Oh Janice,
 Thank you so much for  bringing to the attention of the group regarding emailing!  I know  many of you feel as professionals that no one will listen, since you  are fighting an daily uphill battle with breastfeeding, particularly  here in the USA.  But your emails do get noticed, especially if  the numbers are there.  I think calls do too because it takes up  more time.

  Numbers count.  Look where we might be if in the 50s and 60s if  more folks were walking around the hospital promoting breastfeeding,  instead of the pasteurized new fangled formula.  If the masses  start to see it as important, more will do it.  And the news  media, local and state governments have to be swayed too by numbers and  more numbers of email.  And while we cannot change the  commentators or the council members to change their views, they will be  at least silent on the subject since they want to please their  constituents and views.
  
  Take care,
  Pam.
