	"Against the Force Bill" (Day 1)
		Her objection is not against the improper modification of a bill acknowledged to be for revenue, but that, under the name of imposts, a power essentially different from the taxing power is exercised - partaking much more of the character of a penalty than a tax.
		While the bill was under consideration, a worthy man, then a Member of the House, moved to except the nonimportation act, which he supported on the ground of encouragement to manufactures.
		The bill violates the Constitution, plainly and palpably, in many of its provisions, by authorizing the President, at his pleasure, to place the different ports of this Union on an unequal footing, contrary to that provision of the Constitution which declares that no preference shall be given to one port over another.

	Bill would force manufacturers to report flaws - State & Local (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		House Bill 3125, known as the Defective Product Disclosure Act, would require manufacturers who are aware of dangerous flaws in their products to immediately inform the proper national authorities.
		The bill would also impose stiff criminal penalties on companies who knowingly violate the law and remove the cap on punitive damages that civil actions against the manufacturers could yield.
		"The bill has broad implication on civil law in Texas, and it undoes the tort reforms that were passed in Texas in 1995 and 1997 specifically, caps on punitive damages and proportionate responsibility," MacDonald said.

		The bill says: "A person does not have a duty to retreat if the person is in a place where he or she has a right to be." A person who uses force in such cases and is not violating another law could not be charged with a crime or sued.
		The bill also says a person has "the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so, to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another."
		He said he opposed the bill because it would "dramatically change" law by giving people who are attacked the right to use deadly force in a public place without fear of civil or criminal prosecution.

	Air Force Times - Bill would allow ending cell phone contracts
		The bill, S 3998, would modify the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act that already lets troops break leases for housing and personal vehicles in such circumstances.
		Under the bill, a service member or the member’s spouse could cancel a cell phone contract without paying a termination fee if the member is mobilized for 90 days or more, or transferred overseas to a U.S. duty station where their phone service will not work or cannot be provided at the same monthly rate.
		Saying he is trying to be fair to telecommunications companies, Feingold noted that one provision of his bill would require the return of any cell phones given to a person as part of a contract, but the customer would have the option of paying a pro-rated amount to keep the phone.

	Columbia Missourian - Deadly force bill progresses to final House vote
		Missourians already are allowed to use deadly force when they “reasonably believe” it’s necessary for self-protection or to prevent a home trespasser from committing arson, burglary or physical violence against someone else.
		The bill would remove the need for residents using deadly force to have a reasonable belief of impending harm or burglary when a person “unlawfully enters” their dwelling or vehicle, or tries to do so.
		People who use deadly force in such circumstances could not face criminal prosecution or lawsuits, according to the bill, which drew support from the National Rifle Association’s No. 2 ranking official during a Capitol rally earlier this year.

		Supporters of the bill had touted it as a way not only to protect the rights of those who are assaulted, but a measure meant to deter crime.
		Opponents of the bill warned during debate on the issue that it will lead to a "wild west" atmosphere in Florida, where gun-toting people in public places will have shootouts because they can.

	Force Bill Primer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The so-called Civil Rights' Acts are not only misnamed, but have forced the American People into thirty years of virtual slavery in their own country, laid waste to the country's borders, ruined jobs, neighborhoods, schools and courts, shattered fundamental liberties, destroyed the ecomony and plunged the land into social chaos.
		The Force Bills are, actually, unconstitutional, because they conflict with the basic freedoms of speech, contract and due process guaranteed by the founding charter.
		Modern-day stalwarts in the fight against the Force Bills such as Marie Johnson (Texas Housing Heroine), L. Smith (Vietnam War veteran hero), James Jones (defender of the Seventh Amendment during the Los Angeles Riots) and Kevin Byron (South Boston Re-Americanization Champion) should be recognized for their sacrifices and lauded for their courage and inspiration.

		The bill, sought by many manufacturers and their insurers, would end decades of lawsuits that have bankrupted more than 70 businesses.

		The bill's supporters said the challenge was a thinly veiled effort to kill the measure without drawing blame in a midterm election year.

		Bob Letourneau, R-Derry, argued unsuccessfully that self defense is a natural right and people who use deadly force to protect themselves should not have to defend their actions in a courtroom.

		The bill extends Georgians' right to use deadly force to defend themselves, now restricted to a person's home and car, to public places such as parks, sidewalks and parking lots.
		Champions of the bill argue that Georgians should have a right to defend themselves in public as well as at home, and dismissed charges that the measure will lead to gunbattles in the streets.

	Tort reform boils down to task force bill, Gazette, 3-27-04
		ANNAPOLIS -- With the governor's malpractice tort reform bill dead in the Senate, House leaders revealed this week that a simple task force bill is the only proposal left standing after the contentious battle between doctors and lawyers over escalating medical malpractice insurance rates.
		House committees are expected to amend the task force bill to include several moderate reforms, such as mandating mediation in malpractice cases, before voting on the bill today.
		But Brown warned the committees against appending either one of those reforms to the task force bill, given the likelihood of an inhospitable reception in either the Senate or governor's office.

	U-WIRE.com/Ohio bill could force universities to expel student protesters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The bill would require all state-funded universities to immediately expel any student convicted of "rioting" or "failure to disperse." The state would deny financial aid to individuals for two years and other state-funded universities would be prohibited from admitting the convicted individual for one year.
		Although some argue the bill can discourage students from becoming involved in political activism, the denial of financial aid also is considered controversial.
		Because the bill denies students' financial aid, some argue the provision is discriminatory against certain economic classes.

	Notes on America, No. 1: The Unforced Force Bill
		The Federal Elections Bill of 1890 was an attempt by pro-civil rights Republicans in Congress to establish federal supervision of elections to ensure the voting rights of African Americans in the south.
		The bill was the last in a series of unrelated bills brought before Congress in the 19th century that bore the nickname "force bill" because they authorized the use of military power to enforce federal law.
		The memory of the failed Force Bill hovered over the congressional elections of 1892, helping Democrats regain control of Congress and paving the way for southern Democrats to enact a racial caste system that would deny basic civil rights to southern fls well into the twentieth century.
