[Mn-at-large] [MN-at-large] Urgent Action Needed

[Rocky Hart]

Good  evening:
This  is  Rocky  Hart.
At  the  request of  our  affiliate  president,  I  have  just  contacted
Senator  Tina  Smith's  Washington  office  but  could  not  reach  her, as
it  is  most  likely  after  business  hours. I  left  a  message  asking
her office    to  contact  me  at their  earliest  convenience. Like  many
of  my  colleagues  in  the  federation, I  am  a  strong  opponent  of  H.R
620, which  would  undermine  our  rights  in  many  different  ways, and  I
appreciate  that  this  letter  has  been  circulating  in  the  U.S
Senate.  I  am  110  percent  committed  to  stopping  this  bill  in  its
tracks,  and will  actively    work  collaboratively  with  the  federation
to  do  so. If  any  of  you  have  any  questions/suggestions, please  feel
free  to  contact  me  at
rockyh at msab.state.mn.us
rockyhart1221 at gmail.com
or  by  phone  at  218-839-4544.  Let's  fight  to  protect  our  rights
under  the  ADA!!!!
Sincerely,
Rocky  Hart

Greetings fellow Federationists,

WE have been contacted by our colleagues at the national office about some
rapid response advocacy that is being undertaken over the rest of today and
tomorrow.

There is a letter being circulated in the Senate that expresses opposition
to H.R. 620 or any other bill like it. One of our Senators ­ Senator AAmy
Klobuchar ­ has already joined around 30 of her colleagues in siggning the
letter. Our other Senator ­ Senator Tina Smith ­ ha has not yet signed the
letter. We need to mobilize and flood Senator Smith’s offices with calls
and emails and urge her to sign on to the letter, which I have attached to
this message.

The person to whom we should direct our calls in Senator Smith’s
Washington office is her Legislative Director, Gohar Sedighi. If you call
her and let her know that we are urging Senator Smith to sign the Senator
Duckworth letter on H.R. 620, then she will know what you are talking about.
If she asks to see the letter then you can always ask for her email and send
it to her.

Senator Smith’s office phone numbers are:

Washington Office: (202) 224-5641



Moorhead Office: (218) 284-8721



Duluth Office: (218) 722-2390



St. Paul Office: (651) 221-1016



Rochester Office: (507) 288-2003



Thank you so much for your help. Together we can make sure Senator Smith
signs on to this letter and that H.R. 620 is stopped in its tracks.



All the best,



Ryan
