Here's this morning's update from the Coalition for Genetic Fairness.
Dear friends,
We can hardly believe it, but GINA is at the brink of coming to the floor.
It appears there is a deal, that the hold has been dropped and almost all systems are go. I say almost, because as of last night there were still a few sign-offs to be had to allow the bill to go to the floor under unanimous consent – the Senate’s preferred way of doing business.The Senate convenes at 5PM EDT today, and there is a strong possibility that GINA will go to the floor. If not today, then tomorrow – we can hardly believe it.Our allies in the Senate have thanked us, and it is to all of you we pass on that thanks – your calls and faxes had an astounding effect – we are breathless with the force of your passion. Thank you so much!Check and see if your senator has co-sponsored (below) – never hurts to jump on – so call to thank them, or call to ask them to cosponsor!We will blast the vote out to all of you as soon as I happens!
Best,
Sharon
