That is just a bill that was introduced, and a photo op by Democrats to demonstarte that they seek the "Pro Family" vote. There is certainly a long way for it to go.

That was a Senate bill carried by Senators. Well revenue bills have to start in the House, so it would have to wait for a tax and revenue bill to pass the House first before it can be eligible for consideration.

The reason Sen. Blanche Lincoln is carrying that bill is because she is on the Senate Finance Committee, which is the high powered Senate committee that writes tax law. Still the person who would probably ultimately decide if that bill should be taken seriously is the committee chair, who is Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican. In fact that would be the person who to "lobby" .... Grassley and then his counterpart in the House Bill Thomas.
