[ISLMA-Share] URGENT: Last Push THIS AM for "Missing" LSTA/IAL Signatures

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Senator Duckworth has not signed the IAL letter of support. Please contact
her and ask that she support federal funding for school libraries. The
Innovative Approaches to Literacy is the ONLY federal program that is
directed to spend half its funds on school library programs to improve
literacy.

Her DC office number is (202) 224-2854 the preferred telephone number. If
busy, try
Chicago Office number 312) 886-3506 or
Springfield Office: (217) 528-6124

Signatures

Dear Colleagues:

The message is that Sen. *Reed has extended to just 2PM EASTERN* the
deadline -- one last time -- by when Senate offices may contact his staff
to say that they will sign either or both of the "Dear Appropriator"
letters for LSTA and IAL that he must deliver to the full
Appropriations Committee tonight.  These are the final hours in which we
and our members can make an impact on the Senators most likely to sign at
the last minute.

*Please use the ALA Legislative Action Center
<https://cqrcengage.com/ala/?0> AGAIN to contact or recontact these
Senators "missing" from either or both letters* and tell Sen. Reed's staff
that they will endorse the letter or letters they have not yet signed.
Senators agreeing to do so MUST have their staffs indicate that they wish
to sign by contacting Elyse_Wasch at reed.senate.gov for LSTSA and
Moira_Lenehan at reed.senate.gov for IAL.  The have only until 2 PM Eastern to
do that.
Many thanks for all your help to date and for this *last push this AM at
the mostly Democratic Senators we have a chance of convincing*.  Two tables
 showing separately whether they have signed for LSTA or IAL follow.  (Some
will be missing from both.) Thanks again!

Adam
