When I spoke to the Senators aide, of course it was the same "lack of
numbers" She said that very few people actually showed up in support of
the bill. I reminded her that the majority of women currently involved
were breastfeeding infants and that their circumstances made it very difficult
to spend the day "on the hill"
I suspect that a petition signed by as many women as possible (remember, it
needs to include ss#s and cities) would be helpful to offs set the poor
showing. Just an idea.
