This email from HRC ,URGENT Please follow my thread on counter the radical right... I'm posting this here as well ,to get people's attention.(more details on my thread.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got this one in the email:

I'm forwarding you a message from our legislative director,
Allison - the vote on hate crimes will be Thursday, and she's
got some disturbing news.

Apparently legislators are being so heavily bombarded with calls
and emails from the radical right that some are getting very
nervous about voting for the bill. Knowing how close we are,
that's not good.

EVEN IF YOU'VE ALREADY CALLED YOUR REPRESENTATIVE about
this bill, and even if they've said they'll vote for it, we need
you to pick up the phone RIGHT NOW and remind them of your
support.



For talking points, and to tell us you called, go to:

Thank you so much,
Joe Solmonese

staff who are reporting that they are getting flooded by the
other side's emails and phone calls. This has some key freshman
Members very nervous. Others are still on the fence.

Thanks, Red! I called and wrote. Hopefully, it will make some difference, even if a tiny amount!

Ladyinred,

I was so quick to post my "Phone Calls NEEDED!" message last night that I didn't see that you had already beat me to it. :tup:

Even though my congresswoman has already told me in an email that she will not support the hate crimes bill, I called her anyway today. She needs to know this voter is paying attention.
