Since everyone is posting the petition I thought I would chime in here. I am a member of Pain-Heartache-Hope, a pregnancy and infant loss group on Yahoo Groups. Robyn Bear has been working for years on getting Pregnancy and Infant Loss Rememberance Day passed for some time now. She has been instrumental in getting so many states to recognize it and a couple of days ago put out an urgent request. I am going to post her e-mail here and maybe y'all can help!
"Urgent Phone Call Campaign
Just received an email from Jacob Parker at Congressman Latham's
office. We only have 1 week to get 11 more co-sponsors. Next weeks
is the last week congress will be in session until Mid-November.
It would be so wonderful to have this passed before October 15th of
this year. We really need your help, very quickly.
We need to start a major phone call campaign. If you can make a
simple phone call to your Congressman/Congresswoman please contact
me ASAP.
jovigirl@houston.rr.com Send me your zip code and I will make sure you have the correct
Washington DC phone number and will also give you a brief script to
go by for those who are not sure what to say.
This is really very simple and anyone who has even a small voice can
do this. Please help. Forward this to everyone.
IN 1 WEEK OCTOBER 15TH COULD BE PERMANENT!!!! Please email me ASAP
and make that phone call TOMORROW!!!!!!
We are so close. Please don't let this slip away. One phone call
could make the difference. I will walk you through every step.
Sincerely,
Robyn E. Bear"
If anyone would like to help out in the next few days calling your congressmen and women please e-mail Robyn ASAP!
