[NLA] Breaux-Hatch NIFL Letter -- Final Count: 29 Co-signers!

[Jon Randall]

Our goal was to secure 30 co-signers and we delivered 29! I wouldn't let on,
but I had my doubts we'd do this well. Thanks to everyone who wrote letters
and made calls!

Congratulations and a star on the NIFL Senate Letter Honor Roll to advocates
who got their Senator to co-sign the letters to Secretaries Paige, Thompson,
and Chao.

Advocates from the following states deserve two stars on the Honor Roll: NY,
CT, RI, MA, NM, ME, and SD. A big CONGRATULATIONS to you! You delivered BOTH
of your Senators.

With the results of the NIFL letter campaigns in the House and Senate, we
now have a roster of who our friends are - with whom we've either newly
cultivated or renewed our connections. This will serve us well in the coming
months.

Way to go everyone!
