Just wanted to update on the WASP Bill!

This is SO exciting!!! There are now MORE than the required 2/3 Senate Co-sponsors on Senate Bill 614! Thank you to ALL who contacted their Senator! Currently there are 68 Senators in support!--one more than actually needed for the 2/3 majority! Of course it would be wonderful to have 100% of the Senators on board, but the focus NOW is the HOUSE.

The Bill in the House is HR 2014 and currently there are 188 co-sponsors and we need 102 more! That sounds like a LOT but remember there are a total of 435 Representatives in the House!

SO---the new plea..CHECK THIS LIST: Bill s.614 Honoring the WASP with a Congressional Gold Medal ...if you DO NOT see your House Rep. on there, please contact them!!

If you are not sure of your Representatives info, you can go here: Contacting the Congress

Remember the big picture here. "OUR" WASP were civilian girls, who volunteered their service! They did what was thought of as a "man's" job! They did it WELL. They did it with PRIDE. They did it for their country and their love of flying. Then they quietly all went home--at their own expense, with little to no thanks. They were/are an amazing group of gals and we owe this to them!

Please contact your Representative and ask them to support HR 2014.
