Blind Prophecy

Where do Ohio representatives stand on ENDA?

According to the Inclusive ENDA campaign (you can look up your state, too), here are the current details:

Definitely Yes
Steve Driehaus
Charles A. Wilson
Marcy Kaptur
Dennis J. Kucinich*
Marcia L. Fudge
Mary Jo Kilroy*
John A. Boccieri
Zachary T. Space

*co-sponsor

Probable Yes
Betty Sutton
Tim Ryan

Undecided/Unknown
Steve Austria
Patrick J. Tiberi

Probable No
Jean Schmidt
Michael R. Turner
Jim Jordan
Robert E. Latta
John A. Boehner
Stephen C. LaTourette

Nationally, we need another 25 Representatives in the probable/definite “yes” category to move the inclusive ENDA.

Please do your part to move your elected officials into the yes columns. The big battle will be convincing the Senate to get off its ass and actually vote on the legislation, but we can’t drop the ball on the House of Representatives.

When you write or call your elected officials, be sure to specify that you’re asking them to vote “yes” on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, H.R. 3017. Don’t be afraid to ask them how they intend to vote. For more information on the steps to passing ENDA.

ETA: Y’all might as well get used to this, ENDA is my personal highest priority in Congress (unless someone actually does introduce an omnibus bill), so I’m going to be posting about it very regularly.
