Support for the bill has been growing in both the House and the Senate. Despite this support from both Democrats and Republicans, the survival of the bill this year is in jeopardy. The Bill has been included into the “Build Back Better Plan” currently being debated in both houses of Congress. This reconciliation plan is subject to a great deal of streamlining, in order to reduce the cost of the bill and in order to gain support from various Senators and Congresspersons. Efforts will be made to remove the ATAA from the reconciliation bill if we are unable to show enough support for the vital piece of legislation<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">By contacting our Senators and House members and expressing our support for the inclusion of the ATAA in the final versions of the Build Back Better Plan, we can help the bill survive. One way we can show our support is by attending virtual meetings tomorrow, (Wed. November 3<sup>rd at 2:00 PM</sup>), and Thursday, (November 4<sup>th at 11:00 AM</sup>). We were fortunate enough to secure appointments with both Senator Rubio’s and Senator Scott’s legislative staff in order to express our support for the ATAA and to provide the staffers with important information about the bill.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I will provide the links for both meetings in this email, (below), so please hold on to this call in information until both meetings have passed.
