I just got my scholarship -thru email- for pan Februray 19-21. I can't wait to Defy W and tell his fellow gop croonies what I think of the way they treat the disabled people of America. Please god let me with Hasterat I can't wait to shoot down the gop myths behind the research and medicine we need. Why can I do that because unlike the opposition I have actually been to a stem cell lab. It's a good day and I am so psyched.

2. Thanks does the Ronald Regan airport still have the half an hour rule?

The one where the plane will be diverted if someone stands up a half hour away from the airport.
I am just wondering because I hate air travel.

14. They dropped in July but the pilots still announced it when I flew in Oct

It's no longer official but you will probably get yelled at if you do. http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/stories/2005/07/11/daily27.html?f=et87

6. Give 'em hell, Dan! Kick their collective asses!

Do you know who you will get to meet with? I'm sure Hastert will slither into his hole like the snake he is. I bet none of the GOP have the guts to meet with you to your face, but for your sake, I hope they will. Will you get to meet with Durbin and Obama again? Would you give Durbin a big hug and kiss from me? LOL! Ok, Ok. That's a bit much to ask...just tell him I love him to death, K? :7 Best of luck to you. I hope it goes well and I hope they actually "hear" what you have to say.:hug:

[DanCa]

11. I wont know untill the second day.

That's when they usually give us the fliers. Last year I might with reps from Obama's office, Jesse Jackson Jr, some woman I can't remembere (it wasn't bean) and Dick Durbin himself.
I want a challenge this time:D

7. Good for you! w00t!

I'm constantly hopeful that you can find some relief.

OT: Does it seem to you that people are developing chronic diseases at a greater rate than ever before? It seems like everyone I know has some kind of chronic or debilitating illness. Maybe it's just that I meet up with people who are ill because we end up moving in the same circles?
