Calling Efforts

This week I have spoken to Congressman Oberstar and Senator Landrieu, they are both members of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption. There are a group of officials currently in Vietnam advocating for the "pipeline" families. Hopefully they will return with a good report. Both of my conversations were very positive, here are some quotes "We don't want the DOS to simply throw in the towel" I told them "you are saying everything we want to hear" Where should we focus our efforts. The reply was **continue to ask Our Senators and Congressman to sign the letter to Condolessza Rice.** On a side note, our last round of callings was what I would call a "dress rehersal" because of miscommunications, the letter at that point was not even drawn up, it was in very early stages. As of Last Friday, all parties agreeded on the "wording" and hopefully its typed and in route to be delivered. Any whooo, we should really do one more round of calling, at this point why not? My game plan will be to wait until Joint Council announces that the letter has been sent, maybe at that point it will be online for our review.

If you have not yet signed the online petition for BRING OUR CHILDREN HOME please do so now,(link above) the signatures are past 2500, good results, but NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
