The Battle for America!!

OK, boys and girls (either physically or identifying as)... you need to get all your acquaintances together and start a massive letter-writing campaign.  A bill... VERY important to all of us... has been delayed in the House committee... H.R.367 - Hearing Protection Act of 2017... looks like a tactic of " well I did MY part, I can't help it if they won't vote it out of committee..."

Subcommittee Action

• The bill is referred to a subcommittee, and placed on its calendar.
• The bill is carefully studied. The subcommittee may hold hearings to obtain the views of experts, supporters, and opponents.
• The bill is tabled when the subcommittee deems it unwise or unnecessary.
• If changes are needed, the subcommittee will meet to mark up the bill.
• Subcommittee members vote to accept or reject the changes.
• If the subcommittee accepts the bill, the bill is sent back to the full committee for approval or rejection.

02/06/2017 Referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations. 

If it sits without action for much longer, it will be considered "tabled"... which is, in effect, "dead"...  certainly, some bills sit longer, but 30 days is quite a while for "no action"...
