Second Chance Act! Action Needed Now!

Action Alert

Urgent Action Needed for the Second Chance Act

The Second Chance Act is ready to be brought to a vote on the

The Second Chance Act is ready to floor of the House. Yet, the poisoned partisan atmosphere may keep it from ever getting voted upon.

Leaders from both parties have reached agreement on virtually everything that will be in the bill, but there remains some Republican opposition. The Democratic leadership is reluctant to schedule a vote if it turns into a donnybrook on the floor. However, they will schedule a vote next week if they are assured that the bill has the support of at least 100 Republicans.

Therefore, please call your representative and tell them how important it is that this bill passes. If your legislator is a Republican, please ask them to call Rep. Chris Cannon, the lead Republican sponsor, and let him know that they will vote for the Second Chance Act. It is important that they let Mr. Cannon know by tomorrow (Thursday) so that it can be scheduled for a vote next week. If your legislator is a Democrat, please ask them to tell Rep. Hoyer, the Democratic Whip, that they support the bill.

The Second Chance Act will help ex-offenders with their transition to life on the outside—specifically, in five key areas: jobs, housing, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and strengthening families.

A staffmember from Congressman Davis' office (sponsor of the bill) told me that the Second Chance Act will be up for a vote in the House on Tuesday the 13th. I checked on the House's web site but could not find any information on that. Can anyone confirm that a vote will indeed be held on Tuesday? Thanks!
