    As a nation, we honor TV dinners every March, catfish every June and ice cream every July. Yet there is currently no national day of recognition for our first responders.

    The First Response Coalition is working to right this wrong, and is calling on you to help us give our heroes the national day of recognition that they deserve.

    Please visit the FRC website and sign the petition to make September 25th "National First Responder Appreciation Day!"

    Your efforts to give our first responders a national day of appreciation is working!

    Washington Congressman Dave Reichert has introduced a resolution designating September 25, 2007 as National First Responder Appreciation Day!

    In order to get the resolution to the House floor for a vote, we need to make our voices heard! Go here (http://www.fixtheradios.org/campaign/nfrad_petition3) and send a letter to your Representative TODAY urging them to:

    1. Support the call for a National First Responder Appreciation Day by signing on as a co-sponsor of H.Res.592.

    2. Urge their colleagues to support the resolution.

    3. Help bring the resolution to the House floor for a vote as soon as possible.

    Thanks for the ad Steve.

    Good luck to FRC on their efforts. I spent many years as a first responder, both volunteer and paid-- it's about time they had a voice!

    P.S. I am in DC, and have done lobbying on the hill in the past - anything I can do to help, let me know.
