Right, Tom.
 
Reps. Jackson-Lee and Thompson haven't abandoned us just because Senator Lieberman was the sponsor of S.1755 -- it's just a matter of the right people jumping through the right parliamentary hoops at the right time. This is an area where John is clearly an expert.

The good news is that once the Senate passed the bill, it became policy that all Senators support.
That's how our own Board decisions work.   So, every Senator is a supporter, any one can help us.
So I think the next step is to see who can we get to step forward and work on it with the House?
