Jon Stewart... Not a diva. Here, he pitched in to lift a 9/11 responder's motorized wheelchair over a wall at the Capitol.
John Stewart again did the hard work of helping to get 9/11 health care for first responders. John sits with John Feal of the Fealgood Foundation and Kenny Specht, co-founder of The New York City Firefighter Brotherhood Foundation.
Jon Stewart working with us again today speaks with Senator Lindsey Graham about 9/11 health care
The meeting we could not comment much on has ended. The meeting took place with 4 members of our group and Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell. We can state that each committee (4) and now the senate majority leader have committed to a permanent health bill. We can not get an agreement on paying for the health portion of the bill. There seems to be agreement on the compensation portion. Calls to senator McConnell's office can be halted for now as we have his commitment. Though we are stating to hold further calls as of now, please understand that we may need your help in the very near future.
4 members of our team are taking in a very important meeting at 10:30 this morning. At this time we are unable to comment further other than to ask that phone calls to the office of Mitch McConnell continue thru this afternoon. Please be firm yet respectful.
Ask for him to support permanent health care extension. 202-224-2541

While we know our friends have contacted Mitch McConnell's office, we ask that contact be continued tomorrow but that contact remain respectful.
We are working a few angles that can not be commented on yet, but we will advise you of any progress by around 11 am tomorrow.
The requested continued contact to his office is important in our cause as is our ability to ask it to be stopped if progress is made.

Rep. Upton is 100% on board and is issuing a statement backing permanent reauthorization of 9/11 health care.
Off to meet with Chairperson Fred Upton (Michigan) to see if he will issue a statement saying his committee (House Energy and Commerce) supports a permanent and fully funded reauthorization of Zadroga.
As far as Mitch McConnell, we took in 2 meetings today.
The first meeting was with a large group and there was a bit lost in translation.
The second meeting was only 4 of us and it was at this meeting we requested a one on one with the Senator.
We do not yet know if our request will be granted.

Please keep the calls coming to Sen. McConnell. We are going to his office this very second. He's partisan to a non-partisan bill.
His actions are unacceptable
