I just found out about this cool site. My beloved saw it on Good Morning America.

www.icivics.org

It teaches about American government by games & such. I haven't checked it out much myself. Let's all learn about it at the same time.

It's an educational site for, I'm guessing, middle school. Oversimplified and general, but designed to spark kids' interest in the system.

What a stupid, impossible game! But did teach me about government a bit.

I totally just passed this energy bill

Make sure we always have energy in the future

Amendments
Allow the government to drill for oil in places where private companies cannot

Declare war against any nation with a lot of oil

Give tax cute to power companies, so they will have more money to build new sources of power

Give tax cuts to families so they can help their children save money for electricy costs in the future

Provide significant funding to develop new energy technologies
