Sorry for not repliying earlier, but I am currently using internet explorer(IE) and have tried on two different computers now. For some reason IE just doesnt like the movie much.

I am very new at all of this, and tired of not being a part of great movements that will impact so many lives. Any advice as to how I can stay up on what is happening with this bill?

yes- there was a vote to “invoke cloture” and it passed 63-3. This just means that the bill keeps moving forward, but not that the bill is “passed” yet. We expect debate today.

I personally think that if we will work like that than we must be create a world where no one will suffer from poverty, HIV/AIDS, Sanitation Problem and also there have no any lake of childrens education.
As a one member i really proud for being a part of changing the world.

I’m inspired by the previous respondents - keep up the good work! This cause is worth our effort.

I would like to know if a vote was taken today on PEPFAR or not.

If it was, what was the result?

If a vote wasn’t taken, do we know when it will be taken?

I hope that someone will answer my question because I’ve been concerned about this vote all day.

Thanks for any info on PEPFAR’s status before Congress.

Hi John!

That’s why I wrote: “meaning that the bill to provide $50 billion in AIDS, malaria and TB funding will finally be moving again.”

I thought that was the best and most succinct way I could describe exactly what the bill means and what this action means.

For those not able to see the video- can you tell me which internet browser you’re using? (Mozilla Firefox?, Safari?, Internet Explorer?)

As far as the video is concerned you’re not missing much. It’s just procedural babble.
