The Lobby Days page of our website has now been updated to include a photo of this year’s participants and what they had to say about their experience. When Congress headed into recess on September 19th we had already gained 21 cosponsors as a direct result of our days on the Hill, bringing our count to 91! You can view the list of cosponsor here.
If your Representative is not yet a cosponsor this is a perfect time for you to persuade him or her. Please request a meeting at your Representative’s district office while he or she is home campaigning during October and early November!
Talking points and FAQ’s are available on this concise two-page document. The number to your Representative’s office can be located here, and be sure to print and take this Congressional Information Packet with you.
Thank you for your continued support!
