More good news. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-2), who was formerly my Rep. until he got redistricted, has also agreed to co-sponsor HR 4969. Matt, Chris, Dave and Dan may already be aware of this, but I wanted to share the news. Ill send an email to the MO-2 members asking them to thank the Congressman. Cliff K0CA From: Don Domina [mailto:stl_deli@msn.com] Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2014 11:35 AM To: k0ca@arrl.org Subject: MO-2 Cliff, I am glad you sent the MO-6 notification to all of us. I have had a similar result with my congressman. Blaine Luetkemeyer R MO-2 has agreed to co-sponsor HR 4969. His press secretary has been in communication with me. Here is the copy of an email chain I have. Her email address is Kristina.Weger@mail.house.gov and her direct line in Washington is 202-225-2956. I am certain she will verify the message if you wish. She has been very helpful on this matter. She recommended he sign on. I reminded the Congressman of the number of Ham Votes in MO and in MO-3. Thanks for your efforts =============================== August 18, 2014 Hi Don, I hope all is well. The Congressman is now a cosponsor of H.R. 4969. It isnt updated online because the House of Representatives is in recess until September but Ill email the relevant staffer the first week in September and let them know. Also, there may be other members like Mr. Luetkemeyer who has agreed to sign onto a bill but the 17 cosponsors wont change until the House is back in session. I just wanted to let you know! Take care, Kristina From: Don Domina [ <mailto:stl_deli@msn.com> mailto:stl_deli@msn.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2014 9:51 AM To: Weger, Kristina Subject: Fwd: HR 4969 Update Kristina, Just FYI. I have posted this to our group. I looked this morning and the list of co-sponsors is growing, and best of all its growing from both sides of the aisle. There is so little in Washington that people agree on, perhaps our small issue might be one. Thanks again and keep me posted.
