Recently, Senator John Kerry (D-MA) introduced S.841, The 
Pedestrian Safety
Enhancement Act of 2009.  This is a companion bill to H.R.734.

Please call your Senators to ask him-her  to cosponsor.  This is 
another
positive move as the dialogue surrounding the dangers of hybrid 
vehicles has
spread to the Senate.

Having said this, there are now 112 cosponsors of the House bill.  
Please
continue calling your members to ask for cosponsorship.  Your 
members will be
back in their districts around Memorial Day so this is an 
opportune time to
schedule appointments to meet with them during this district work 
period.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or 
concerns.  The list
of cosponsors for the Senate bill and new cosponsors for the 
House bill are
below.



Best Regards,





Eric
