[il-talk] We need more calls

[denise avant]

Hello,
I JUST called and asked to speak to Mr. Adair. I was told he was unavailable. I left my name, and telephone number, the fact that I lived in Chicago Illinois and was a member of the National Federation of the Blind of Illinois. I asked that he call me back so I could speak with him about the sub-minimum wage issue.
>From the tone of the receptionist, i think Sen. Kirk's staff is aware of who we are. But if I do not receive a call by the end of the day, I will call back. And if I can't, i will call tomorrow morning.
