Hi all. Random thought. (VJ Admin, if I'm off topic, wrong thread, let me know where to post.)

....and...drumroll.....I'm a complete idiot and forgot that I grew up two streets away from a house rep for Indiana.

Just shot him a quick email begging for help and his contacts and reminding him that he totally drove me from the airport in LA. (Hey anything helps, I grew up with his brother and we were on the same plane, he was heading to play college Jeopardy. Super random.)

Thoughts: Think about random connections you have, do you know ANYONE, anywhere, that we can reach out to on a personal level?

I'll follow up and ring the house rep in the morning.

Side note: So along with the New York Times reporter (if you're not on the other thread, we spoke today, she's slammed because of the decision but still wants to write an article on the centers and our issues, we're touching base next week), I spoke with the Ombudsman Liason, explained everything and she agreed to bring the issue to the head of the department to see if they can legally file a complaint. She emailed back to confirm she received the files and that she was able to open them.

Stef has something in the works with a contact in Washington and the others are continuing to be proactive.

Who do you know? Ask around, you may not know anyone, but someone you're friends with may. Ask them. Let's get some personal connections going. :)

Best,

Kristin

I already tried to see who I know...but as I am Canadian it is limited...so so far no one useful.

Hit up everyone I thought could maybe help but so far no.

Will have to check with my wife but I'm thinking not.

Also wanted to boost your topic so others could see.

Thanks,

Brent

I know nobody of use and never really have. Closest I ever came was in Canada we had to go to the ER and had a relative physician call ahead to streamline us and cut down the wait. The place was so empty I have no idea if that even accomplished anything.

Good luck!
