At one point in my life, I doubted that one citizen could make a difference in our government. My recent experiences are a direct challenge to my former way of thinking.
Today, AB 2165, the bill I’ve been promoting for several months, passed out of the California Assembly on “Consent.” That means it got an up-arrow vote out of the Assembly, with NO opposition. Yay!
Next stop: the California Senate, where the bill will be assigned to a policy committee. I’ll be headed back to Sacramento, to help ensure committee members’ positive votes.
If all goes well, there will be a vote of the entire Senate, and the bill will eventually land on our Governor’s desk.
Look for us, Arnold: we’re on our way!
That’s great! btw, I’m in Sacramento 🙂
Do you live close to the capitol? I’m not really familiar with any place other than that building. lol
This is awesome news. So pleased for you and all of those that will benefit from your hard work. One can make a difference.
Thanks so much! Your state, next? 🙂
You go, girl! That’s great! Big congrats!
Thanks, Sascha. Your support means a lot.
Woo-hoo! That’s got to feel wonderful.
Yes, it really does. My son’s graduating from college on Saturday, and this is a wonderful graduation “gift.”
Wonderful News! That is terrifc – I’m so happy for you!!
Thanks; I’m happy, too — but happiest for what this means for my son. 🙂
good for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Meg. It feels good to have made this kind of progress; I think I’m seeing the finish line. I’m still crossing my fingers and toes, but I feel very optimistic at this point.
LOVE your icon, by the way. It’s so perfect!
Oh a big YAHOO for you. Way to go.
