Direct Marketers Want Anti-spam Laws | CNET News.com
Direct marketers want antispam laws By Declan McCullagh Staff Monday that unsolicitede-mail has become so noxious the majority of anti-spam bills in Congress
http://news.com.com/2100-1023-962821.html

Extractions: The Direct Marketing Association said Monday that unsolicited e-mail has become so noxious that a federal anti-spam law is finally necessary. Until now, the DMA has opposed the majority of anti-spam bills in Congress or offered only lukewarm support. But the ever-rising tide of junk e-mail has made the influential trade association rethink its stand. "Even legitimate business' messages are not being looked at because of the get-rich-quick schemes and pornography and so forth," Jerry Cerasale, the DMA's vice president for government affairs, said in a telephone interview Monday afternoon. The DMA's change of heart, which comes as the group meets in San Francisco for its 85th annual convention this week, means that a sizable obstacle to federal legislation has vanished. The DMA, along with its allies at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Retail Federation, have previously scuttled some anti-spam laws from being enacted by Congress.

How to Use the Legislative Research Council Web Site to Research Legislative Issues General Guidelines You can use the Legislative Research Council (LRC) web site to research and compile the history of bills introduced in 1997 or later. For bills introduced in 1996 or earlier, you must rely on printed legislative materials and microfilm. If you need assistance compiling older documents, contact Clare Cholik, Senior Research Analyst, at (605) 773-3251 or clare.cholik@state.sd.us The LRC will keep legislative information dating back to 1997 on the web site for as long as possible. Eventually, however, data storage restraints will require the gradual removal of the information from the earliest years. When that happens, the information will still be available on CD-ROM at libraries across the state or by contacting the LRC. In South Dakota, the legislative history of a bill generally consists of the following components. The bill in its original form;

They also identify and sometimes compile the texts of documents that are the result of action taken as a bill goes through each stage of the legislative process. Legislative history materials may also help researchers determine the legislative intent behind a law.

Student Congress is the legislative branch of Student Government at UNC Chapel Hill. Student Congress represents the student body by serving as a voice of the students, by allocating a portion of the student activities fees, and by writing, amending, and preserving the student laws contained in the student government code. Student Congress also creates and maintains a dialogue between students and the University administration, thus representing student opinion in decisions that affect students. Who Serves in Student Congress? Student Congress is comprised of 37 student representatives, both undergraduate and graduate, elected from 23 districts. Led by a Speaker, Congress members belong to one of three standing committees: Finance, Rules and Judiciary, and Student Affairs. Five members also serve on the Ethics Committee, which is considered a special standing committee. How Does Student Congress Work?

UNC-CH Government Relations: The Legislative Process
Enactment of a Bill in the United State Congress The process by which bills becomelaws is similar to that followed by the North Carolina Legislature.
http://www.unc.edu/govrel/legisprocess.html

Extractions: For most North Carolinians, the process for developing new laws is complex and difficult to follow. Yet understanding the system is critical to effective advocacy. The legislative process defines the ways in which bills may be introduced, debated and passed, so the more familiar you are with the process, the better prepared you will be to effectively propose, support or oppose legislation. Topics You'll Find on This Page: The North Carolina Legislature North Carolina has a legislature composed of two houses the Senate and the House of Representatives. This is called a bicameral legislature, meaning that it consists of two chambers. The North Carolina Legislature is also known as the General Assembly. It meets in regular session in odd-numbered years (1999, 2001, 2003, etc.) beginning at noon on the third Wednesday following the second Monday in January. In even-numbered years, the General Assembly convenes its second regular session in May or early June for approximately two months. The primary reason for holding the "short session" as it is often called is to make adjustments in the budget for the second year of the biennium (two-year session) and to complete action on matters that were still pending when the first regular session adjourned.

Extractions: On behalf on the National Rifle Association (NRA), I would like to thank Governor Bill Richardson for signing Senate Bill 23 into law, making New Mexico the 34th state in the Union to grant law-abiding citizens the right to carry firearms for personal protection and for protection of their loved ones. H.R. 1036, the NRA-backed reckless lawsuit preemption legislation, has been scheduled for a vote this Wednesday, April 9 by the full U.S. House of Representatives. This critical reform seeks to put an end to the efforts of anti-gun extremists to drive law-abiding gun manufacturers into bankruptcy with their tactic of filing endless predatory lawsuits that have no merit. The National Rifle Association today announced its support for the lawsuit filed by five Washington D.C. residents in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (D.C.), to vindicate the rights of D.C. residents to exercise the same rights held by American citizens in every State in the Union to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.
