It would only take 4 democrats in the House to override Perdue's veto in the first place. The Senate has a built in majority to override the veto. I think our fastest fix is to contact those 5 Democrats and see if they'd be willing to override the veto so we can get some immediate help. I am sure they don't like Perdue's arrogant statements that she is confident that they'll take her side when the budget hits her desk (already a forewarning that she has no intentions of compromise.)
