SAVE Act Discharge Petition Filed, Gaining Momentum

Click to view the 181 bi-partisan signers of the Discharge Petition filed by Rep. Thelma Drake (R-Va.) March 11.
If the petition collects 218 House signatures, a simple majority, the bill can bypass the committee process and be placed on the House floor for a vote, regardless of any objections by Democratic leaders.
