OK, I'm burning my diary for the day to second this call by Chris Bowers:
House whip count update, from sources very close to the process (yeah, take anonymous sources as you will):
First, we are making progress. All of the "lean yes" votes on the whip count chart have become solid yes votes.
Second, don't bother with Boyd, Berry, Ellsworth, Hill, Gordon or Tanner.
Most importantly, put heavy pressure on the following seven members:
Gabrielle Giffords (AZ-8): 202-225-2542, 520-459-3115, 520-881-3588
Dennis Cardoza (CA-18): 202-225-6131; 209-383-4455, 209-527-1914
Joe Donnelly (IN-2): 202-225-3915, 574-288-2780
Curt Schraeder (OR-05): 202-225-5711, 503-588-9100
Lincoln Davis (TN-04): 202-225-6831, 931-490-8699, 931-473-7251
Glenn Nye (VA-2): 202-225-4215 757-326-6201
Jim Costa (CA-20): 202-225-3341, 661-869-1620, 559-495-1620
Rick Boucher (VA-9): 202-225-3861, 276-628-1145
We still have time. Decision down to just a few members now. Wherever you live, put in a call now.
