[Nfbc-info] Call your Congressman about the quiet cars act

[Mary Willows]

Hello Californians,

The following is a message from Jesse Hartle with a call to action about 
quiet cars legislation.  Please read and start making phone calls on Monday.

Congress will be returning to Washington for a lame duck session beginning 
on Monday, November 17.  We should take this opportunity to continue our 
work on building cosponsor support for H.R. 5734, the Pedestrian Safety 
Enhancement Act of 2008.  Adding cosponsor support to this legislation will 
be extremely helpful when we reintroduce this legislation early in the next 
Congress.


            Currently 80 members of the House of Representatives are listed 
as cosponsors of this legislation; I have included the list by state below 
this message.  We should start to make calls to our representatives on 
Monday, November 10, and urge them to join as cosponsors of H.R. 5734.  You 
should continue to make calls until Congress adjourns.



You may be connected to your representative's office by calling the Capitol 
switchboard at (866) 727-4894.

 If your Congressional representative is not on the list get your chapter 
members to call this week.



Thank you,

Mary Willows, President
National Federation of the Blind of California
