"HR 811 (The Holt Bill): Time to put us out of its misery
by Nancy Tobi
HR 811 has a long and controversial history. It is embraced primarily by well funded lobbyists, while the general citizenry, election officials, and activists oppose the bill. In the ultimate bait and switch, all carrots dangled in front of activists have been eaten up: full software disclosure is now full nondisclosure. Implementation on key aspects is moved from 2008 to 2010, effectively quashing the "Let's get it straight by 2008" bullshit campaign by MoveOn, Common Cause, VoteTrustUSA, PFAW and other large lobbyists pouring money into passage of this bill (and who is funding those guys anyway???).
Let's kill this thing and put us all out of its misery"
