She’s in office now and is not in any danger of losing, so, that’s probably why.

What the heck is up with Donna Edwards? I was a contibutor to her campaign and don’t even live in the same state let alone district. I can not believe she isn’t on board.

The House of Representatives is not very voter friendly. You cannot e mail them unless you live in their district. Does anyone know a site that gives accessable e mail site? With the congress you just go to ussenators.com and have e mail access to all.
And, what a complicated site the house has. Am sure it is on purpose but
they should be accessable to everyone as they are making decisions concerning us all.

Just got off the phone with Liz in Grayson’s office. She knew all about the pledge and that Grayson was “leaning yes,” when we need him to “pledge.” I read her the names of the seven who have pledged.

Gwen Moore’s a similar case in Milwaukee, if anyone wants to call her. She’s “leaning yes,” but should take the pledge.

Unlike Grayson, Gwen caved on the War Supplemental. I have been trying to sell her office on the fact that “the pledge,” is a good way to make up for that. It’s a primarily African American district so I can’t believe there’s much tolerance for Gwen’s cave-in.

Sure looks like we need to get on the phones! So many just leaning and no commitment from some of the folks we’ve worked mighty hard for!

grayson has not been good on the issue of healthcare reform — for example, he has not signed on as a cosponsor of hr 676 (conyer’s single payer bill for comprehensive universal healthcare).

hope he gets his act together soon. will call his office again now (thanks for the reminder!)
