1. So how many more votes do we need for Kennedy's bill to pass?

Does anyone have an idea of who is on which side of the debate in the senate? Are all dems behind kennedy, or are there some cowards on this issue too?

2. You can be a citizen co-sponsor !

Which is more than our elected officials are doing :)

Otherwise I haven't seen much support for the Kennedy bill :(

3. Already did that...

But seriously, I think this is one issue that is emblematic of the social and economic injustices in this country.
