I have to agree with Morris Gallo; we need to communicate to our

legislators via letters, fax, and phone calls (I don’t know if email is

effective either, but if you have already tried the previous three, then

this is just one more avenue).

So, I PROPOSE THAT WE ALL TRY TO COMMUNICATE TO OUR LEGISLATORS. At this

final hour, a grass roots effort is the only way we are going to be able

to get our legislators attention.

I have enclosed three links in this email to make the process easier:

* For a list of your Senators and their addresses, phone #’s, and

emails go to:

http://www.senate.gov/contacting/index_by_state.cfm

* For the same list of your Congressman, go to:

http://congress.org/capdir.html

* For information on how to communicate to your representatives (how

to address them in a letter, who to talk to in their office, how to

set an appointment, etc) go to: Capitol Hill Basics

I would also like to get a consensus of the main ideas we wish to convey

to our legislators so that we can make an outline or sample letter

available to the list. To get this started, I will propose the

following:

1. 1. Avoid controversy or attacking the Bills

2. 2. Support and give arguments for Language that advocates flat

educational standards, namely CAAHEP

3. 3. urge legislators to protect the disabled while they are at the

same time protecting medicare from fraud and abuse. (chooseing

CAAHEP does this better than leaving the door open to whomever the

HHS Secretary chooses).

4. 4. If applicable site the language in your state that supports

educational standards and Grandfathering.

If you are interested, please email me your ideas so that we can post

a consensus asap. That way, we won’t each forget one or two ideas when

we write.

Thanks,

Matt Bailey, CPO, LPO
