The Global Poverty Act of 2007 (S.2433) is coming up for a Senate vote sometime after the July 4 recess, according the office of Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. Once Harry Reid and the Democrat leadership put it on the calendar, we could have as little as a week to prepare for the vote.

God damn it. S 2433 and HR 1302 are two different bills. Why do people spread this crap!!!!!!! S 2433 can't have passed the House if it's still in the Senate and the numbers DO NOT CHANGE when they change houses.

So what are you saying? ;-)

Oh well I get a little passionate about legislation. Just in case that didn't come across real well. LOL!

The Global Poverty Act of 2007 (S.2433) is coming up for a Senate vote sometime after the July 4 recess,...

...It passed (H.R. 1302) earlier by a unanimous voice vote in the House.

This is crap. These are two different bills. One passed the House, has been read twice in the Senate (just means it's passing between committees) and is in the Committee on foreign relations. The other has been place on the Senate calendar. The House bill is farther along in the process. The Senate bill must still pass the House if it is to become law.
