The "Antibullying Campaign Act" and other Democrat policy initiatives
Wall Street JournalDemocrats charge that the Republican Congress has accomplished nothing, or only given handouts to the wealthy. So the Republican Study Group, a conservative caucus, compiled a list of legislation that Democrats introduced during the 109th Congress. The list (at www.house.gov/pence/rsc) includes items like the "Social Security Forever Act," which would impose a new income tax, in addition to FICA, on workers and employers. Democrats also sponsored the proposed "Justice for the Unprotected Against Sexually Transmitted Infections Among the Confined and Exposed Act," a "Crack-Cocaine Equitable Sentencing Act," the "Antibullying Campaign Act," the "Ex-Offenders Voting Rights Act" and legislation to make Medicare and Medicaid cover "incontinence undergarments." Also on Democrats' agendas: bills to establish a National Archives collection of government records concerning rapper Tupac Shakur and a new U.S. Department of Peace and Nonviolence. It's all conceivable. In fact, an energetic Democratic Congress might accomplish all of those things, and much more. Posted by: Mike 2006-10-20 |
