Remember that your call, letter, email doesn't equal just represent you (ie one person/vote). For every response a representative receives, that response equals some number of voters. I don't know the exact figures and they vary depending on whether you call, email, etc (the more effort you put in, the more your opinion registers). For a while our house was a Neilson Ratings household. As such they constantly monitored our TV viewing. The cool thing was that in their statistics, we represented 6,500 households!
Happy Tuesday, Stephen

Folks,
I heard that Blackwell is *not* supporting this legislation. Please take whatever action seems appropriate.

This Thursday, Philadelphia's City Councilmembers will have the opportunity to pass real "Pay to Play" reform for our city. Councilman Michael Nutter's legislation would expose sweetheart deals to the sunshine of public scrutiny.
Unless they hear from you, I'm afraid they're going to blow it.
Eleven Councilmembers are in favor of the Bill, one short of passage. You will be happy to know that your Councilmember, Frank Dicicco, supports reforming the way our City awards no-competition contracts. Please take a moment to thank Councilmember DiCicco for his supporting the "Pay to Play" Sunshine legislation (Bill Nos. 040771 and 040772). As always you can use Hallwatch to send a letter:
http://www.hallwatch.org/faxbank/paytoplay
Or you can call Councilmember DiCicco at 215.686.3458.
Our leaders need to hear from us when we're happy with the job they're doing just as much as when we're dissatisfied. Please contact Councilmember DiCicco today.
Thank you for considering my request.
