How about a Republican and Democrat sponsor this bill? Or are all the Democrats buying into the Borg mentality.
The sponsorship of this bill would be brilliant tactically. The Bush Family, MSM, and some Dems are so far successful casting any dissent as "racist", refusing hearings with economists and other dissenters, expressing shock at the Felony provision which was sponsored not by Republicans but Democrats.
Sponsoring Reid's bill will open up discussion on economic issues.
Also need to keep hitting on the McCain/Bush "jobs that Americans won't do" line.
