CALL TO ACTION: S.614 WASP CONGRESSIONAL GOLD


31 (THIRTY-ONE) United States Senators are now signed on to Co-Sponsor Senate Bill S.614.

HOWEVER--THERE ARE STILL 36 SENATORS TO GO.
P L E A S E KEEP WRITING-- P L E A S E KEEP THIS AS A TOP PRIORITY WHILE THE MOMENTUM IS GOOD.

Senators offices are SWAMPED with requests every day, as you can imagine--specially now, in these tough times. You can actually see the bills pending --S.614 is in the
Banking Committee online: where there are 46 bills pending as of today.

ONLY A SOLID PUSH EFFORT BY SUPPORTERS WILL GET IT THROUGH TO THE END. Senators LISTEN to voters. If we can encourage our own Senators that this is absolutely the RIGHT THING TO DO, then the HOUSE will be much easier--because we will need TWO/THIRDS there as well.

Calls, emails, visits, letters or singing telegrams--ANYTHING that will get their attention--there are 70 Senators who need to be NUDGED--and we only need 37 to join us-- However, wouldn't it just be wonderful if they ALL signed on!!!

If you call, you might ask for the MILITARY FELLOW--or the MILITARY LEGISLATIVE ANALIST--or the LEGISLATIVE DIRECTOR. They all have the ear of their Senator--and should be all for this.

Call this a GRASSROOTS PUSH--which is just as important as the wonderful work that Senator's Hutchison and Mikluski's offices are doing. IF YOU HAVE IDEAS, EMAIL US!!!!! LET'S SHARE.
