My big question is: Since this was introduced in the 111th Congress, will Ron Paul need to re-introduce this bill in the Spring when the 112th Congress convenes? :confused:

If not, we should start pushing this bill! We need MOAR cosponsors!

Cosponsors:
Rep Duncan, John J., Jr. [TN-2] - 11/18/2010
Rep Jones, Walter B., Jr. [NC-3] - 11/18/2010

Also - I am going to be doing a "legislative tracking" page on my blog for the important bills in the current Congress. You can find that page here: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/blog.php?cp=4

Feel free to suggest any bills that need to be added to that page.

Maybe people are too lazy to look up the content/purpose of the bill. I speak of myself. ;)
