FIRST – AN MMA UPDATE FROM SENATOR HATCH’S OFFICE:
We are currently at 48 co-sponsors after Senators Moran (KS) and Scott (SC), both Republicans, co-sponsored last week.
SENATORS CLOSE TO SPONSORING:
Maine – Senator Susan Collins – (202) 224 – 2523
Nebraska – Senator Deb Fischer (202) 224 – 6551
Alaska – Senator Lisa Murkowski (202) 224 – 6665
Minnesota – Sen. Tina Smith (202) 224 – 5641
THERE ARE STILL REMAINING ISSUES:
1) Blackstone – language getting hammered out, waiting for sign off. Still no Senator Cruz
2) Senator Wyden Bill – RIAA waiting to hear on a compromise proposal
3) Senator Gardener and SIRIUS – Liberty Media – wants Hatch office to talk to Sirius
