<p class="MsoNormal">Now, when we contact Congressman Larson, Congressman Himes, Congresswoman DeLauro, and Congresswoman Esty, we can ask them to join Congressman Joe Courtney in cosponsoring HR 188. Please do not forget to copy me on all communications with
our legislators’ offices about our bills!<o:p></o:p></p>
