2. Continue contacts with your local media about Guidelines impact on you/family/friends- You have sent dozens of letters to newspapers and a number have been published. Mention petition please. A number of Guidelines articles have appeared, too.
3. Continue VERY IMPORTANT STILL- Contact (phone/email) all of your FEDERAL legislators: your own US Congressman and your two US Senators by November 15 at Washington, DC office only. The contact should be with current legislator, NOT any newly elected who do not take office until new year (actions may take this session still so need support of current legislators). Groups should contact all Congressmen within their range (area they cover). -
