Maybe this will help:

The Senate Minimum Wage Bill passed on Thursday, including Amendment 187, which included everything below the double red broken line. Roy Beck says they were aware of it but were working quietly behind the scenes on parliamentary procedures to prevent a floor vote.

Rob Sanchez stumbled across this quite by chance, and notified Roy Beck, copying Norm Froman as well as myself.

((((((((( Amendment 187 is essentially McCain-Kennedy and was sent to the House as an amendment to the House bill. You can bet Nancy Pelosi won't let it gather dust on her desk--she'll ramrod it through at lightning speed. It may reach Jorge Boosh's desk by the end of the week. ))))))

We can tell our children and grandchildren that we lost our country while everyone was busy watching the 2007 Super Bowl.
