I was reading through the listserv and noticed the southern reps were not
included on the list in the email... but they are not a supporter of the
bill. I don't really think it would hurt to contact them even if they
aren't typically a supporter. Let's let them know where we stand.
I did screen shot of Illinois so you don't have to click on the link to see
if your rep is a supporter already or not.

Hi all,
I’m reaching out to you for a last minute plea to get more signatures on
the House “Dear Appropriator” letter supporting LSTA. *With just two
business days left after today to get House Members’ commitments to sign
it, we are 24 signers short of last year’s LSTA letter supporters total and
this year we fear we will need to double that total! *
According to our real-time online tracking tool
<https://airtable.com/shruwZPRyL5f2CbQS/tbl3v3Ts6KMDMSyJ1>, many Democrats
in your key states (California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts,
New York, Washington) are not yet on the LSTA Dear Appropriator letter. (We
are focusing on Democrats in larger states as they have historically
provided the bulk of support for LSTA in the past.) *With the window for
signatures closing as early as Monday April 3, we need you to reach out
again TODAY to those Democrats in your state listed below* who have not yet
signed the LSTA Dear Appropriator letter and ask that them to contact staff
to Rep. Raul Grijalva (David.Gellman at mail.house.gov) to add their name to
the letter NOW.
You know how important LSTA is to your state. *We need you to reach out to
your people yet again* to generate as many calls, emails and tweets to
these offices as humanly possible today, tomorrow and on Monday of next
week!
*We also need you personally, on behalf of your state associations, to use
the phone numbers listed in our online tracker to speak personally with the
listed staffer to each of the House Members noted below* to ask directly
that their boss sign the LSTA Dear Appropriator letter. Please leave voice
mails but *keep calling *until you reach them or they reach you back!
We’re almost out of time and failure in this effort may well mean deep cuts
in, or even the elimination of, LSTA funding for FY 2018. We cannot and
must not fail.
Thanks for again for pushing every way you can and doing it now!
