Ms Lopez:
In addition to the abortion debate, the two best things that could
happen to kill this bill today would be:
1. Additional companies to come forward and join Caterpillar
identifying the House bill as a jobs-killer.
2. Public announcements (or even leaks) by a handful of Democratic
Senators indicating that they intend to vote against the House bill
when it reaches the Senate.
I’ve done my part by urging Sens. Webb and Warner of Virginia to
oppose the House bill publicly and quickly. I assume that they would
just as soon see this bill die in the House rather than have their
fingerprints on something so unpopular in Virginia. At least that’s
my hope.
