First, David Mixner called on the LGBT community to stop giving money to Democrats who refuse to co-sponsor the RFA.
Then, some really smart and action-oriented folks started a new website Act on Principals , listing positions taken by each lawmaker on RFA. According to their current count, there are 192 yes/leaning yes votes (counting the co-sponsors), 187 no/leaning no votes and 56 unknown positions. 218 votes are required for a bill to be passed by the House.
Of course, the more difficult battle lies in the Senate, where 51 votes are required.
Hats off to these guys, with grassroots movements like this, HRC is becoming more irrelevant with each passing day.
