There are two very important items covered by this alert:

1.  If you personally know, or have worked on the campaigns of, any of the following selected Delegates, we need your help.  We are trying to make sure our message gets across and to get a head-count of who supports or who does not support the restaurant ban repeal as it stands now, with the no consumption clause.  If you can help, please contact me to get details on what we need you to do.  Time is of the essence, so please get back to me ASAP if you can help.  Here are the Delegates in question:

Dave Albo
Ward Armstrong
Tom Bolvin
George Berman
Preston Bryant
Charles Carrico
Thelma Drake
Alan Dudley
Tom Gear
Frank Hargrove
Bill Howe
Joe Johnson
Chris Jones
Benny Keyster
Steve Landis
Danny Marshall
Joe May
Bob McDonald
Ryan McDoogle
Michelle McQuigg
Harvey Morgan
John O'Bannon
Al Pollard
Gary Reese
Jack Rollison
Jim Schuler
Terry Suit
Leo Wardrup


2.  For the rest of you, we need you to start contacting your Delegates in support of repealing the restaurant ban.  Call, fax, mail, or e-mail them.  There is a good chance that the bill could make it out of committee on Friday and it will be headed to the Floor quickly thereafter.  We don't want any of these Delegates to say that they hadn't heard from their constituents like they did last year.
