Nancy Pelosi's discharge petition to force a vote in the House of Representatives has only 178 of the 218 signatures to bring the bill to the floor.

Fortunately, President Obama and the Democrats are not sitting quietly on this one. They are asking supporters to pressure Republicans by using the campaign's call tool to contact Obama supporters who are represented by Republicans to encourage those supporters to call their Republican Representatives to pressure them to sign the discharge petition. There is a sample script to use just the like the campaign.
A few minutes ago when I checked my inbox of my e-mail I found an e-mail from Stephanie Cutter which reads in part:
Your representative in Congress, John P. Sarbanes, has already done their part to help bring the bill to the floor. But there are dozens more who still need to step up and do the right thing.
Use the call tool today to reach out to fellow Obama supporters and make sure they contact their Republican representative. . . .
We know we can affect change in Washington when we raise our voices together. So pick up the phone and make a few calls. Republicans in the House need to hear from their constituents. You can help:

Please note that you will need to log in just like you did with the campaign. (Please also note that the link I have links to the after hours part of the website since it is too late to make phone calls tonight but I assume that if you click on the link tomorrow it will direct you to an active list that you can use).
So please take some time to make some calls to voters in Republican Districts so that they can pressure their Republicans Representatives to sign the discharge petition.
