Somewhere along the line from congresscritter to usenet, someone is getting
copies of these bills, such as S. 1241.

What I'd like to know is if anyone is able to scan in, edit and correct,
and if not post, at least make available by server somewhere, the full
copy of the bill text, including all statutory changes referenced.

I feel I could do a better job of contacting my congresscritters if I had
actual text.  I would prefer writing a letter explaining how a particular
wording or statute might be bad, as opposed to simply saying "I am opposed
to such and such section".  I want to arguatively discuss the very nature
of what the laws are, and for that I certainly need the text.

Pointers on other ways to get the text besides through the congresscritters
office would be useful as well.
