[il-talk] Fwd: IL Co-Sponsors on HR 3086

[Cathy Randall]

Patti,
  If I can be of help on Rep. Schock let me know.  I talked with his J'ville 
staffer, Barb Baker about this ages ago.
Just let me know exactly what you want me to do.
                                                                             
    Cathy

> By way of an update, IL has five cosponsors of our Fair Wages for worker's 
> with Disabilities.  Please call to thank these five members of congress. 
> Also, we need to schedule meetings in the district with other members to 
> encourage them to cosponsor.  We have specific information on some 
> congresspeople which is also included in this summation.
> These five are cosponsors:
>
> Gutierrez
> Jackson Jr.
> Manzullo
>
> Quigley
> Rush
> We have also been working on this from our national office.
> Here is other additional information:

> Representative Danny Davis; we met with Jill Hunter Williams recently.  . 
> This was a positive meeting where we had a good open discussion. She has 
> heard concerns from workshops against the bill, that being said she was 
> very much interested in meeting with us and open to hearing what we had to 
> say. She wants to look into this further. Hearing from constituents in 
> support of the bill will definitely be helpful.
> Representative Judy Biggert; the new person we met with is Griffin Foster, 
> and I think we had a good initial discussion with him on Tuesday. I think 
> we are more likely to be successful than with Brian, but we need to follow 
> up effectively. In that meeting we specifically talked about having people 
> from Illinois and the Congresswoman's district call and send emails in 
> support of the bill. The more of that we can get the better chance we will 
> have at success, and having the Congresswoman cosponsor would be a major 
> step for us.
> Representative Jerry Costello: We met with Stu Megaw on 5/18. This meeting 
> was a generic neutral one, so we should follow up as much as possible so 
> that they take it more seriously and come to a decision.
> Representative Aaron Schock: we met with Margie Almanza on 5/15. This was 
> a fairly neutral meeting; she's mainly interested in the business 
> perspective on the bill so we need to work on this one.
> Representative Bobby Schilling: we met with Brian Smith on 5/15 and this 
> was another pretty generic meeting.
