We hope you are having a good Presidents’ Day weekend and want to thank you for putting democracy in action. Because many people raised their voices asking for hearings on bills before the fiscal cutoff this week, more bills now have hearings! Here’s a chance to take 5 minutes to sign in PRO for these 10 bills on FAN’s agenda. Several of them need to be done before tomorrow/Tuesday morning, so please note the times, and remember you need to sign in at least one hour before each hearing. It’s easiest to do them all now while you have time!
