Act of 2009


Fellow Federationists:



            I want to update you on the latest information regarding 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 continues to
gain support with 123 members of the House listed as cosponsors.  S. 841
now has four cosponsors in the Senate.



            I have listed all cosponsors below by state, so you will
know how your state is doing in building support for this important
legislation.  I am asking for your hard work to increase these numbers
before we have our National Convention in July.



            Please make phone calls to your senators and representatives
and urge them to cosponsor this important legislation for all
pedestrians.

*
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.



            Your calls will make a difference in building support for
this legislation, and I know that you will work diligently to increase
our cosponsor numbers.



            Please contact me with any questions you may have.



Sincerely,



Jesse M. Hartle
