The report didn't get specific, but it did mention trade.

What was excluded specifically? If the pages excluded were the ones that specified the excesses that Bush objected to, then maybe he _should_ have signed it! In that case - he and his staff _were_ remiss in not checking out the bill. Then it would have left Congress in a ditch because after the bill was signed, it would be too late to add to it...I don't think the "but you missed these 40 pages" would work to get them included. But then...I don't know what was included and what was excluded... Actually…I've wondered about this. What was excluded specifically?

I of course downloaded them in the pre-Youtube era. I only bought my absolute favorites since they are $1.99 each. Guess I'm glad I held out on getting them all. I know its a long shot because I don't think enough people will muster enough outrage to write one more letter. Does anyone have the list of the Republicans that voted for it the first time?

There's still time to turn around on this. I believe that if the entire contingent stands together, the House won't be able to override the veto. BUt if you saw a post of mine from last night involving Rep. McCotter, I don't know that's likely to happen. I did know about iTunes. There are copies also apparently available on YouTube for the viewing as well. I own the whole thing on CD, in audio version only also. Kind of cool to ride down the road singing "Conjunction Junction". Most definitely, Lori. There's still time to turn around on this.

PS- You know you can download all those school house rock vid's from iTunes? Does this mean we actually have a chance of stopping it if we get enough people to scream at Republicans?
