[Home-on-the-range] FW: National Federation of the Blind Applauds Introduction of Fair Wages Legislation

[Rob Tabor]

Good afternoon Maryse and list,

If I assume correctly, your question is can a list of our Kansas
Congressional delegation be provided with contact information for each
representative and senator. I have attached a list in an Excel file. This is
a work in progress, however, as I will be adding local office addresses,
addresses, and committee assignments. My current list has their dC office
contact information by phone, office address on Capitol Hill, and email. Two
other very useful sources of information can be found at
http://www.congress.gov/ and http://www.thomas.loc.gov/

Anyway, here is the attached list for starters.
Best to all,
Rob
