Ed Brayton at “Dispatches from the Culture War” on Seed.com, a very highly read blog, has written a very favorable post about the “Read the Bills Act.” Check it out.
Downsizer Lance Brown has had his RTBA letter published by “The Union” in Grass Valley, CA. He informs us that if a lot of people visit the web page where it is posted it could reach a larger audience by being “the most read opinion article.” (Unfortunately, a link to this letter is no longer available, as of 16 December 2011.)
DownsizeDC.org continues to grow. 37 new people registered to use our electronic lobbying system for the first time yesterday. And the drive to pass the “Read the Bills Act” continues. 445 Downsizers sent 1,335 messages to Congress yesterday in support of RTBA. But there are still 10,326 subscribers to this email list who have not done so. If they all did so today Congress would be bombarded with 30,978 additional RTBA messages.

Three DC Downsizers contributed $39 toward our month-end goal of $4,000. Thank you to Blake E. Robberts and Daniel E. Marcy. Special thanks to Allan K. Lasley for starting a new monthly pledge. The remaining amount to raise is $3,870, about 19 cents per subscriber to this list. If you want to contribute or start a monthly pledge click on this link.
