Dan Lipinski, until last year was reluctant to see us, and now he has 
cosponsored both of our bills. This is indeed amazing!

Illinois has definitely made a huge progress in legislative action, and the 
national office does accknowledges that. I strongly believe that, 
persistence, perseverance, and patience always pays off.

Hatts off to your leadership, Patti.
