Thank The Powers That Be that this is on 11/18. I have the following week, Thanksgiving week, off from work and plan on going vegetative that week. (And make pies. But mostly being in a vegetative state to recover from this year and get ready for Dec.)

[whometense]

1. I see

Ayanna is back on the job. :-)

[WildEyedLiberal]

2. Gasp!

That's the beginning of my Thanksgiving break!

It's probably too ambitious to plan on going, but still....

[TayTay]

3. Por Favor for this event

Can someone get and post the summary for the bill that Senator Kerry introduced back in Sept or Aug. He called it the 'Export Products Not Jobs' bill, if memory serves. Hmmmm, wonder if that will come up in this speech.

[ProSense]

4. Here:

S.3777
Title: A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to ensure a fairer and simpler method of taxing controlled foreign corporations of United States shareholders, to treat certain foreign corporations managed and controlled in the United States as domestic corporations, to codify the economic substance doctrine, and to eliminate the top corporate income tax rate, and for other purposes.
Sponsor: Sen Kerry, John F. (introduced 8/2/2006) Cosponsors (None)
Latest Major Action: 8/2/2006 Referred to Senate committee. Status: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.SUMMARY AS OF:
8/2/2006--Introduced.

Export Products Not Jobs Act - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to: (1) revise rules and definitions relating to the taxation of controlled foreign corporations to limit deferral of tax for certain types of income earned overseas; (2) treat certain foreign corporations managed and controlled in the United States as domestic corporations for income tax purposes; (3) define "economic substance" for purposes of evaluating tax shelter transactions; (4) impose a penalty for underpayments of tax resulting from transactions lacking in economic substance; (5) deny a tax deduction for interest on such underpayments; and (6) eliminate the 35% income tax rate on corporations and personal service corporations.

5. Yay! This one's on a Saturday

So I can probably attend. :)

6. So who's going to make it on the 18th?

I've got my own opinion of the so-called "booming" economy: it sucks.

And now, with the Dems in power in the Senate, we will no doubt hear quite a bit about small business. This should be very interesting indeed.

[cadmium]

7. That should be an easy one for me to attend.

I should be able to bring Gil

[Mass]

8. Is this still going on. I have not seen any announcement on the Kerry website.

[TayTay]

9. I heard that it is still on the docket.

However, there has been no Mass-centered e-mail. So, I am going on the assumption that it is, but that it could be changed.

[_dynamicdems]

10. Well, it's 8 days away, so there should be an e-mail soon.

I hope it's still on!
