I’ve only seen a response from two directors that letters have
been sent to their representative.
If you haven’t sent your letter to your representative, please do
so ASAP and copy John.
Also let me know that it has been sent.
This applies to all officers, directors and vice directors.

Greetings,
While in
In the House, our priority is to ask all members to
cosponsor H.R. 462. I have attached a general letter that you and your
grass roots people can send to all members to request their
co-sponsorship.
Further, we will focus on 64 members (55 Energy and
Commerce Committee Members, 9 leadership members) with a more detailed letter
to request their support, co-sponsorship, and passage in Committee and on the
floor. I have attached a draft letter specifically for those 64 members
we are targeting. Janet has provided a cross-reference of the Division
Directors with those 64 members we are targeting.
Division Directors should coordinate with DLACs, LACs,
LAAs and members to get these letters sent to all Representatives, and to the
64 House members we are specifically targeting. Our goal is to have as
many letters sent to the House Member as possible. Chwat’s office
needs copies of each letter sent (then when we visit their offices, they can
present the letters to the appropriate staff, to redouble our efforts).
In addition to getting the letters generated, Chwat will continue to meet with
the 64 targeted members to educate them about the issue and request their
support and co-sponsorship. Again, it is imperative that Chwat is copied on all
letters.
To complement sending the letters, it would also be
helpful if some of you could try to arrange meetings with the Congressmen/women
in their district offices to discuss H.R. 462. Most members travel home
on the weekends, so you could request meetings then. Since that time may
not be ideal, meetings during the week can be arranged during the
“District work periods.” Members should expect to be home in
their districts the week of May 28 – June 1 (Memorial Day), and July 2
– July 6 (4th of July), and throughout the month of
August.
If you have any questions, please let Dave or me know.
