Talk:Senate career of John McCain, 2001–present

[edit] Indian bill should be included

I believe that a this article should be amended in the following manner:

-Inclusion of proposed Senate bill 1003 (The Navajo Hopi Land Settlement Act of 1974 Amendments), introduced by John McCain in 2005. While this legislation never passed, I think it worth including in the article, as it was introduced by the senator.

I first heard about the bill via Black Mesa Indigenous Support (http://blackmesais.org/McCain_bill0805.htm). Regrettably, it's not exactly a balanced source.

I can't seem to find a balanced source with sufficient information apart from the following, though. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s109-1003 (a summary of the bill) and http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:s1003: (containing full contents of bill)

Any additional encyclopedic-quality material would be appreciated apart from congressional materials in building this proposed edit of this particular wiki page.

I do believe that this page is incomplete, and a discussion on the other pieces of legislation he may have introduced or cosponsored are also worth including. JackCanada (talk) 06:29, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

A description of this bill may indeed be worth including, but as you say, it needs a third-party press story that gives some indication as to both sides of the issue and of its level of importance. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:20, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
