H.Res. 1111 · 111th Congress
Designating March 2, 2010, as "Read Across America Day".
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
27 cosponsors · 20 D, 7 R
1 signed on when it was introduced; the rest joined later. Cosponsors who withdrew aren't shown.
