We had a good summer collecting signatures at several events and a very good result with volunteers contacting several of our legislators and getting some to actually co-sponsor our bill! Good work by everybody.

Our great Allegheny County volunteer Doug Webster and Jodi Reese from the state FDPA group collaborated on a great essay about the Legislature's dysfunction in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. If you haven't seen it, take a look here.

With redistricting taking center stage nationally due to mid-cycle redrawing of Congressional districts in Texas and California, moving forward on an Independent Redistricting Commission in Pennsylvania is more important than ever. Let's get together on September 17 and figure out what other efforts we can take to get our bills passed. I hope to see you then.

Thanks for all you do.
