Pending Bills!

Bills:

  • HR: 2865: 9/11 Memorial Cross National Monument Establishment Act of 2011
    • status: Referred to a Committee
    • purpose: to erect a cross memorial at the National 9/11 Memorial Museum
    • reason of picking: At first i thought it was a cool bill to memorialize 9/11, but I soon realized it could be offensive to victim's families because of the cross and how it can represent a religious purpose.
  • HR: 3261: Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)
    • status: Referred to a committee
    • purpose: to prevent theft of US online property
    • reason for picking: I dislike the bill, not the piracy part, just the fact that piracy is almost how the internet runs, and the pirates are everyday people some doing it unknowingly.
  • S:1108: 10 Million dollar Solar Roofs Act of 2011
    • status: Referred to a Committee
    • purpose: to get the tools necessary for the production/ use of solar panels to local communities.
    • reasons for picking: I love this bill! The idea of providing solar energies to communities around America is cool, reducing our carbon foot print little by little!
