Call Your Senators!
Jan 18, 2007 05:55 PM EST
If you value your right to free speech -- and to petition the government -- now is the time to act.
Please call your Senators and urge them to vote "yes" on "the Bennett Amendment," which will strip Section 220 from the Lobbying "Reform" Bill.
Without the Bennett Amendment, we will be stuck with a horrible law. Here's what Jay Sekulow recently wrote:
"So draconian is the proposed Lobbying Reform Bill that it would actually impose registration and reporting requirements on churches and other nonprofit organizations."
The vote is happening tonight. So call now and urge your Senator to support the Bennett Amendment!
... And kudos to Senator John McCain for pledging to support this Amendment.
UPDATE:
Good news. Thanks to your calls, the Bennett Amendment passed 55-43!
