    LAME NOW, 111TH CONGRESS ACCOMPLISHED A FEW THINGS. BY SAMMY J.MARQUEZ DE LEON

    THIS ARTICLE LOOKS AT ALL THE LAWS THE 111TH CONGRESS PASSED. ONE STATEMENT TALKS ABOUT THE LAW HR NUMBERS 23962 AND 4872 THAT PASSED MAJOR HEALTH CARE REFORM THIS LAW SAYS THAT CHILDS WHO DOESENT HAVE A MEDICAL INSSURANCE TO HAS BENEFFITS FROM THEYR MOM'S INSSURANCE UNTIL THEY 28. I PERSONALLY THINK THAT THIS LAW WOULD BE REALLY GOOD BECAUSE IT WOULD HELP A LOT THIS MOMS AND THEIR CHILDREN, AND IT WILL ALSO PROVIDE A BETTER LIFE TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO QUALIFY FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

    In the article that I read the congress heads into a lame-duck session. This talks about the things they did get done. They passed some laws and now I know it is really hard to pass a bill and make it a law. HR-1722 lets people work on computers at home instead of going to the office or something. I think this is a good idea because people still get money even though they are at home. I think it might get boring and lonely to work at home without your friends.

    LAME NOW,111TH CONGRESS ACCOMPLISHED A FEW THINGS

    This article is about the laws passed in the United States during 111th Congress. It is too hard to make the bill into a law and some people don't want to change, some people want to kill a bill, some people want to pigeonhole it. It seems like they actually passed a lot of lawas. One law they made was HR-1722 The Telework Enhancement. This is a good idea because some peop;le don't need to travel to get their work done, but it's like dangerous too because they might spy on you at home.

    They had a new law call lame-duck. One of the law called HR-4173 it is you may buy a car, houses and also you can borrow money from goverment.You should have your own credit cards.
    HR number 23962 and 4872 is about health care. This new law is....will cover your medicate till your 26. The another law is HR-1722 it is you don't need to go to work and sit in your office.You can just stay at home and work on your computer.

    I thinks these are a very good law. I likes all of Americans law. I agree with every laws...

    Lame Now, 111th Congress Acomplished A Few Things

    The article talk about this 111th congress heads in to its lame duck session to face remaining business.
    HR numbers 23962and 4872passed major health care form. though who knows what the 112th congress in store .
    HR-4213 extended unempolyment benefits ,until this comming Tuesday at any rate.
    I think these two accomplished are the best.
    Because a lot of people lose their job and can't get a new job soon.So we have income problem for health care and other stuff.

    This talks about the bills that turn into laws for the 111th Congress. We learn how hard it is to get bills passes so I think they did kind of a lot! I think HR-4213 extended unemployment benefits i thing this is a good idea to have this law because it will help people a lot about who donlt have a job who they will take care with money like help people for place food that is i good idea. people who donlt have a job cannnot find a job they will don't have to worry stay life. but i don't mean people are lazy one day when they can find job they have to live by them self.

    It is really hard for Congress to pass laws. One law passed HR-23962 it was health car reform. We think this is a good law because it take care of people and health is the most important thing for a person.

    It is super hard for a bill to become a law. This Congress didn't pass too many, but it is because it is so hard. One bill they passed was HR-4213 extended unemployment benefits. I think this is good because if you lose your job with that money you can spend more time find a job and don't worry so much about the money.

    This article is about how a bill pass a law. It is not easy to pass the law. Host Liane Hansen rattles off a few of the legislative iteams that have passed muster during the tenure of the 111th Congress. These people who pass the law are HR-1, HR-4173, HR-4213, HR-23962 and 4872, HR-1722, and HR-5566. I think these people are real good at their work. They can even pass the law.

  13. In New York democratic representative Tim Bishop won the re-election in New York's 1st district. Republican Randy Alstchuler concedes this morning according to the Spin cycle, one of the more popular news papers, with a 263-vote lead out of 194000 vote cast.Altschuler said he has dropped his legal challenges to the remaining uncounted absentees.
    I like the fact that a democrat is still in office although north carolina is now being ran by republicans.

  14. I read about the reactions to President Obama's tax cut for the wealthy. A lot of his democratic followers are now turning aginst him, saying that he is giving in to extending the Bush-era tax credits. Many democrats and republicans alike are enraged with his choice to give tax cuts to the wealthy, even though he extended the unemployed benefits. I feel that there might just be too much pressure put on Mr. President. Its a hard choice to make, chosing tax cuts for the lower-middle class, and getting rid of the unemployed benefits. I do think he made the right choice though. The economy is so bad right now, the unemployed need all the help they can get!

    TODAY I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT HOW CONGRESS IS TRYING TO SET BACK THE TAX CUT FOR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REASONS. I DONT REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I DONT PAY TAXES. BUT THIS DOES MEAN THAT THE WEALTHY PEOPLE OF AMERICA DOESNT HAVE TO PAY AS MUCH TAXES AS IF THE REGULAR PEOPLE WOULD. THEN EVERYTHING GOES UP BESIDES PEOPLES SALARYS.
