100% of Oregon\'s Congressional Delegation Co-Sponsor Jubilee ACT
Holiday greetings to all Jubilee Debt Cancellation Supporters. Great news - last Friday, December 21 Senator Ron Wyden signed on as a co-sponsor to the Senate Version of the Jubilee ACT. That means that Oregon is the first state in the USA to have its entire Congressional delegation as co-sponsors of this important ACT and providing leadership in ending global poverty. For more information, about the Jubilee ACT contents, go to www.jubileeusa.org and on the right hand side click on the ACT for details. In 2008 we will be focusing our energy on passage of the ACT in House and Senate. Thanks for all your help. Jubilee Oregon steering committee.
Senator Gordon Smith is Jubilee ACT cosponsor!
Thanks to all your letters, cards and telephone calls to Senator Smith. His foreign policy aide, Andrew Peek, just called on 12/17 to tell me that Senator Smith has agreed to sign on as a co-sponsor. Senator Smith\'s office has notified Senator Wyden\'s office so now we just need to persist with Senator Wyden to get him as a co-sponsor and we will have delivered the entire Oregon delegation as Jubilee debt cancellation supporters. Stay tuned for activities in 2008! Happy Holidays, Pat Rumer
