Moving toward approval...

To start, the lede needs to say, positively, what it was, as opposed to what it was called by its detractors. You do explain abominations in the third-from-last paragraph; perhaps some of this text needs to move up.

Should anything be sourced? It does seem clear there was a bill. Did it pass? What was the legislative history?

The article needs a Definition. --Howard C. Berkowitz 21:34, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the eyes!! I'll get on it. Russell D. Jones 21:42, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
