I remember you went, but it's really cool to read about your day to day experience of it, and how you came to feel heard.

It is nice to read about someone's encounters up-close-and-personal with legislators being an overall good experience.<br />My own experience has left me jaundiced. I worked for a time with a state medical society...so I did some lobbying on behalf of the members of the organization. The maxim -- two things you don't want to see being made: sausage and laws -- resonates with me. It's a messy craven process.<br />The common good? What's that.<br />So, your enthusiasm and positive experience, all the while your remaining clear-eyed, is very refreshing. And even hopeful for me.KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17343988.post-163234064031687422016-05-12T07:52:36.701-05:002016-05-12T07:52:36.701-05:00This seems like quite the heady experience.
