Tell him to SUPPORT THE ZADROGA 9/11 HEALTH CARE BILL
This is the legislation (renewed once again--thanks to Sen. Harry Reid and SEn. Gillibrand) that would provide health care to the 9/11 rescue workers and first responders. Scott Brown voted AGAINST it last week--many are very angry about this, including conservatives who support him. Please ask him to take care of these 9/11 heroes. Further info on this blog post.

Call for YES vote on START Treaty
Update Mon 12/20 8:30 PM: START appears to have enough Republican support to pass
Update Mon. 5:00PM: I'm hearing reports that Scott Brown is now a YES on START. Advocacy--calls and emails and spreading the word--works!
--
The obstructionist GOP has been dragging its feet on this. All former Republican Secretaries of State support its passage. Fmr. Pres. George H W Bush supports its passage. Reagan's baby has become the latest ploy in GOP obstructionism. Overview of new START from WaPo. Condoleezza Rice and other GOP bigwigs support its ratification. On some of the latest back/forth from Republican Senators (Dec 18). MIT physicists call on Brown to pass START
UPDATE: As of earlier today (Mon, Dec 20, 2010)--Brown's Boston office confirming Brown is still "UNDECIDED" on START, citing "concerns" and wanting "amendments". Does he know better than Kissinger, Condi Rice and Fmr. Pres. Bush? Call him and tell him to support passage of NEW START treaty.
(while you're at it--send an email to Senator John Kerry and thank him for his support of key legislation such as the above all along--not at the last minute)

UPDATE 12/18: Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell was repealed yesterday! Brown voted for its repeal, 2x, keeping his promise this time. DREAM Act did not move forward: with 55 votes, they could not get past the filibuster. Brown voted AGAINST Dream Act moving forward. Be sure to thank Senator Kerry for voting for both DREAM and DADT repeal. START treaty is still coming for vote next week... GOP leadership still making noises about not supporting it. ???!!! Call Scott Brown. It's unclear where he stands.

please call Scott Brown re:
- Don't Ask Don't Tell Repeal
- DREAM Act
The Votes are TODAY , likely before Noon, (Saturday)--please urge him to vote yes on both.
His position on DADT seems relatively secure (but remember he pulled a fast one last week), but he has said he is opposed to DREAM Act. Hearing from constituents is important to remind him if/when he takes votes out of step w/ his constituents.
