We have to start educating our local, county and state officials before you can see real change. The video was well thought out. Congrats.

your.rep@mail.house.gov EMAIL ALL OF THEM

I like putting that in the subject for all to see.Thanks and right on that one toothfairy. I , after signing the online petition got the 'replies' from various state/fed rep officials. If you know your officials, shoot just GUESS- like 'john.doe@mail.house.gov' and if you don't get it kicked back then ' it went' so I replied quite desperately to all of them and didn't feel one ounce of guilt AND guessed at any other rep I KNEW and forwarded my story, shoot just do the 'one' story, get it down, and one time is all you need, then keep sending, and sending! Oprah hears from me weekly, but it's different every time with her.

We have to be drastic to be noticedDevil

Please take this advice as personal experience and not that of a medical professional. Sometimes experience is what makes us learn and help one another. Take the pieces you need, and always question, ask, with an open mind and heart...[/b]

For those of you in New Jersey http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/members/legsearch.asp

All others if you type in (your state) legislators you will get a similar page. Lets flood their offices so they cant turn a blind eye.
