Update on an item from below...
There is a link up on the Clerk of the House's website to a "discharge petition" filed today - a petition to force consideration of a bill by Rep. Sam Johnson's (R-TX). It lists all of the House Members who have signed it so far:

The Johnson bill would fully fund our troops in harm's way - no strings, no micromanagement. This is an ongoing process (meaning Members can still sign up), and if the discharge petition gets 218 signatures, the bill automatically comes to the floor for consideration.
From the Ohio delegation: Boehner, Tiberi, Schmidt, Gillmor, and Pryce have signed as of this writing. Where is Chabot, Turner, Hobson, and Regula? Of course, we know that old Steven "Cut and Run" LaTourette is a White Flag Republican, so we know not to count on him...
3/21 UPDATE: Jim Jordan has signed.
Contact information:
Chabot: (202) 225-2216
Turner: (202) 225-6465
Hobson: DC Office number is not on his site - Springfield: 937.325.0474; Lancaster: 740.654.5149
Regula: 202-225-3876
LaTourette: (202) 225-5731
3/22 Update
3/22 UPDATE: A few more from Ohio have signed...
Steven "Cut and Run" LaTourette (he must have been confused, but we're glad he got on board)
Mike Turner (Gribbit's letter must have done the trick!)
QUESTION: Where are Chabot (202) 225-2216, Hobson (Springfield: 937.325.0474; Lancaster: 740.654.5149), and Regula 202-225-3876???
3/24 Update
Still no word from Chabot (202) 225-2216, Hobson (Springfield: 937.325.0474; Lancaster: 740.654.5149), and Regula 202-225-3876.
I thought Chabot was a conservative...maybe I was wrong...
