Congress is Listening

Jordan McCollum wrote today and shared with us that the United States House of Representatives voted today to extend journalists’ legal shield for protecting their sources to advertising-supported bloggers. CNET reports today that after hours of debating the bill, a voice vote in the House indicated clear support for the measure, despite the Bush administration’s opposition. The bill itself has been before Congress for over two months. We share this information with you here just in case your local newspaper or television station hasn't shared the information.

It is important to understand that a Democratically controlled Congress appears to have a different set of issues when it comes to social legislation - some good, some negative. We need to determine what it is we want from our legislature as it relates to our energy policy and let our voices be heard. Someone is always listening!
