[NLA] Breaux-Hatch NIFL Letter -- Co-signer Update: 19

[Jon Randall]

Late yesterday, Sen. Breaux's office confirmed that Sen. Corzine & Sen. Bond
have in fact agreed to sign the NIFL letter. However, Sen. Murray's office
may have told a constituent yes, but hasn't contacted Sen. Breaux's office
yet. Another call from the great state of Washington to Bethany Little in
Sen. Murray's office might help.

Great to hear about Sen. Snowe and Collins! I told Sen. Breaux's office to
be expecting their calls. Please make another round of follow-up calls to
each - if they've agreed you can say thanks and if they haven't you can ask
if they've contacted Mallory in Sen. Breaux's office yet.

Louisiana folks ... Sen. Landrieu should sign on - she needs to ensure her
supporters turn out on Saturday!

Keep making calls! We've got 3 days remaining, counting today. I set a
rather ambitious goal of 30. Lets see how close we can come as we head down
the home stretch! Let's bring more of the folks from the bottom list to the
top one.
