This whining about the pdf format is BEE ESS. I’ve been searching and copying sections out of the two documents posted online all day. You just have to use Foxit rather than that worthless POS from Adobe. The text view (OCR) isn’t perfect but it’s pretty darned good.

The “whining” is over the fact that the current version - and this the version that is being VOTED on - is largely non-searchable.

You have to just sit down and read the whole thing: no targeted reading, no finding key parts based on searches.

It is a format that makes it as hard for someone to really know what’s going on as one can make it.

I think we need to really dig into this bill tonight. Unfortunately I have a party starting in a few minutes but let me offer a suggestion.

Let's start a thread on the pork filled earmarks and most outrageous items buried in this bill.

So each Freeper should download the bill and start at different parts. So I suggest you take your birthday and start at that page. For example if you BD is the fourth of July start at page 704. Everybody do 10 pages.

this will spread everybody out. Then post your findings in one place (there will be overlap but that will be good).

Maybe someone can start a top 10 list. Each earmark is an Obama lie.

Get going Freepers. This is bigger than bringing down Dan Rather.
