[NFBMO] FW: HR 620

Fri Feb 16 00:25:28 UTC 2018

Thanks for sharing the roll call vote. Disappointing that six of 8 of our Representatives voted for H.R. 620. Let's be sure to Thank Rep. Cleaver and Rep Clay for their support to defeat the bill. I was surprised at a few of the role call votes across the country from some congressmen that support other issues. Got to love Greg Harper!

I plan to contact a state Rep. to see if I/we can get a message directly to Senator Blunt regarding this legislation.

Sincerely,

Cory McMahon

I found it.  Doesn't look like the Missouri Republicans listened to us at all...  Very disappointed.
