>I urge you to continue to follow this story. While the

>stand behind them. So please keep close tabs, and make sure
>that your representatives know that this issue is important to
>you even when Big Bird isn't roaming the halls of Congress.

>For now, though, let's celebrate. The moveon petition was
>signed by over a million people... the most signing any
>petition in this country, ever! Now that's a movement, huh?
