[nagdu] Law Regarding Attacks on Service Dogs

Fri Mar 21 20:25:47 UTC 2014

Passle,
	Please write to me off-list to

president at nagdu.org

It is not my intention to meet you on the Hill; rather, it is my intention
to visit those who are willing to sponsor such a billwhile I am in D.C. on
other NAGDU business. Please write to me and provide me with the names of
those who seem interested in sponsoring such legislation so I can meet with
them. Thank you very much!

Marion

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
