BREAKING: Spending bill passes Senate, moves to conference
Friday, 06 November 2009
The federal spending bill that PROTECT has been campaigning on cleared its next-to-last hurdle yesterday, with a 71-28 vote in the Senate. Now the 2010 Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations Act moves to a joint House-Senate conference.
Senate passage removes all remaining obstacles for House and Senate
negotiators to fix problems with funding for America's anti-child
exploitation teams, the ICAC Task Forces (Internet Crimes Against
Children). You can read more about the issue, and PROTECT's campaign, here .
