[NLA] NIFL Director Letters to Congreesspeople -- update as of 9/23/02]

[David J. Rosen]

NLA Colleagues,

 From e-mail messages I received through today, at least the following
Congresspeople were sent letters urging them to sign on to the NIFL
Director "Dear Colleague" letter (and the Secretaries of Labor Education
and HHS were mailed copies.)  Please remember to _fax_ your 
Congressperson -- and _mail_ the secretaries.

Mark Kirk, 10th district in Illinois (2 faxes)
Michael Capuano, Massachusetts (3 faxes)
Barney Frank, Massachusetts (1 fax)
Ron Simmons, 2nd District, Connecticut (1 e-mail).
David Price, North Carolina (1 fax)
Anthony Wiener, Brooklyn, NY (1 fax)
Langevin, RI (Letter and call)
Patrick Kennedy, RI (letter and call)
Steve Rothman, NJ (Letter)
John Olver, Western Massachusetts (e-mail)
Russ Holt, NJ
Henry Bonilla, San Antonio, TX (fax)

Katie Shriver in Congressman Ted Strickland's office
(D Ohio) who, in a conversation, said she would contact Congressman 
Sawyer's office and get a copy of the letter so the congressman could 
sign on

called and wrote DeWine's office (Ohio) requesting that he co-sponsor 
the Dear Colleague letter

Ted Strickland (Ohio)
Ralph Regula (Ohio)
Timothy V. Johnson, 15th district (Illinois)
Albert Wynn (Maryland)
Bernie Sanders (VT) (2)
Jim Saxton (NJ)
Martin Sabo (Minnesota)
Sen. Arlen Specter (PA)
Benjamin Cardin (D-MD) (fax)




Total: 25

Thanks to these 25 people -- I hope others have sent faxes but
just have not e-mailed me yet. Glad to see Maryland, New Jersey, New 
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Minnesota, Illinois, Massachusetts, 
Connecticut, Vermont and Rhode Island.  Glad to see North Carolina, but 
where is South Carolina? Glad to see a contact to a Texas Congressman, 
but aren't there others on the NLA list from Texas who care about this 
issue?   Where is Georgia, Florida, Louisiana? Where are the northwest 
and southwest states? (California, Washington, Oregon -- there are NLA 
list members in those states.) Where are the other midwestern states? 
(Indiana, Iowa and others?) Where is Tennessee?

It's not too late.

Can you spare 15 minutes for a good cause?
