Congressmen, do the right thing and let this bill die! Remember 1994 and what happen to those in office at the time this bill became law for 10 years. Ask Tom Foley, speaker of the House, at that time. I believe his quote was, if we vote for this, we will lose the House of Representatives, to the opposing party.

I was a republican PCO during the 2000 election year. I doorbelled for Bush. I worked phone banks. I stood on a busy streetcorner in the cold with my signs and wearing a bright orange monk costume the morning of the general election.
But as much as I like Bush and the way he's served as a military leader, I will do nothing to help him in the upcoming elections. And I won't vote for him.
There's one way and only one way to get my vote back. He needs to DO NOTHING, and let this bill die in the house. He shouldn't need to veto it. He shouldn't need to crusade against it. But at this point in time, I have no reason to believe that he's going to passively let this law sunset. Past experience leads me to believe that he's going to actively campaign to get votes in the house for an extension.
If he proves me wrong by DOING NOTHING and letting the law sunset, I'll vote for him again. I doubt that's going to happen, which is deeply dissapointing.
