Dear Industry Member: Here’s the latest on the House-passed postal reform bill (HR 3076): Last night, the Senate voted 74-20 in favor of *cloture. This paves the way for a full Senate floor vote tomorrow, March 2nd. *By definition, cloture is a Senate procedure that limits further consideration of a pending proposal to 30 hours in order to end a filibuster. On the Cusp of a Long, Hard-Fought Victory To those who got out and urged their senators to vote for cloture and the forthcoming floor vote, we thank you very much – your activism made a huge difference! Now, if you can make a final push to your senators, especially Republicans, you can help ensure this bill gets passed. We’ll be back in touch later in the week with further updates, but for now, although anything could come along to upend this crucial bill (as it could with any bill at this stage), things are looking promising. Thank you, Hamilton Davison |
