I trust all is going well.
Just wanted to give you a little update.
1. I will be in DC all of next week in order to do
the final prep for our march on Congress July 17-27th. In addition to
various organizations I am visiting to enlist support, my lobbyist and I
will be personally visiting all 535 congressional offices. Most will be
on a cold call basis (always adventurous), but some will be through
appointment.
It would be helpful if you could call, email or fax your reps and
tell them to support congressional reform - no more bundling bills, and
let is see that final version of the bill long before the vote. This
will help me to be more warmly received so as to make our case.

2. In just a few short weeks, we have gone from a few dozen petition signatures to almost 10,000.
I am pleased with this, but the fact is that we need a lot more.
Each of us has more than a dozen friends who haven't signed the
petition. If you could make a point to call 4 of your friends
and get them to sign it, that would be very helpful. I want to double
the amount of signatures by this time next week (June 14).
3. We are working on contacting activist
organizations and media to enlist their support and we are making good
progress with these. But our progress and number of them in our database
isn't large enough. I am wondering if you would be willing to help
gather them for this cause? We would supply you with a link to a list
of organizations and then you copy/paste the contact info into an excel
file (and if all of the info isn't available on that site, you would go
to the activist's or media's website and find it).
4. I have been doing media interviews and it has
been going very well. I should have counted but I believe I've done
more than a dozen in the last two weeks. This is starting to ramp up.
Already have 13 scheduled for my return from DC. We mostly twitter and
FB about the media interviews (times and places), because it is so much
easier.
There is your update!
Thank you,
Jerrol
