It's not like the text is going to do anything other than enrage you anyway. SS different day. These idiots are as delusional beyond my wildest imagination. I don't even want to read this version, otherwise my blood pressure will rise off the charts. I can almost guess what's in it and prefer to spend this day faxing, emailing and phoning. I'm beginning to find it very therapeutic.

Sure, it's in Thomas. It's supposed to be over 1,000 pages.

Just go to the links, in Thomas, for whichever section you want, and the text pops up. Since I had earlier checked Title 1, Section 113 on 1348, I put that section on one window, and the same from S. 330, they are identical.

That does NOT mean there won't be changes or additions.

OK!

PDF is available so everyone should pull it for their files.

Instructions:
on the upper left there's a thing GPO or something like that.
Click it and continue on for the PDF
Save it

LETS HAVE A SHREDDING PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Something's wrong here............only 228 pages.

ARE THE AMENDMENTS IN THE WINGS??
making up the 1000 pages?????

The differences between 1348,1645 is they dress this up in put lipstick on it; with enforcement wording. Like Bush is going to allow that. I wish Ducan hunter would add a piece--which says that if president doe's not enforce enforcement parts of this bill he is forced to step down.
