Not Al, SEPP.
And it might very well have been in the bill at the time SEPP wrote that.
The Bill changed so often who could keep up with it as it was rushed through the
house?
So, if the bill was that important and the Senate wouldn't look at it for months
anyway, the only reason for the Pelosie/Waxman rush was to avoid discussion and
to not let the American people know what they were pushing.
The House is now just mob rule.
