Hilzoy does us all a service by showing which bills and amendments John McCain and Barack Obama have introduced in the 109th and 110th congresses. There’s some serious stuff in here. But also some somewhat wacky stuff. For example, who knew John McCain was such a Cesar Chavez fan?
327: A bill to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a special resource study of sites associated with the life of Cesar Estrada Chavez and the farm labor movement.
Too bad McCain never seems inclined to express his admiration for the late labor leader by supporting any pro-labor legislation. Also — pedantry:
S.AMDT.1438 to S.1042: To redesignate the Naval Reserve as the Navy Reserve.
I think I liked “Naval Reserve” better.
