[NLA] NIFL Letter in House -- Signon Update

[Jon Randall]

I just got an update from Rep. Sawyer's office. The following 21
Congresspersons have agreed to sign the letter so far:

California ... Bob Filner; Juanita Millendar-McDonald; George Miller
Illinois ... Lane Evans; TIM JOHNSON; RAY LAHOOD
Kentucky ... ANNE NORTHRUP
Massachusetts ... Barney Frank; Edward Markey
Michigan ... Dale Kildee
New Jersey ... Rush Holt
New York ... JOHN MCHUGH; Edolphus Towns; JAMES WALSH*; Anthony Weiner
Ohio ... Stephanie Tubbs Jones; Thomas Sawyer*; Ted Strickland
Pennsylvania ... Joseph Hoeffel
Texas ... Max Sandlin
Washington ... Rick Larsen

Because you've generated so many leads, Reps. Sawyer and Walsh have agreed
to give everyone a couple of extra days to follow up with those you've
contacted who haven't yet signed on. They'll give us until Wednesday or
Thursday. I'm hoping we can get at least 44 Congresspersons to sign on -
that would be more than 10% of the House.

So if your Congressperson is on the list below, please follow up.

California ... RANDY "DUKE" CUNNINGHAM; Susan Davis; Anna Eshoo; DUNCAN
HUNTER; DARRELL ISSA; Barbara Lee
Connecticut ... John Larson; ROB SIMMONS
Georgia ... JOHNNY ISAKSON; John Lewis; JOHN LINDER; Cynthia McKinney
Illinois ... Mark Kirk; John Shimkus
Iowa ... TOM LATHAM
Louisiana ... William Jefferson; DAVID VITTER
Maine ... Thomas Allen; John Baldacci
Massachusetts ... Michael Capuano; Stephen Lynch; James McGovern; Marty
Meehan; Richard Neal; JOHN OLVER
Maryland ... Benjamin Cardin; Albert Wynn
Minnesota ... Martin Sabo
Missouri ... TODD AKIN; ROY BLUNT; Richard Gephardt
Montana ... DENNIS REHBERG
New Hampshire ... CHARLES BASS
New Jersey ... Steve Rothman; JIM SAXTON
New Mexico ... Thomas Udall
North Carolina ... David Price
Ohio ... JOHN BOEHNER; STEVE CHABOT; DAVID HOBSON; ROB PORTMAN; DEBORAH
PRYCE; RALPH REGULA; PAT TIBERI
Oregon ... Earl Blumenhauer; David Wu
Pennsylvania ... Robert Brady; William Coyne; Mike Doyle; Frank Mascara; DON
SHERWOOD
Rhode Island ... Patrick Kennedy; James Langevin
South Dakota ... JOHN THUNE
Tennessee ... JOHN DUNCAN
Texas ... HENRY BONILLA; LARRY COMBEST; Lloyd Doggett; Gene Green; Sheila
Jackson Lee; Silvestre Reyes
Vermont ... Bernie Sanders

(For Mr. Sawyer and Mr. Walsh, Republicans are in all caps. They're going to
follow up with their Colleagues too.)

Thanks for all your hard work! Keep it up! Let's get 44!
