  1. Thank you, Helene, for your steadfast commitment to seeing the Deadline removal through. I’m proud to be one of your 10. ?? Tammy

    P.S.. I left a voicemail with Mike and was not able to get through to Mitch last week. Will call again.

  2. Follow Up – Not able to get through to Mitch’s DC office, again. Left follow-up voicemail at Mike’s office. Asked for call back.

  3. Got through to a staffer in Speaker Johnson’s office today. They were polite and assured me all calls are tallied and that I would receive an answer back. Keep the calls up!
