First of all, thank you to anyone who sent out a letter or made a phone call to their Representative. Staffers told our coalition members that the phone calls and letters really did make a difference. HR 27 passed yesterday, 224 to 200. The Scott Amendment to restore civil rights protections failed, 186 Aye -- 239 No. ' I'm really very proud of the work our coalition did. We had great leadership from groups like Americans United and ACLU. Now, on to the Senate!
