A few progressive members not showing up to vote "no" could help Rahm’s whip count, so it’s possible they could delay and Leadership will bring it up when there are more absences.

Keep calling…tell members of Congress that you need them to show up and vote their conscience, the war is not something you take a dive on.

Call:

Gwen Moore: 202-225-4572

Donald Payne: 202-225-3436

Jerrold Nadler: 202-225-5635

Whip Count

Whip Tool

UPDATE: Dolores reports from the Whip Tool: "Rep. Schakowsky broke her foot (in two places) and they haven’t had a chance to talk so phone-answerer could not tell me what her updated position is, if any, on H.R. 2346."

UPDATE II: Carolyn J reports in Whip Tool that Markey now a yes: "Will SUPPORT the bill. Rep. Markey weasels AGAIN!" Markey voted "no" the first time, and also signed 2007 pledge never to vote for war funding that did not include troop withdrawal timelines. Office: (202) 225-2836

UPDATE III: Gregg, a resident of Nadler’s district, called the Representative’s office; aid could not say at this time how Nadler would vote. Nadler should be sensitive to all the arguments against this supplemental–the use of a supplemental, the lack of a time line, the inclusion of the IMF money, the watered down "clunkers" provision–keep the calls coming.
