From this morning's Earlybird:

• "The yearlong legislative fight over health care is drawing to a frenzied close as a multimillion-dollar wave of advertising that rivals the ferocity of a presidential campaign takes aim at about 40 House Democrats whose votes will help determine the fate of President Obama's top domestic priority," the New York Times reports.

• "A coalition of business groups is hoping geeks rule the school in the next decade. To help make that happen, the new group launched a lobbying campaign late last week to press lawmakers for more federal dough for math and science education programs," Roll Call (subscription) reports.

• "The senior attorney at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said the Supreme Court's loosening of campaign finance restrictions will have little effect on the group's politicking," The Hill reports. "Steven Law, chief legal officer and general counsel for the Chamber, said the biggest beneficiary of the Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission decision would be the labor movement."

• "Spending records indicate the House's two-tier ethics process spent a combined $3.76 million in 2009, with both investigative bodies reporting spending less than their authorized budgets even as the number of inquiries appears to have significantly increased over the previous Congress," Roll Call (subscription) reports.
