[nagdu] Law Regarding Attacks on Service Dogs

Fri Mar 21 19:51:03 UTC 2014

Marion,

Thank you.  But my meetings are on 3-24-14 and 3-25-14 after the National Rehab Association Governmental Summit.  I have to speak on my states position papers first which has in the talking points "our state Rehab Council is asking for the formation of a National Service Dog Protection Law…….."

If you are the D.C. on March 24 it would be great to have you there.

Ginger has sent me handouts to hand to Senator Casey's legislative aide at 3:00 on March 24 and Congressman Glenn "GT" Thompson at 4:30 on March 24.

I am flying out tomorrow morning.  The Summit starts Sunday morning.

Please let me know if you will meet me on the Hill.  But, as you know, an appointment could turn into a drop off on the Hill.

I will back on the last flight into Erie, PA on March 25 via US AIR.

More later,

Passle
