Sav425 « Previous | Next » Mike, I am Patty McGill 's Assistant. She is in Philadelphia at the International Parent to Parent Conference, presenting and drumming up support for the IDEA campaign. So I thought I would to a little more drumming at this end. Thanks for sending the Action Alert for New York to your list. Yes, there will be more hearings in Tennessee, San Diego, and Washington, DC. The one in Florida next week should be very interesting since it is a two day meeting. We will be publishing out reports as we get them from the meetings. It is hard to get a census of what is happening. I hope the parents realize that ALL parents are in this together. This is going to be a battle. There are a lot of whispers of what could be happening to IDEA but nothing to publish yet. Parents and consumers of IDEA need to write their testimonies and send them in to their Congressional representatives, the committee members, the President, the President Commission Members, Mr. Pasternak, Mrs. Lee. Hollye Doane from NDSS is collecting letters to take to the Hill in bundles. Her address was on the Action Alert. Too often parent letters are not recognized. Parents need to have fax and e-mail parties and flood offices. Have writing campaigns. Congressional fax and e-mail addresses can be found at www.Congress.org We need to have the Senator's tell the advocates to tell the parents to stop the letter writing campaign that they get the message. It has happened before. We have to be relentless. Thanks for all your help and hard work, keep it up Anne Patty's helper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
