A Couple of Quick Items

Earth Hour
Don't forget, tonight is the night of "Earth Hour". If you believe in global warming, you are supposed to turn off your lights for one hour starting at 8:30 pm.

On the other hand, if you haven't drunk the kool-aid yet... you might want to consider turning on every light in the house (grin).

GIVE/SAVE ACT
The GIVE/SAVE act (HR 1388) was passed with the language about MANDATORY service removed. HOWEVER, there is an alternative bill being floated (HR 1444) that has the language back in it. Keep an eye on that one.

Universal Health Coverage
Looks like the House voted that this legislation (part of the 2010 budget process) can be "fast tracked". That means that the Senate can pass it with only 51 votes (not the customary 60). Oh well....

Tea Parties

Here's the website that can help you find any of the April 15 Tea Parties that are being planned. We'll be going. I encourage you to go, and take a friend!
