Is it alright to demand FOCA NOW! Pres Obama "promised" it would be the first legislation he signed

[saracat]

What with anti choice legislation going to be passed in AZ and other states this is more important than ever.

1. Sit in the corner, and shut up.

2. I wondered the same thing. Don't worry. He'll do it.

That crap can't withstand Obama's scrutiny. One of his top people used to run "Emily's List" , remember (Ellen Moran)?

8. thanks!! i didn't know about this. I like that idea.

[SIMPLYB1980]

10. No problem. Glad I could help.

11. It's still in sub/committee in both Houses. I'm sure obama will sign it as soon as it passes.

Yes we should definitely demand that congress move on this bill!

[Uzybone]

13. oh, so its not even ready yet?

Obama is really a magician, he can sign bills into law before they even pass congress.

[merh]

14. Doesn't the legislative branch have to pass it

make it a law and then it comes to him for signature?

Isn't that the process?

You don't want him to be like King George, declaring the law and by passing the legislature, do you?

[saracat]

15. Just encouraging him. If he can work on closing Guantanamo and Ethics reform

he can at least be speaking out on this issue and hurry it along! Congress needs pushing too. I don't want this "marginalised. I want it to be as "promised" and NOT put on the back burner!

[merh]

16. I understand

we need to focus on the legislative branch, get them to put it in his hands.
