http://matthewhurtt.com "You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We'll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we'll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness." - Ronald Reagan Sat, 13 Mar 2010 07:42:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 http://matthewhurtt.com/kerry-roberts-campaign-kick-of/comment-page-1/#comment-6435 Matthew Sat, 13 Mar 2010 07:42:40 +0000 http://matthewhurtt.com/?p=1853#comment-6435 In fact, I'd encourage you to check out http://www.kerryroberts.com just to re-read his life story again.

If you listen to Roberts tell the story, he says that church elders advised him against declaring bankruptcy. It's a pretty inspirational story, to tell the truth. He told it to me again today at Union Station in D.C. And it certainly sets him apart from all the other candidates - he's had to live within a budget (unlike a certain two state senators), and he's been all the way to the bottom and rebounded from that to become the president of the National Bicycle Dealers' Association. Not to mention he's a CPA, so not only does he balance his own checkbook, but he also balances other folks' checkbook, as well. It's a pretty inspiring story. I'm glad you brought it to our attention. Actually, no it isn’t. If you listen to Roberts tell the story, he says that church elders advised him against declaring bankruptcy.

If a bill gets amended in committee, then passes the committee, the adopted amendments become "committee amendments" and the committee Chair signs them. If their are additional amendments offered on the floor, those may come from other members. Tracy may also turn the floor handling of an amendment over to its original sponsor. But technically, he's correct. Tracy is right. If a bill gets amended in committee, then passes the committee, the adopted amendments become “committee amendments” and the committee Chair signs them.
