I phoned 14 Pennsylvania House members. Three of the 14 I phoned today, Mike Fitzpatrick, Tim Holden and Curt Weldon are part of the 105 co-sponsors of the Bill. The others don't know whether they will vote for it or not.
Please contact James Sensenbrenner. I was told by one of the legislative aides he has some concerns about the Bill and its possible repercussions as it is written now. According to this aide, Sensenbrenner is generally most particular about the wording of bills. While the aide is hopeful H.R. 1151 will pass, he is worried it may not pass in time.

That's the feeling I got when I called his office. At least it is finally on the schedule on Wednesday, but there is nothing on the sschedule for Monday in the Judiciary Committee.
