There's a decent chance that the economic situation is only going to get worse, and that Our Benevolent Masters are going to have another bailout bill put in front of them, and it's going to pass.

Now.

There was a whole bunch of pork added onto the bill before it passed. Stuff like this:

New Tax earmarks in Bailout bill
- Film and Television Productions (Sec. 502)
- Wooden Arrows designed for use by children (Sec. 503)
- 6 page package of earmarks for litigants in the 1989 Exxon Valdez incident, Alaska (Sec. 504)

Tax earmark “extenders” in the bailout bill.
- Virgin Island and Puerto Rican Rum (Section 308)
- American Samoa (Sec. 309)
- Mine Rescue Teams (Sec. 310)
- Mine Safety Equipment (Sec. 311)
- Domestic Production Activities in Puerto Rico (Sec. 312)
- Indian Tribes (Sec. 314, 315)
- Railroads (Sec. 316)
- Auto Racing Tracks (317)
- District of Columbia (Sec. 322)
- Wool Research (Sec. 325)

Most of it wasn't read at all before it passed. IMHO, we lost an opportunity.

Now, in the next one, how about we add a section (written by me):

SECTION 429. TOOL AND DIE MANUFACTURERS.
1. In 18-922, striking section (o).
2. In 18-922, striking section (r).

Or some variation. They won't even read it before voting on it. Bush certainly won't read it. They didn't last time. Get someone to slip it in at the last minute before printing, or have a midnight voice vote like last time. We just need a Congresscritter crazy enough to do it.

And before anyone asks, I'm completely serious.

Nice

So who would we get to put it in there?

[Uriel999]

I'm not sure how this would work. explain please.

Basically, follow the same procedure to insert this as they did to insert "wooden arrows" legislation. Hide it under something like "tool and die manufacturers". Follow the existing amendment procedures, and don't ever refer to it being about firearms.

I'm almost positive there's going to be a Christmas "stimulus" package that we could get this tacked onto.

I would look at the House members for Idaho and Montana in addition to Ron Paul, but anything that Paul proposes will be scrutinized.

[JoshLowry]

That would be awesome.

They don't allow just random amendments to these things, they have "bipartisan" committees in back rooms writing all the additional crap based on specific votes they're trying to turn.
