View article without comments PASS THE EQUITY BILL NOW! FIGHT RACISM!by Justice for Filipino Amertican Veterans Saturday, Aug. 30, 2008 at 2:57 PMjfav_causa@yahoo.com 213-241-0906 337 Glendale Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026 Last night, at the Philippine Consulate Community Hall, our lobbyist. ACFV's Eric Lachica reported about the state of the equity bill which has been stalled in the lower house of US Congress since May 2008. He reported that the Democratic Party was not able to get a majority-the target 290 votes to pass the equity bill. Many backed out on what they have promised support to the bill. Out of the 236 democrat congresspersons, we have only 180 votes and 39 republican votes. We are short of 40 votes to pass a simple majority. Thus, we need a LAST PUSH TO PASS THE EQUITY BILL IN THE LOWER HOUSE BY SEPTEMBER 25. Or else we will be back to square one!
