Colleagues: We've topped the thousand mark for our petition condemning the Balanced Budget Amendment. We will be releasing the names to the press very soon. Our press conference will be on Thursday (maybe on C-Span) at 2:30. If you have not yet forwarded your endorsement, do not delay. Best way is to fax it to 202-331-5545. Second best way is to e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (NOT to me, thank you very much). Chances of the amendment being defeated remain promising, though the vote will undoubtedly be close.
