[QUOTE=Jones Act;38651]CALL YOUR HOUSE OF REP NOW, NOW, NOW and express your support of HR 5503. CALL NOW! Every CALL will matter[/QUOTE]
You will be VERY PLEASED to know that your letters and calls had a VERY positive effect and resulted in a super majority passage of H.R. 5503 allowing non-pecuniary damages to be considered as an element of damage when a seaman is killed on the job.
This is a very large step forward toward ultimate passage of this into law. The focus now turns to the Senate where the fight will be tougher but your calls and letters will be even more focused.
