Actually, it is not dead yet, and won't be dead until Congress ends for the year. I've already sent e-mails to my rep, to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and to Majority Leader Steny Hoyer urging them not to pass this legislation.

Colleen Doran always has insightful views on these topics. Here is a link to her comments on this:
