I donıt think I have to convince this crowd that itıs laborious to parse
text from a PDF, but thatıs what Sunlight Labs did today at a feverish
pace.
In order to facilitate a conversation about the specifics of the Senate's
new proposed bailout legislation (included within a 451-page document filled
with additional provisions), we're parsing the bill's text, and have
completed the first part, "Division A: the Emergency Economic Stabilization
Act of 2008," posted on PublicMarkup.org at
<http://www.publicmarkup.org/bill/senate-emergency-economic-stabilizat...
t-2008/> for your review and commentary.
As I understand it, theyıre voting on the bill tonight. Thatıs just hours
from the time they posted the bill online. Now, more than ever, we need to
tell Congress to give us the time to <http://ReadTheBillFirst.org/>
Dig in!
