[NLA] Breaux-Hatch NIFL Letter -- The Final Week!

[Jon Randall]

We have *one more week* to gather signatures for the Breaux-Hatch NIFL
letter in the Senate. Our goal is 30 co-signers. There are 19 thus far.

If your Senators are not on the co-signer list below, please call your
Senator's legislative assistant education. If you don't get to speak to him
or her, leave a message and call back every day this week until you get
through. Be polite but explain that this is important and that his or her
boss only has until Friday to sign on.

Let's see how many other states' literacy advocates can join those of NY,
CT, RI, and MA will two stars on the NLA honor roll for having delivered
both of their Senators to the co-signer's list.

I'll post the latest co-signer's list as soon as Sen. Breaux's office
provides me with an update.

Thanks, and keep up the good work! Our work on this is not done until both
of our Senators are on the co-signer's list.

Best,
Jon
