[nfbmi-talk] HR 164 Update

[Jason Meddaugh]

Anything close works for me as for my name grin.
As an update, Rep. Gary Peters is now on as a cosponsor for HR 164, which is 
well over 50 cosponsors now.
Thanks for the nice comments on Washington Seminar, it was a great 
experience this year.




Thanks much,
J.J.

So I did not know whether it was still OK to call you J.J. since your 
signature block and email salutation say Jason now.
I have always felt that the Washington Seminar is one of the most powerful 
events in the Federation; not just because it results in so much positive 
movement in the Congress, but because it is so effective at building strong 
teams within affiliates.  Sounds like this year's experience was as positive 
as ever.  Let's hope that we can bust that sub-minimum wage proviso right 
out of the Fair Labor Standards Act once and for all.  After all, a few 
things may have changed around here since 1938 when it was put there in the 
first place.

Thanks to you J.J., and to the whole delegation:)
