Lately, when I have visited the Thomas site, I feel like I’m watching The Price Is Right. You remember the old game show with host Bob Barker? The announcer would call out the names of four contestants, and say, “you are the first contestants on The Price Is Right!”

Anyway, I’m saying that to announce that the next sponsor of the Community Choice Act is:

Rep Moore, Dennis [KS-3] - 3/5/2008

Come on down!!!!

Actually, I remember Rep. Moore. When ADAPT finished the Free Our People March back in September, 2003, we had a rally at Upper Senate Park. Among the dignitaries that came was Rep. Moore, who got out his guitar and performed “This Land Is Your Land”, and sang for us. I though that was pretty cool!

Thanks to all of you activists and advocates for all of your hard work!

Another member of the House of Representatives has signed on to the Community Choice Act!

Rep Murphy, Tim [PA-18] - 3/4/2008

Thanks to ADAPT members, activists, and advocates for all of your hard work!

After a looooooooooooooooooooong hiatus, we have another Community Choice Act co-sponsor in the Senate!

Sen. Johnson, Tim [SD] - 2/28/2008

Great…now let’s keep ‘em coming in!

None other than…

Rep Kuhl, John R. “Randy”, Jr. [NY-29] - 3/3/2008

Wow! He had signed on back in 2006 after a protest by ADAPT. He didn’t sign on last year due to some kind of “misunderstanding”, and was absolutely rude to us for a long time. I’m not sure why he signed on this time. Perhaps the “misunderstanding” was cleared up (finally), or he was bitten by his conscious. Whatever. I’m just glad that he signed on!
