I am going to be making a page here to start logging what bills have been in congress and what has happened to them. With bills such as HR 1161: the Family Caregiver Security Act of 2007 stalled out in the subcommittees, and bills such as H.R. 175 [109th]: Family Caregiver Security Act of 2005 dying in them, there needs to be somewhere with dedicated attention being paid to what is happening with those things.

Right now I am thinking to make it a Wiki, which would allow anyone to help add and maintain the information on the different bills.  I’m still thinking about it though, and will be seeing what I can come up with soon.
