YES, I know passage is a long shot, and YES I know Barney Frank has not yet signed on. However, I would like to give Congressman Nadler a shout-out for his efforts - especially since he is MY Congressman. Yes, Nadler represents much of the West Side of Manhattan, including Hell's Kitchen (my neighborhood). I happily vote for "Jerry" every two years at the elementary school polling place around the corner - and I will continue to do so as long as he continues to run.

I heart Barney Frank. Would like to see him run for Kennedy's Senate seat, but he will not as he puts priciples ahead of politics and wants to stay where he feels he can be the most effective.
