		<description><![CDATA[Personally, I am tired of waiting. I have been voluntering for the Democrats, giving them money and voting for them consistantly, and they made us several promises which they have thus far, not delivered on. I can almost see this dragging out due to all the attention being given to other issues and then right before the election they will tell us they can&#039;t vote on our &quot;controversial bills&quot; and that we should wait until next year. Well I can tell you that that won&#039;t cut it with me and my partner. Either we get ENDA and the Domestic Partership Benefits &amp; Obligation Act passed this year or the Dems can forget about any more support from us! I&#039;m not saying vote Republican, God forbid, but its definitely no money, support or vote if they don&#039;t keep their promises to us.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chris, thanks for the update.

This echo&#039;s what I hear internally within HRC. However, with out a public date set for markup of ENDA in Ed/Labor I am not rushing to yell &#039;yippee&#039;. Plus as Allison says, we still have a lot more work to do within the Senate and thus I see a much more difficult time to secure passage there.
