[nfbmi-talk] Fw: [Chapter-presidents] Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act

[J.J. Meddaugh]

We currently have no one from Michigan on this list.
Let's get to work.
Kilde, Upton, and a couple of others I'm sure are good candidates to get on 
board.

Fellow Federationists:



             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.



             Members of the House of
Representatives can be added as cosponsors of
H.R. 5734 by contacting either Dana Grayson in
Congressman Towns' office, or James Thomas in
Congressman Stearns' office; Democrats will most
likely contact Congressman Towns, and Republicans
will generally contact Congressman Stearns.  You
may be connected to your representative's office
by calling the Capitol switchboard at (866)
727-4894.  If you believe that your member of
Congress is likely to join as a cosponsor of this
legislation, please contact me; I have listed my
contact information below.  Thank you very much
for all of your hard work on this issue.
