How so? What does it mean for a bill to be "assigned." To whom? What
legislative deadline is pending according to the "activists" in this
case?
Are these the same activists who FALSELY claimed that a deadline was
pending for the NY OPMC bill (which they have FALSELY claimed has
something to do with Lyme disease when it does NOT) but after the
(latest) drop dead deadline passed, then miraculously say there is
still time?
Does anyone know what they're talking about Phyllis? If they do, are
they DELIBERATELY lying? Or are they ignorant and incompetent?
Doesn't sound like good choices to me.
So what does it mean for a bill to be "assigned." Why does it "NEED"
to be "assigned" MOnday?
If it isn't "assigned" what happens?
Huh?
Or should we just all execute every "action alert" issued
notwithstanding the fact that most or none of them have proven to be
accurate or have any significance in the past?
At what point does E L and PS get penalized for crying WOLF?
>Your

LOL Sure thing. So we ALL get a direct vote? Is that what you mean???
If ALL of us comply with the action alert, does that mean the bill
will be passed? How EXACTLY do you mean that our efforts will
determine the outcome? In other words, you mean that the fate of the
bill is in OUR hands, not that of the PA Senate and Governor?

What other special interests? Why?

LOL Do you or whoever issued this "action alert" have any idea of the
basic fundamental steps involved in the legislative process or who
actually needs to be contacted at this point, how a bill becomes a
law?
LOL ROTFL LMAO
Again and again and again. Same old thing.

So whether or not the Governor signs it in your opinion depends on the
margin of the legislative majority?
So if all Senators in PA sign a bill the Governor ALWAYS signs it? He
never vetos a bill signed by any large majority?
Don't you think the effort to contact the Governor would be more
effective in persuading the Governor and that is a seperate thing from
the effort to contact Senators?
