This is an e-mail from Linda Henderson, passed to me by Barbara M. so it can be posted.
Hello fellow DoP activists! Tonight, by unanimous vote, Lansing City Council (Michigan's capital city) passed a resolution in support of HR 808 which embodied language urging Congressman Mike Rogers (Republican) to co-sponsor the bill, and also urging both Michigan Senators, Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin, to offer a companion bill in the U.S. Senate. I will be attempting to obtain an electronic version of the resolution from the City Clerk tomorrow to pass along. I will also try to get some electronic clips of the Council Vice President's comments in support, as they directly speak to why local city councils have an interest in supporting this kind of federal legislation. I also have a pic of the council with "the poster"...I will send that along also. I have heard tonight from Robert Weir, Michigan's 6th Congressional District Leader, who informs that the Kalamazoo City Commission has their resolution calendared in two weeks. Bravo!
We have movement in that direction in Traverse City and Grand Rapids. We also believe Manistee County Commission is poised to pass a resolution in support this month.
We are busy now trying to get students to the SPA Conference at Brandeis.
