CDRPA Status
Chaz, it was great meeting you and your Dad in Union Station! I really enjoyed my conversation with your dad and I know Matt enjoyed swapping stories with you. Hopefully, together we will make a difference!
I will follow up with Harkin's office tomorrow, and see if I can get an update. I too, was wondering what the status was. I'll let you know what they say.

Status of the CDRPA is that it has been introduced and read and referred to the appropriate committees. The more co-sponsors we can obtain, the faster it will be acted upon in committee and brought to the floor for a vote.
I was surprised to learn from my rep that he was unaware it had been introduced in the House in March. And, he was a co-sponsor last time around. Why is this? The war, the war, the war - that and a healthy handful of scandals have distracted lawmakers from domestic issues. So, it is our job to bring the CDRPA into focus. I am optimistic my rep will again be a sponsor, but I've work to do. Donna and Chaz-so good to talk with you both in DC. John

likewise guys...it's great to finally put faces with our online names. John -- you're right -- the war is just clouding over everything, my father and I have been following up with our reps and senators... but what's next? how we get appropriations for the bill once it passes?

Wayne Gilchrist
Well, the man came thru and the meeting was successful. Also, he was a "missed vote" on stem cells but pledged a yes vote
Alright, glad he heard us at our visit.
