ICYMI: this is actually not new: a conservative coalition of faith-based leaders, the U.S. Chamber, & parts of Silicon Valley pressuring lawmakers which began at least in January w/ pressure on Senators. Still, this pressure on House Holdouts is significant when combined w/ the push by the Usual Suspects--specifically the Latino advocacy community. What is missing is everyday people--the so-called Center and Indies. Where are the soccer moms? The teachers? The air traffic controllers? You get my drift: like the shutdown, the pressures gotta come from every1 in order to see reform, if we are to see it. nytimes/2013/10/26/us/politics/conservative-coalition-presses-house-republicans-to-act-on-immigration.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=edit_th_20131026&_r=0
