Fellow Federationists:



            I am writing to update you on our efforts to gain cosponsor
support for the Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act of 2009 (H.R. 734 and
S. 841) in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.  H.R. 734
currently has 130 cosponsors, and S. 841 has 9 cosponsors.



            I have listed all cosponsors below by state.  We only have
one week left to work on this issue before Congress adjourns for the
August recess.  I am asking you to make calls next week, July 26-31, to
your senators and representatives to urge them to join as a cosponsor of
this important legislation.



-- Senators can be added to S. 841 by contacting Doug Frost in Senator
Kerry's office; and

-- Representatives can be added to H.R. 734 by contacting either Emily
Khoury in Congressman Towns's office, or James Thomas in Congressman
Stearns's office.



            You may be connected to your members of Congress by calling
the Capitol switchboard at (202) 225-3121.



            We must continue to build on the progress that we have
already made on this issue (thank you) by working hard next week to add
new cosponsors on this legislation.



            Also, please contact me with any questions; my contact
information is listed below.



Sincerely,





Jesse M. Hartle
