[Ohio-talk] FW: Legislative Alert - Quiet Car Call to Action

[Barbara Pierce]

J.W. asks me to put this notice on this list. You will see if you trail down
to the O's that the only Ohio members who are on the quiet cars bill are
Steve LaTourette and Tim Ryan. This means that the rest of us have quite a
way to go. This is what Jesse says:

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.
