Where I become a Lobbyist
Tomorrow, I have a very busy day. I am going to NY State capital of Albany to Lobby for open records. There is a nice petition and web sight about the NY fight here.
I have never lobbyed before, so I have basically NO CLUE what I am doing, but I am still really excited to do it. Thank God, I am going with "pros'
I have printed out business cards with my name, the link to here, AAI, Origins, and NIARA..and quoted "the truth shall set you free"..and a very nice picture of a mother and child.
We have a "packet" of information that is prepared already, and appointments with legislators, etc.
I don't know what to wear!!! I don't know where to park!! and I have not thought very hard about what the heck I am going to say. And I have to work at 6!! hahahahahhaha Ok that's not too laughable, I the last appointment is at 4..so it's doable.
So expect nothing brillaint from me tomorrow..I'll be at the capital!
Man, I have to get up EARLY!! ouch!

ReplyDeleteWonderful!!! Have a great time. The business cards are a very good idea!!! Gonna pass that one along to my group of IRL mothers.
ReplyDeleteThe pre made packets are helpful.
I'm sure you'll do a great job and be invigoarated by the experience.
Good luck, Claud! Open records is a cause that I so strongly believe in. I am greatly distressed to report that it looks like it is going to be voted down in my own state...it completely and totally sucks.
ReplyDeleteCoolio.
ReplyDeleteYup, biz cards are a GREAT idea.
Have fun. Do good. What could be better?
Have a great day!
