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.
