It’s going to be a late night for us and the Senate. The vote on the Biden-Lugar Amendment is scheduled to happen tonight and the Senate will be in session late as they vote on a large series of amendments.

Below is the list of supporters for the Biden-Lugar Amendment. The number currently stands at 40 known supporters, spanning all sides of the aisle – and we are sure there are more out there. ONE Members have placed thousands of calls over the last two days to let their senators know that this amendment is important to them and to the lives of millions of people around the globe. Keep up your hopes and prayers, and check back soon for updates.

Thanks each and everyone of you who have put so much support behind this effort!

    Neither of “my” Texas Senators are on this list….I’m not surprised but I am irate. I will be asking for an explanation of their votes tomorrow.

    And this time – I want answers…..I’m serious. (smile)

    Thanks John for these updates. With forty co-sponsors, this amendment should pass.

    AS ONE, debbie :)
