C'mon fellas how tough is it? Why has this common sense bill been bottled in your committee for 8 months now. If any of the humps below belong to your district, I recommend you contact their offices and tell them in no uncertain terms that if the bill is still in their committee and not on the floor for a vote by Nov 7, 2008 you simply will be voting for someone else if their up this cycle, if not you'll be remembering them next time.
