Greetings, Jesse,

This is indeed an encouraging news, I  commend your dedication and hard 
work in this endeavor.

Illinois has  always been on the frontline on this issue, in fact, on all 
the bills in the  Congress, and will remain committed until it becomes law.

I urge you to  kindly provide the status on the other bills as  well.

Sincerely

Syed
