Great buddy,

Did you contact Maria?
I met with her yesterday, will follow up to just confirm on the same.

Are you around the area, we could go together next time if possible

I contacted Amy Kelbick(Legislative Senior Assistant) who's incharge of Rep.Foster's immigration related positions and this was her email reply to me.

Cool thanks.

I will reach out to her as well, could you provide her email address?

After listening to you people, I sent a personalized email to my representative's office requesting him to co-sign the letter. Whatever helps.

Great,

May be we should all be calling irrespective of a constituents or not.
At least to raise awareness

Thanks for the update

I have tried calling Rep Matt Cartwright's office. I never got to legislative aid but left the message. I called one more time for support but not sure if that's happening

Left a message and sent an email to David Cicilline's office requesting him sign the letter. Although I am not his constituent but my workplace falls in his district. His name is on the list, so I took the chance. Hopefully he will co-sign the letter.

called Rep. Grijalva AZ office and sent email, as per the staffer Raul suports the letter , but he was not able to tell if he signed it or not.

I got a call from Congressman's Ashfords Legislative Assistant Jen Piat in response to my email on the 'Dear Colleague' letter to them. Was informed that they were supportive of the initiative but the cogressman was more in favor of comprehensive immigration reform. I also mentioned about H.R 213. Apparently they were not aware of it and mentioned that they would look into it.
