Of that Sensenbrenner information, I think, is a) that there seems to be no good reason for the House not to move on the Martinez bill. B) It is my understanding that the leadership, other than the aforementioned chairman, wants to act—would probably be willing to pass the Martinez version of the bill.
So, the point: If you want to do something, your congressman knowing that you want action could be a useful action. Or so I am told.
