Congo Minerals Provision Becomes Part of Financial Bill
NY Times

ya done good, US senate. at least a mini part of the senate added a mini provision to the massively incomprehensible financial regulation bill. small but effective, the provision forces companies (specifically electronic companies) to trace and certify that the materials in their products do not come from the Congo. its just a tiny thing slipped in their, but it should have a good impact on the rebel groups that fund their militias with the money from mining these few minerals and selling them to the US.-and this is just another reason why i don't vote and ally myself with one political party. Sure, I agree with the democrats most of the time, but it was Sam Brownback, a republic from Kansas (of all places) that pushed this little provision into the bill. So today I feel like being a proud republican. tomorrow?? probably not. But for now I'm all about the GOP spirit of Kansas :D
So now the house and the senate just need to get this bill fixed up and coordinated, then hopefully pass it, where ever it needs to be passed- fucked if i know.

Get 'er Done!!!!

Real 'merican hero
