Re: DC PROTESTERS - PLEASE CHECK IN!!!!

[Guest guest]

Terry, I just got home now. I hit the protest for a few hours this

am, but work was calling! I have pics if you want I'll email them to

you. About 40 people yesterday and when I left today about 25 with

more expected. No media coverage as of 11am today. I'll write

something up and post it here. All in all, it was worth it, even with

the low turnout. I can tell you that we are on MANY tourists videos!

Congressman Fergusons(NJ-R) Senior Aide came out yesterday to speak

to the group(we had arranged that ahead of time) and he was visably

moved by the stories.We're pushing him to sponsor a bill in the house

similar to the Grassley/dodd bill. Consumers Union sent out two of

their lobbyists out to meet everyone. They're currently working on

the " Prescription for Change " campaign, which is lobbying for the

Grassley/Dodd bill on congress. State that were represented were

N.J., N.Y.,Mass,Montana,SC,Texas,Alabama,California(I'm sure there

were more, but I can't think right now. Juveniles for Justice were

also there. The Torkalsons were there also.

We really need to get more attendance for more visibility,but this

was a good start.

> Will someone (lsyorke, etc.) who is in D.C. please check in this

morning and let us know how it is going? Any media bites? Where

exactly are you located? I am trolling around for " newstip " email

addresses for a wide variety of media and letting them know about the

protest. (Heard from CNN - standard form letter - blah, blah,

blah.)

in DC, who is there, new stories, something to get people's

I didn't know that was available. I'll get some up tonight, but in

the meantime you can see them at my site and a running report. We

still have a member in Washington.

Was in DC today, will be there tomorrow. CU was

there, talked to a few people. A reporter was there

also, but I dont know who she represented. Nick took

his friend Lori, they enjoyed protesting, and they met

Mr Ben Stein. He took a few mins to talk to the teens.

He said he supported them in their cause. It was one

of the highlights of their day. Another highlight was

meeting a tourist who now lives in spain. He came from

Columbia, and was visiting with friends. He wanted a

Photo of the group, and he asked if he could pose with

us. I handed him a sign, and he was thrilled. He asked

to borrow it, and he walked up and down in front of

the White House, and his Spanish friends took photos.

He thanked us and explained he would NEVER be able to

do that in Columbia.

Not a good report on everything that happened, but

it took us two hours to get home, and It is midnight.

I will get a report out again tomorrow if no one else

does.

Maggs.

Maggs, what time did you get there today? Yesterday we have a

videographer from Noll(sp?). He's a radio personality from the

NY area. He's also done a documentary on " Drugging the children "

which isn't out yet.
