14. Here's a thought
Perhaps it is inherent on those who do not like this bill to keep petitioning our Senators about what we want. Or, when there are quite a few signing on to support the PO under reconciliation, do we give that up before it's over? When more Senators sign on every day or so, we're supposed to go along with pronouncing it dead? Or do we keep on while there is hope? Remember hope? There was a guy who ran on it a while back.

It very well may do no good cause the industry's votes count more than ours but does it do any harm to keep fighting until the fight is won or lost? Is this one of the problems with our party? "Pretty please, pass a bill that won't hurt us too much" is a strong negotiating position?
