Steny's 3 am Call for Progressive Democrats?

Submitted by Bob Fertik on June 16, 2009 - 4:07pm.

At 3:21 p.m., Steny Hoyer suddenly pulled the $106 billion War Supplemental bill off the floor because he didn't have enough votes to pass it. That means our calls and emails are making an enormous difference.

So what will Hoyer do next? The Rule allows him to call a vote any time tonight or tomorrow. That means he can wait until progressive Democrats go home and call a sudden vote - even at 3 a.m.

Hillary Clinton said Democrats would be tested by a 3 a.m. call. This is the test. Will progressive Democrats pass?

Calls are urgently needed to Reps. Gwen Moore (WI) at (202) 225-4572 Donald Payne (NJ) at (202) 225-3436, and Jerrold Nadler (NY) 202-225-5635. Call them right now and urge them to vote NO on the War Supplemental.
