Let me tease you a little before I blurt it out. I'm a major proponent for IT since I could remember. When I was young, I couldn't understand why this no-brainer idea was having such an opposition to IT. IT was introduced, but never ratified.
Now I sit here and hold my breath. Could it be that we'll finally see IT? There will be opposition to IT, especially from groups like the Concerned Women for America. We've progressed, haven't we, we can get this passed and move forward, right? Still I hold my breath.
IT is House Joint Resolution 40 and Senate Joint Resolution 10, introduced March 27, 2007.
Currently it's sitting in the office of the Committee on Judiciary. It will have a long way to go, it must get past committee first. My heart is pounding, I'll hold my breath and keep my fingers crossed. Maybe, just maybe, it's time.
