grammy - you are leading the way and inspiring us all!

I've been waiting to hear how it went today. Super bummed that I couldn't join you all. It would have been more fun than sitting at the doctors in pain. Hope to make it next time, at least I got my testimony letter into the senators. Besides a great turnout, how did it go????????

[oregond56]

this article is a very good description. most all of us left the capitol for a great gathering at "lefties", great music and food for a couple hours after. it was a good day!.

Lots of strong pro testimony and the evil doers (Serenety Lane etc.) were not very well prepared in my opinion.

3 cheers for rancher for repersent'n the SOUTH end, its a cryin' shame we, and east side have so far to travel for these events, however I am happy to see we, (South End) had a face.... :D

THANKS!!!!......

(speakin' of faces.....mine looks a little bent outta shape for some reason!!!...) :blink:

It truley was an excellent turn out for todays hearing on SB 423..an important bill for sure and one that we should support in any way we can.......

There are days when patients and advocates butt heads on issuses and proposals........but it was not this day...on this day rancher and I shook hands and stood united with the rest of you who came today in defence of patients rights.

The statement we made to the committee will take some time to see how they decide on...but the statement we made to each other today by comming together as one voice in defence of patients rights should give us all incentive to become even more involved in the issues that may affect us as Patients, Caregivers, Growers and advocates.

My hat is off to each and every one of you...great job everyone... :thumbsup_anim:
