As you’ve all noticed, I’ve suspended the blog for the time being so that I can participate in the negotiations surrounding the bailout bill currently under consideration in the nation’s capital. I’ll be back tomorrow, though, with the first in a long string of exciting new entries.

In the meantime, I’d like to ask a favor of my New York readers. There’s a bill on the governor’s desk right now that supports women and children who have been subjected to domestic violence and sex trafficking, specifically those who are undocumented immigrants. It’s a low-profile bill, but an important one, and if the governor doesn’t sign it by tomorrow night it won’t become law. 

I’ve put up a full explanation of the situation over at my other blog, and I’d very much appreciate it if the New Yorkers among you could take a couple of minutes to go read that post, and if you find it compelling, make a phone call. It’s literally a fifteen-second call, and it could make a big difference in the lives of women who are trying to put their lives back together in very difficult circumstances.

Thanks.
