S. 1079 by Kaileigh McCrea, Mar 13, 2008 (8:27pm)

This act does not currently have any support or opposition. However, supporters would probably argue that this bill would be important in that the commission would be dedicated to finding ways to remind Americans of the importance of the frequently forgotten War of 1812 and its relation to the composition of the star spangled banner. Opposition would probably take issue with the massive amount of money being spent on a bill that will not have any noticeable impact on the welfare of the country.
