[NLA] Breaux-Hatch NIFL Letter -- THE FINAL DAY!

[Nancy Hansen]

Jon,
This has been incredibly difficult for us to connect with the staff in our Senators' offices with the Thanksgiving holiday and session's conclusion, but I think - at noon anyway - the  letter to collegues had been read and the content deemed important by both Senators Johnson and Daschle from South Dakota.  Whether or not their signatures made it to the letter is unconfirmed.  
What we did have happen, though, is a verbal show of support for the work we are doing with adults in our community through this first-time contact with the LA in the Johnson office.  We have been asked to continue to keep in touch.  We will continue to nuture this relationship.  Senator Daschle's staff knows us a little better and has a level of trust for our work.  We have had a great relationship with them for a couple years now.
So keep up the good work - keep us all informed about what is happening at what time so that we can speak with knowledge to those who make decisions on our behalf.  More than willing,
Nancy Hansen
Sioux Falls, SD

Republicans! That would add advocates from ME and PA to those on the Honor
Roll with 2 stars. One more bunch of calls to each of them might make the
difference.

The office of Bob Graham (D-FL) also called Sen. Breaux. Calls to Sen.
Graham might make the difference here too.

Everyone, everywhere, please make one more call today. Let's get as close to
30 as we can!

Best,
Jon
