Just a Little Research

There goes our First Amendment Rights...

S.AMDT.591 to S.160 To encourage and promote diversity in communication media ownership, and to ensure that the public airwaves are used in the public interest. Sponsor: Sen Durbin, Richard [IL] (introduced 2/26/2009) Cosponsors (None) Latest Major Action: 2/26/2009 Senate amendment agreed to. Status: Amendment SA 591 agreed to in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 57 - 41. Record Vote Number: 70.

There goes our Second Amendment Rights...

H.R.45 Title: To provide for the implementation of a system of licensing for purchasers of certain firearms and for a record of sale system for those firearms, and for other purposes. Sponsor: Rep Rush, Bobby L. [IL-1] (introduced 1/6/2009) Cosponsors (None) Latest Major Action: 2/9/2009 Referred to House subcommittee. Status: Referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security.

And my personal favorite...

H.J.RES.5 : Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President.Sponsor: Rep Serrano, Jose E. [NY-16] (introduced 1/6/2009) Cosponsors (None) Committees: House Judiciary Latest Major Action: 2/9/2009 Referred to House subcommittee. Status: Referred to the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties.

I found all this information on the official Senate and House websites, so it is 100% legitimate. You can also do a search through the Library of Congress. You might be pretty surprised at what you'll find!
