CDCs serve as the point people for our organizing work in congressional districts.
There are 435 districts represented in
Congress and we currently have 27 CDCs -- can you help us bridge the gap? If
you are interested in helping out in this way, contact CDC coordinator Jennifer
Beall at jenbeall@peacetaxfund.org or call our office.
Since our last issue of Update, seven more Representatives have signed onto H.R. 2037, bringing the total to 42. They are, in order of date they cosponsored: John Conyers (MI-14), José Serrano (NY-16), Jerry Moran (KS-1), Corrine Brown (FL-3), Elijah Cummings (MD-7), Ted Strickland (OH-6), and Melvin Watt (NC-12).
Both Strickland and Cummings received visits on Lobby Day, May 14. NCPTF member Marjorie Nelson flew in from Athens, Ohio, to meet in person with Strickland. Marian Franz joined Nelson in the conversation with Strickland that lasted nearly an hour and ranged from Nelson's personal beliefs to Jesus' teachings on paying taxes.
Over fifty people lobbied for H.R. 2037 and against military draft legislation
on Lobby Day, jointly sponsored by NCPTF and the Center on Conscience and War.
Lobby visits, calls, and letters are very effective ways of gaining support
for H.R. 2037. All seven new cosponsors were on Marian's list of lobby priorities.
Thanks for helping to bring them on board!
