I have a long list because, although a lot of bills will go no where, we want to pray the good bills to have hearings and the bad bills not to have them. Pick a topic to work on, do one a day, or what ever the Lord tells you. More bills will come up. 2148 abortion, 2154 family, 2080 government probably most important.
