H.R. 3240 Int'l Child abduction prevention Act - NJ Reps

[familygal]

Does anyone know if there is a Summer break for Congress? .. like there was a two week spring break for them.

It looks like Congress is not in session July 5 - 11  (July 4th is a Sunday) which is their Independence Day District Work Period and August 9 - September 12, which is their official Summer District Work Period.  Both houses resume September 13th.  I assume this means you could still reach them at their District offices.

FYI... if anyone wants to send Rob Andrews (1st district NJ) an e-mail, you can use the following address (in his district):

Berlin, NJ 08009-1687

... still pushing to get more NJ reps to support HR 3240 and hres1326 before their summer break...

Oh .. and if anyone wants to send an e-mail to John Adler (3rd district) they can use this address:

Cherry Hill, NJ 08003-1109

.. maybe he'll pay attention if the e-mails come from his district ?

I talked to Kalina from Congressman Stephen Rothman's office.. and he has agreed to sign on for HR3240 and Congressman Chris Smith's office has been contacted to add his name to the list. (YEA!@ :yeahthat)

However, we won't see his name on Thomas.gov until congress is back in session next week

It's wonderful to finally see a new name on that list.  Great job
Phillyone.

That is great news that he's finally listed  :biggrin

Now just to get the Chairman of Foreign Affairs to do something in regards to HR 3240 and HRes1326.

Brandy Bond and I met with Ron White of Congressman Forbes (R-VA): we initially went in with a proposed VA bill but he doesn't handle that so we pitched HR3240 instead - White is looking at it and will brief rep Forbes on it with a view to being a co-sponsor.

We'll keep you posted.

Karl, I've heard that before from Congressman Forbes office "He'll look into it" .

But maybe your presence will make more of the difference than my phone calls (from out of state ). Let's hope!

[pam.in.ny]

Karl, Thanks for the update. I do hope that thay your presence does make a difference.

Does anyone know if we have any chance of moving H.R. 3240 forward with a lamb
duck congress? I know we discussed it more than likely won't happen but I was
just curious if anyone has heard any more news.
