Here's this morning's update from the Coalition for Genetic Fairness. Dear friends,We can hardly believe it, but GINA is at the brink of coming to the floor.It appears there is a deal, that the hold has been dropped and almost all systems are go. I say almost, because as of last night there were still a few sign-offs to be had to allow the bill to go to the floor under unanimous consent – the Senate’s preferred way of doing business.The Senate convenes at 5PM EDT today, and there is a strong possibility that GINA will go to the floor. If not today, then tomorrow – we can hardly believe it.Our allies in the Senate have thanked us, and it is to all of you we pass on that thanks – your calls and faxes had an astounding effect – we are breathless with the force of your passion. Thank you so much!Check and see if your senator has co-sponsored (below) – never hurts to jump on – so call to thank them, or call to ask them to cosponsor!We will blast the vote out to all of you as soon as I happens!Best,SharonCo-sponsors:Sen Allard, Wayne  - 1/22/2007Sen Bayh, Evan [IN] - 4/16/2008Sen Bennett, Robert F.
