PROJECT: HR 1940 International Child Abduction Prevention and Return Act of 2011

(1/18) > >>

LukieD:
As many of you may already know, Congressman Chris Smith re-introduced his bill on international child abduction on the eve of the May 24th hearing. The bill has a new number and name, although it is very similar to the 2009 bill which had been introduced in the previous Congress (HR 3240).

Of the original 48 co-sponsors, 11 are no longer in Congress so we have 37 carry-overs (listed below) who were co-sponsors of the last bill. Certainly we should focus on asking them to co-sponsor the new bill in addition to reaching out to other members of Congress.

We'll be checking in with Chris Smith's office this week to find out what, if anything, is different about the new bill. Stay tuned.

For starters, I'll concentrate on the  NJ congressmen on Lukied's list... as well as my new congressman Jon Runyan... I know he can catch the football very well, but hopefully he can co-sponsor HR 1940 too!! (For those who don't know, Jon Runyan is the ex-Eagles offensive tackle..) RIP John Adler my previous congressman...

ANALE:
I sent out e-mails yesterday to my congressman/woman here in NY.

I'll start sending a letter a week to my rep to get him on board.  He never signed on for 3240, and I am hoping he does not think I disappeared  :biggrin

pam.in.ny:
Count me in. I've been itching to get started. :)  :biggrin
