It's not being heard in this committee and there may be plans to subvert the committee and tack it on the AG Appropriations Bill, but if You have a member in your state, please write them and ask them to vote no if it comes to the committee. In CA, we have 40% of the state's House Representatives co-sponsoring this bill. WE need help from the other states, unfortunately!!! Stormy Hope FWD: The number of Congressional supporters for PUPS rose from yesterday's count of 82 to now 86. These are the Congressional subcommittee members to hear this bill. Many of them will only accept contact from their constituents. We need to alert those constituents around the country. Can you help by sharing this list?
