Hi Legislative Directors,

 

My apologies for sending out a difficult-to-read document.  Here is the same
material in an easier to read format.  

 

Congratulations on your advocacy during Washington Seminar.  I am happy to
announce that we are up to 62 co-sponsors on HR 831, and the following
Members of Congress have signed on since Washington Seminar.  If you
attended one of these meetings, I would consider writing a thank you note to
the legislative aide you met with.  

 

Rep. Nydia Velazquez (New York)

Rep. Jim Cooper (Tennessee)

Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee (Texas)

Rep. Peter Visclosky (Indiana)

Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (Washington)

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii)

Rep. Chris Van Hollen (Maryland)

Rep. Michael Michaud (Maine)

Rep. Daniel Maffei (New York)

Rep Renee Elmmers (North Carolina)

 

If you attended a very positive meeting and that Member is not on this list
(and didn't sign on earlier, please check www.Thomas.gov if you're unsure) I
encourage you to please follow up.  When you do, please cc me.  

 

In addition, I want to commend you for your work once again because we are
up to 10 co-sponsors on TEACH.  The following members have co-sponsored HR
3505 since Washington Seminar:  

 

Rep. Nydia Velazquez (New York)

Rep. Jon Runyan (New Jersey)

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (Texas)

Rep. Sanford Bishop (Georgia)

Rep. Chris Van Hollen (Maryland)

Rep. Richard Nolan (Minnesota)

Rep. Michael Michaud (Maine)

Rep. Raul Grijalva (Arizona)

Rep. Robert Wittman (Virginia)

 

If you had a positive meeting about TEACH and you do not see that Member on
the above list, please follow up.  When you do, please cc Lauren
(lmcarney at nfb.org).  

 

Good job, and keep up the good work!  If you have any questions let me know.


 

Take care,

 

Rose
