<div>Good Morning again everyone,</div><div>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.<br>

<div>Hi all,</div><div>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!<br>

Rich and All,<br>
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:<br>
<a href="mailto:matt.doyle@mail.house.gov" target="_blank">matt.doyle@mail.house.gov</a><br>
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.<br>
Thanks for your patience and diligence.<br>
Nathanael<br>

Dear list serve participants (and those that receive these emails<br>
from them),<br>
<br>
As Justin said in his August 15th email, as we all boycott Goodwill<br>
and prepare to demonstrate on Saturday, August 25, it is important<br>
for us to remember that our final goal is the passage of the Fair<br>
Wages for Workers with Disabilities Act to end an outdated practice<br>
that is unfair, discriminatory, and immoral. Thanks to those who<br>
have contacted Senator Blumenthal’s office requesting his support<br>
by introducing a companion bill in the Senate.<br>
<br>
To date, Congressman Joe Courtney is our only Congressman to<br>
co-sponsor H.R. 3086, the Fair Wages for Workers with Disabilities<br>
Act. We are asking members who are in other Congressional districts<br>
to call their Congressperson urging their co-sponsorship of this<br>
important legislation. Below is contact information:<br>
<br>
Congressman Jim Himes office:<br>
Emily Cardon, Legislative Correspondent<br>
<a href="tel:202-225-5541" target="_blank" value="+12022255541">202-225-5541</a><br>
<br></div><div>
Congressman John Larson Office:<br>
David Sitcovsky, Senior Legislative Assistant<br>
<a href="tel:202-225-2265" target="_blank" value="+12022252265">202-225-2265</a><br>
<br></div><div>
Rosa DeLauro Office:<br>
Matt Doyle<br>
<a href="tel:202-225-3661" target="_blank" value="+12022253661">202-225-3661</a><br>
<br>
Right or wrong as it may be, I think we’re all in agreement that<br>
Chris Murphy isn’t focused on Congressional work at this point,<br>
and we should wait until he may be elected to the Senate in November<br>
to approach him for support.<br>
<br>
Nathanael Wales has been in touch with Congresswoman DeLauro’s<br>
office on a regular basis concerning this issue. However, we have no<br>
one contacting Congressmen Himes and Larson. Members in their<br>
districts are encouraged to make calls please. For more information<br></div>
on this topic, visit website.<div><br>
