Good Morning again everyone,
Congressman Larsons Senior Legislative Assistant, David Sitcovsky spoke  
with me acknowledging my e-mail and recalling the February meeting. He then  
stated that it was an oversight that the congressman had not signed on as  
co-sponsor yet. Also, that the congress is out of session until September and  
any action would have to wait till then. Of course that is just around the  
corner so the fight continues.

Hi all,
I was fortunate to meet with Congressman Larson in February along with  
Trevor, Betty and Bob and my husband George. He was attentive and shook our  
hands saying that he would co-sponsor HR3086. I have e-mailed  him in  the 
past and did so again this morning. I will call as well. Keep up the  good work 
everyone!

Rich and All,
Instead of leaving a message with the  person who answers the phone or 
another intern, I recommend contacting  Congresswoman DeLauro's fellow who is 
handling this issue: Matt Doyle.  Ask for him immediately when her Washington 
office picks up.  You can also e-mail Matt at:
_matt.doyle at mail.house.gov_ (mailto:matt.doyle at mail.house.gov) 
After asking Matt to let  Congresswoman DeLauro know you want her to 
co-sponsor H.R. 3086, you may  also want to let him know that an intern with whom 
you left this message  may not be communicating this concern to the rest of 
the staff.
Thanks  for your patience and diligence.
Nathanael

Dear list serve participants (and those that  receive these emails
from them),

As Justin said in his  August 15th email, as we all boycott Goodwill
and prepare to  demonstrate on Saturday, August 25, it is important
for us to  remember that our final goal is the passage of the Fair
Wages for  Workers with Disabilities Act to end an outdated practice
that is  unfair, discriminatory, and immoral. Thanks to those who
have  contacted Senator Blumenthal’s office requesting his support
by  introducing a companion bill in the Senate.

To date,  Congressman Joe Courtney is our only Congressman to
co-sponsor H.R.  3086, the Fair Wages for Workers with Disabilities
Act. We are  asking members who are in other Congressional districts
to call  their Congressperson urging their co-sponsorship of this
important  legislation. Below is contact information:

Congressman Jim  Himes office:
Emily Cardon, Legislative Correspondent
_202-225-5541_ (tel:202-225-5541) 

Congressman John Larson Office:
David Sitcovsky, Senior  Legislative Assistant
_202-225-2265_ (tel:202-225-2265) 

Rosa DeLauro Office:
Matt Doyle
_202-225-3661_ (tel:202-225-3661) 

Right or wrong as it may  be, I think we’re all in agreement that
Chris Murphy isn’t focused  on Congressional work at this point,
and we should wait until he  may be elected to the Senate in November
to approach him for  support.

Nathanael Wales has been in touch with Congresswoman  DeLauro’s
office on a regular basis concerning this issue. However,  we have no
one contacting Congressmen Himes and Larson. Members in  their
districts are encouraged to make calls please. For more  information

on this topic, visit website.
