Schumer - supports
Gillibrand - supports 'limited strikes' according to her office, so I assume she'll vote yes
Rep Lowey - undecided but leaning yes

No point in emailing Engel and Schumer. Rational thought on this topic is The Forbidden Forrest.

I haven't figure out Gillibrand yet. Anyone know how educable she is?
