Rep. George Miller: Support Discharge Petition
Representative GEORGE MILLER: Support a discharge petition for voting on comprehensive immigration reform NOW.
Why is this important?
Comprehensive immigration reform is dying a slow death in Congress because House Speaker Boehner—who has the power to demand an up-or-down vote on the reform bill—refuses to get out of the way.
There is, however, a simple way that Democrats can bypass Boehner and save immigration reform. They can introduce the Senate bill, which passed with broad bipartisan support, then use a discharge petition to force an up-or-down vote in the House of Representatives.
A discharge petition is the most viable option to pass comprehensive immigration reform this fall. It only takes 218 votes to file a discharge petition—that's every Democrat in Congress and 17 Republicans. Support for the discharge petition has increased in the media and appears to be growing among members of Congress.
