Yesterday, Jubilee USA wrapped up their 40-day fast with a terrific victory! Senators Robert Casey (D-PA), Richard Lugar (R-IN) and Chris Dodd (D-CT) introduced the Jubilee Act with Senators Joseph Biden (D-DE), John Sununu (R-NH) and Barack Obama (D-IL) as original co-sponsors of the legislation.
Today, Jubilee members are walking the Halls of Congress trying to build support for their bill. Please encourage everyone to call using our ONE 800 number (1-800-786-2663) to garner support for this important legislation.
All the talking points you need are here.
Thanks!
-Erin Erlenborn, ONE’s Government Affairs Director
