It is about time for some movement on the federal level. Someone needs to start a e-mailer to spam their congress people with.

Barney Frank introduced this bill. It is still in the early phases so still time for it to die, but not to late to make some noise.

Ron Paul working with Barney Wank is sort of like Hank Williams jamming with Liberace. The tunes may sound good, but no one is going to buy it.
