Here is the latest update from Congressman Upton's office on our progress on the "Dear Colleague" letter. There are around 50 CONFIRMED cosigners. Many may be unconfirmed, (or in the process of doing so) but it is clear that we have a long way to go before Friday. Representative: S. Brown Olver Mascara Hayworth Meehan Berman Boucher Evans Gilman Lampson Lofgren Morella Norton Underwood Stark Weygand Delahunt Hooley Stupak Engel Farr Furse McNulty Rush Filner Frost Ackerman Boehlert Quinn Talent Gallegly McDade Campbell Doolittle Coyne Tauscher Sandlin Eshoo J. Lewis Shays Abercrombie Green Bilbray Stupak Baldacci Costello Clayton From my calls, I have also had "positive contacts" with the following offices and expect them to confirm soon(but they are as of yet, unconfirmed). Representative: Bentsen Boswell Bereuter Clay Clyburn D. Davis DeFazio DeLay Dicks Dunn Dingell Emerson In making my calls, I have found that it really helps if you can offer to fax staffers an original copy of the letters so they don't have to go digging through the piles on their desks looking for them. It just so happens that I have such an original copy and would be happy to fax it to any office that any of you indicate I should in order to help expedite the process. Just call 1-888-331-4NPF (4673) and tell me the office and the name of the person you spoke with. If you get my voicemail, please leave any such information on the recording and I will take care of the rest. As always, please call or reply with ANY questions. Bill Turenne, Jr. NPF/ Washington
