Hi Everyone,
When we were in Washington for the seminar we all worked diligently to get
our representatives and senators to sign on to H R 734 - the Pedestrian
Safety Enhancement Act. Please read the following e-mail from Jesse Hartle
and pick up your phones on Monday morning or even over the weekend to do
your best to get more co-signers. I just left a voice mail message with
Congressman Wexler even though I was trying to Get John Mica's office. John
Mica apparently does not have voice mail. We want to see many more senators
and representatives signed on to this vitally important initiative from
Florida so please do your part and please read on past my signature.
Thank you,
Kathy Davis, President
NFBF

Subject: Urgent Legislative Alert on The Silent Car Legislation
Fellow Federationists:
We continue to move forward in ensuring the success of the Pedestrian Safety
Enhancement Act, H.R. 734. Currently 89 members of the House of
Representatives are listed as cosponsors of this legislation (please see
below for the current list of cosponsors). Earlier this week Congress
passed the Omnibus Appropriations Act. Included in that legislation was
funds for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to
study the problem addressed by H.R. 734 and report to Congress. If Congress
feels it is important enough to appropriate funds for this study, Congress
should also direct NHTSA on how the study should be carried out. I
encourage you all to call your member of the House of Representatives and
urge them to cosponsor H.R. 734 which would do just that. Democrats will
want to contact Congressman Towns's office, while Republicans will want to
contact Congressman Stearns's office. The contact in Congressman Towns's
office is Emily Khoury, and James Thomas is the contact for Congressman
Stearns's office. The number to the Capitol switchboard is (202) 225-3121.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and I will do my best to
answer them. I have listed my contact information below. Thank you all for
your continued hard work on this important issue.
Sincerely,
Jesse M. Hartle
