If they have, we encourage you to thank them for their support. If they haven't, this is the week to do so. We're hoping to generate one last push in the Senate for support of the LSTA and IAL letters.</div>

<div>We're told the deadline for signatures in the Senate is later this week. The deadline for signatures in the House has passed but some offices may still be able to sign on if they persist. See the links below for calling information and talking points for the House and Senate letters.</div>
<div><br>To all of you who have made calls over the past few weeks, we greatly appreciate your support. We couldn't be effective in Washington without your help. <br><br><a href="http://capwiz.com/ala/utr/1/MOYCTTGASD/GZBCTTGASQ/10282468736" target="_blank">FY15 Signatures (to date)</a> (pdf)</div>
