New Co-Sponsors - Page 5

I have a question though. Where do we do the "Bi-weekly" post? here or under the "TAKING ACTION'' forum?

^ I don't think we do one yet, but we should.

I'm hoping that we get new cosponsors next week. In the roughly two weeks since introduction, we had:

Week 1: 8 sponsors - 1 chief sponsor and 7 cosponsors
Week 2: 11 cosponsors added

Total: 19 sponsors - 1 chief sponsor and 18 cosponsors

What I'm a little shocked about is the fact that my representative Adam Schiff still hasn't Co-sponsored HR. 1751. I would think he'd be on it by now considering the huge amount of people in our district...but I'm guessing he cares a little bit more about other things than what is really going on in the Pasadena area. Should we also take action with Reps? Do you think it is a good idea for me to go to his office during the recess?

I have added a tool to target reps. When they are added then every two week, the list of reps to target will show up . With all theirs details of how to phone,fax, address, etc. .. reps first need to be added to the list (check the link below), anyone wants to help adding the reps? I am not good at data entry. Also these reps show up on the petition page, so that other people can call them them too

let me know if this works for you guys? or if you can throw in any ideas ?

Basically, grab the info from http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.shtml


There is a dropdown with the reps already in the system, that way you will know who not to add.

I am not good a convincing people, but is anyone in?

we just gained another senator...we are up to 19 now...
the senator is Charles E. Schmer from NY...


follow the link and type Dream ACT.

^ Woo Hoo!

With Schumer added, these nine should be receptive for cosponsor lobbying.

Sen. Burris (D-IL)
Sen. Klobuchar (D-MN)
Sen. Levin (D-MI)
Sen. Cardin (D-MD)
Sen. Wyden (D-OR)
Sen. Udall (D-NM)
Sen. Casey (D-PA)
Sen. Merkley (D-OR)
Sen. Cantwell (D-WA)

Nice,the co-sponsorship in the Senate appears to be going quite well...now only if the House could follow suit.It appears we have most of the relevant Chairs to get Dream act through committee,except Rep. George Miller who is the Chair for the Education & Labor committee.

An aide who works for Sen. Casey told me that he will most likely co-sponsor it since he's done so in the past.

Keep calling him, he really is an easy target.

I read in an article today that all Senators are college graduates, thus I think they can relate to our need to fulfill our full potential, like Juan G. mentioned, the Senators make up their minds early, lets keep this up!
