[edit] Let's put the important stuff in

The "migratory bird act"?!?! Yet the "permanent appropriation act" of 1929 that capped the house membership at 435 members till death do us part; the legislation that did away with all the rules concerning district populations, sizes and shapes and allowed the disenfranchisement of minorities is not mentioned. The apportionment act of 1929 has to be the most horendous assault on the meaning of the United States if America I have ever seen. Yet we see the @)#&*#%*#^ "Migratory bird act" as a major piece of legislation and not a peep about this REPUBLICAN assault on America. I am of the opinion that this one single act is the major contributor to Congressional stagnation in the United States and the major reason for our current "out of control" government. This is NOT a neutral point of view. And it is somewhat _original research_. But I will only place the FACT of this legislation in the "Major legislation" section of the main article. Surely THAT is not taboo. --The Trucker (talk) 06:21, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
