Well, here it is, a crowdfunding bill in Congress

A bit surprising to me that a subcommittee of the House Financial Services Committee has approved this bill, but there's not much fuss over it that I can tell. Seems like it would make sense for entrepreneurs to leave comments on the site? Zero so far (are they screening them?), and the news has been up there almost a week.

Here's a list of bills that got through the subcommittee: seems to include expanding the 500 shareholder limit; getting rid of the general solicitation prohibition when investors are accredited; and more (in addition to the crowdfunding bill).
