 sk them:\n1. to NOT sign the Feinstein gang bill (S. 456) (focuses on

 n to be INEFFECTIVE)\n2. to wait for Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) Gang Pre

 H PROMISE ACT (JANUARY 12-16th)\n\nSAMPLE PHONE MESSAGE FOR SENATE (TH
 IS IS TOTALLY CHANGEABLE): \"In the 110th Congress you signed or were 
 asked to sign on to the Feinstein gang bill (S. 456), and you may be a
 sked to do so again. The Feinstein bill emphasizes ineffective, costly
 , and short-lived approaches such as increased punishment, the buildin
 g of more prisons, deportation and other such suppression techniques. 
 But we wanted to let you know that in order to help our nation better 
 respond to gangs, Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) will be introducing a new g
 ang bill that promotes evidenced-based approaches proven to reduce and
  prevent youth involvement in criminal gang activity, approaches that 
 respect the wisdom and effectiveness of local governments and communit
 ies, and that are fully supported by and supportive of law enforcement
  professionals. A recent analysis from the National Council on Crime a
 nd Delinquency had proven that the Youth PROMISE Act is more effective
  than Suppression heavy legislation. \"Please do not sign on to the Fe
 instein bill until you have had a chance to consider the Casey bill. \
