Thanks for sharing the article!
I saw that cjsavoie mentioned a few weeks back that you had a meeting tentatively scheduled for the following Friday with one of the legislative liasons on your list in the contact the state dept effort to get LBPs in front of them per the Lantos letter. Perhaps this in not the best place to ask, but did that meeting happen and did anything positive come out of it? I may have missed what happened on the forums being away with school stuff the last 2 weeks.
