Remember, our bill must compete for attention with other bills demanding attention too. It took Caption Action 2 a few phone calls, emails, and office visits before our OWN representative's office responded.<br /><br />When Jamie visited Mark Bayer in Ed Markey's office, Jamie told Bayer how frustrated she was at the lack of response from her own Congressman. Bayer told Jamie to stop by her Congressman's office a second time. Jamie replied, "There's a fine line between asking and harassing." Bayer answered, "You don't seem like the type of person who would harass people." Jamie retorted, "That's what you think! I can be quite intense!" Bayer's reaction? "Good!!! You need to be intense for this!!"Jamiehttp://www.causes.com/captionaction2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759197423390637224.post-21124010073414016622009-10-11T14:59:22.786-04:002009-10-11T14:59:22.786-04:00Good question. as long as you are not harassing yo...Good question. as long as you are not harassing your representative's office, we believe it helps.

Please educate those in your community who do not know about the bill.Robert Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05419276476926579623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759197423390637224.post-20159828384967275982009-10-11T14:13:43.364-04:002009-10-11T14:13:43.364-04:00Many of us have already written our representative...Many of us have already written our representatives on behalf of Caption 2. Should we write again, or do it repeatedly? Does this help or harm the cause?Dianrezhttp://www.xanga.com/dianreznoreply@blogger.com
