It's hard not to notice the "All-Seeing Eye of Horus" at the top of the "govtrack.us" page you linked.

It's enough to remind a person of just who is tracking WHOM. We darn sure better be tracking their actions, because it goes without saying that they are tracking us however they can.

Thanks, BTW..

I really think he was being sarcastic. At least that’s how I read it.

But I know what you mean about being in “the wrong mood.” In fact, I think I’ll pick some lemons from our tree and make some lemonade.

Well said :)

I appreciate it, but I don't think anybody realizes how much I loathe reading things like that, much less writing it.

A good number of us do, rest assured.

[Las Vegas Ron]

This is a perfect opportunity to try out what is I'm sure by now, huge, ping list {;^)

. I did manage to see on page. 258 lines 7-11, the appropriations of 100,000,000 for the year 2010, and after that 2011-2014 “such sums as may be necessary for each fiscal year”.

So if participants are “volunteering”, why then, should it cost $100,000,000 a year?

[joygrace]

Ok. I will give it a try. I wasn’t sure to “PING” on individual Posts but with your encouragement I will Ping.

I thought Pinging was to alert people to new Threads. I don’t want to over abuse “The Ping.”

Thank you. Stay tuned.

Has the Amtrak Waste disposal disappared from the bill? I don’t see it anymore. But, I’m also having trouble with the site from time to time.

---

-Take note of the Miscellaneous Section (Title VI) of the Bill. Very Strange!!!

-Sec. 601. Amtrak waste disposal. -Sec. 602. Exchange program with countries in transition from totalitarianism to Democracy.

I would not think so.

But you can rest assured that the money will go inti the Democrats’s pockets.

[Las Vegas Ron]

I have to give you much credit, you have been tireless on this thread....I think pings are ok for updates too, especially threads that are as active as this one still is :)

The HR 1388 Bill, “The Give” Act Ping List

If you want on (or off) the *PING* List, post on this thread or FReepMail me please.

[joygrace]

Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate your heads up too.

I hope we can create some noise tomorrow maybe with Congress and Talk Radio.

I know we need to PUSH Back on this Budget fiasco too but I am not sure when that Bill hit the Floor. Soon.

[Travis McGee]

This thread is reminding me very much of things which a good many of us have read in the book "Enemies Foreign and Domestic".

And that's why I wrote it.

[Las Vegas Ron]

You'll want to include, especially on this kind of ping, why you are pinging FReepers...let us know it's an important up date or what the ping is about.<

I'm not a “ping” expert but after the time I've been here, that has been my observation

Good job and kudos for all of your efforts.

[joygrace]

You are right.

I don’t want to bug everyone again by correcting the Ping.

Please see POST 975 “FOR BREAKING NEWS” Update.

Sorry for the confusion.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Hey Travis, would you add me to your CCII ping list please?

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I guess the 13th Amendment doesn’t matter in our living, breathing Constitution.

PING!

[Babsig]
