[il-talk] Let's Get 3 More

[Rose Sloan]

Dear Rockstars (Otherwise known as the Illinois Affiliate):



Well done. Congresswoman Bustos will be the 97th cosponsor of HR 831.



We need just three more to get one hundred and I propose we get three more
Democrats from Illinois. My targets are:



Dan Lipinski

Louis Gutierrez and

Bill Foster.



Mr. Lipinski became a friend of the NFB's when Dave famously wrote an op ed
about how difficult it was to secure a meeting with this office.  He should
not be difficult to get to sign on.



Mr. Gutierrez was cosponsor of The Fair Wages for Workers with Disabilities
Act of 2011 (HR 3086) last Congress.  He should be an easy sell as well.



I do not know much about Mr. Foster, but he was not a Member of Congress
last term, but he was a Member of Congress from 2008-2010, and then got
elected to a different district later on.



My main question is: have we had district meetings with these offices?  If
so, I would like an update.  If not, I urge you to please schedule these.
Mr. Lipinski and Mr. Gutierrez are Chicago representatives.  Mr. Foster is
a suburbs guy.



I look forward to the update, and I will be in touch soon about strategies
to get these gentlemen on board.



Yours in the fight for fair wages,



Rose
