HR 1505 comes up for a floor vote today. It's packaged with 20 other bills.
1505 creates a 100 mile swath on both our northern and southern borders where control of public lands is handed over to the Department of Homeland Security, and the Border Patrol. Both the BP and DHS have said that this bill is far to expansive in it's power grab, and that it's not needed or wanted.
We had a little fun with that at the Bully Pulpit: http://www.mtbullypulpit.org/2012/06/give-me-liberty-or-give-me-death.html
