Get Involved? Not so easy, that

The House Appropriations Committee is holding markup hearings on the the economic recovery bill, but I couldn't find copies of it anywhere.

The hearings don't even make the radar screen at DailyKos, except as a one-line update! No links to the legislation from the Committee website (at least, that I found).

Apparently, the House's ideas of how to spend money are known, but not available.

Ways and Means will hold hearings tomorrow.

Some of the members even have amendments to propose, which suggests that the outlines of this package have been available for a while, just not to the general public.

The CBO has had time to job-score some provisions, apparently.

That looks like a refutation of grassroots, not an empowerment, right?
