Pelosi's bs talk about ethics? I guess it is ok for Rangel not to pay taxes for all these years.

H.R. 258: To require the Office of Management and Budget to prepare a crosscut budget for restoration... 112th CongressThis is a bill in the U.S. Congress originating in the House of Representatives ("H.R."). A bill must be passed by both the House and Senate and then be signed by the President before it becomes law. Bill numbers restart from 1 every two years. Each two-year cycle is called a session of Congress. This bill was created in the 112th Congress, in 2011-2012. The titles of bills are written by the bill's sponsor and are a part of the legislation itself. GovTrack does not editorialize bill summaries. 2011-2012 Track H.R. 258 This feed includes all major activity on this bill and its amendments, references in the Congressional Record, and relevant upcoming committee meetings. Preview Feed > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Primary Source See H.R. 258 on THOMAS for the official source of information on this bill or resolution. To require the Office of Management and Budget to prepare a crosscut budget for restoration activities in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, to require the Environmental Protection Agency to develop and implement an adaptive management plan, and for other purposes. Overview Sponsor: Rep. Rob Wittman [R-VA1](no cosponsors) Cosponsors: Text: Full Text Status: Introduced Jan 7, 2011 Referred to Committee View Committee Assignments Reported by Committee ... House Vote ... Senate Vote ... Signed by President ... This bill is in the first step in the legislative process. Introduced bills and resolutions first go to committees that deliberate, investigate, and revise them before they go to general debate. The majority of bills and resolutions never make it out of committee. [Last Updated: Jan 8, 2011 6:25AM] Last Action: Jan 7, 2011: Referred to House Transportation and Infrastructure Related: See the Related Legislation page for other bills related to this one and a list of subject terms that have been applied to this bill. Sometimes the text of one bill or resolution is incorporated into another, and in those cases the original bill or resolution, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h112-258

![]() ![]() BTW if a clause is in there stating a hospital refusing treatment to a dying woman, in an emergency, if part of that treatment terminates a pregnancy, is legal, it's embarrassing. Though I suspect this is some sort of huffington hyperbole based on exemptions for catholic hospitals.

Just read the bill (it's short) and low and behold my suspicions were correct. I will take it over to the appropriate thread.

I did as you always request before being requested and opened a new thread. And yes they were correct.

[quote]Facesmack - my error. Try HR 358 Google: "Pitts Abortion 2011" for articles on it.
Edit: and also, this bill retains the horrible term forcible rape - rather than just rape. I guess if you are not bruised and battered, it's not rape. That term was what caused the one bill that has already been pulled, to have been pulled. (there have been three separate bills entered into this congress about abortion so far)
