A Victory- For Now

February 16, 2006 - 9:10 am

This week, the Senate blocked the Asbestos Bailout Bill, after only 58

Senators voted to wave the Congressional Budget Act, short of the 60 required.

For

now, victims of asbestos and their families have retained their right to

hold asbestos companies accountable for their actions.

Thanks to the over 50,000 People Over Profits supporters who sent letters to

their Members of Congress, and over 190,000 supporters who signed _one of

two petitions_

(http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/293331811?z00m=25942 & z00m=25942 & ltl=1\

140106442) in opposition to this corporate bailout.

But stay tuned, supporters of this measure have vowed to bring the bill up

again in the future.
