Thomas Topping and I still plan to come from Cedar Rapids.  I'm an old
Minnesotan.  Weather like this?  Bring it on!

Importance: High

 

Greetings, This has certainly been an exciting week here in central Iowa and
it has all over the Midwest. We have had two major snow storms, a major snow
squall, lots of wind and did I mention cold? This all has taken increased
effort to get things done but we have prevailed.

 

First of all, our Legislative Day coming up this Tuesday is still on and is
looking very promising. We have no cancellations so far that we know of so
we will proceed as planned. If because of the extreme weather or other
things that you can't control requires you to change your mind about coming
please let us know as soon as possible. Next, we may have some press
coverage because of the political events of this week and who knows what may
come of that. Third, we have added a third person to our committee and we
welcome Helen Stevens to help lead our legislative efforts.   Some of the
staff from the Secretary Of State's Office is planning to come talk with us
at our gathering Tuesday morning which is an opportunity we are looking
forward to. 

 

Finally, as you already know our accessible prescription labels bill has
been introduced in the Iowa senate by Brad Zaun and has been assigned to a
subcommittee. We are still working on the mobile voting bill that we plan to
get introduced. We are looking forward to getting together with the Iowa
D.D. Council Tuesday morning with approximately 11 Federationists and going
over to the to the Statehouse that afternoon. If you have any questions or
comments, please let us know.
