Where I become a Lobbyist

March 13, 2006

Tomorrow, I have a very busy day. I am going to NY State capital of Albany to Lobby for open records. There is a nice petition and web sight about the NY fight here.
I have never lobbyed before, so I have basically NO CLUE what I am doing, but I am still really excited to do it. Thank God, I am going with “pros’
I have printed out business cards with my name, the link to here, AAI, Origins, and NIARA..and quoted “the truth shall set you free”..and a very nice picture of a mother and child.
We have a “packet” of information that is prepared already, and appointments with legislators, etc.
I don’t know what to wear!!! I don’t know where to park!! and I have not thought very hard about what the heck I am going to say. And I have to work at 6!! hahahahahhaha Ok that’s not too laughable, I the last appointment is at 4..so it’s doable.
So expect nothing brillaint from me tomorrow..I’ll be at the capital!
Man, I have to get up EARLY!! ouch!

Musings of the Lame was started in 2005 primarily as a simple blog recording the feelings of a birthmother as she struggled to understand how the act of relinquishing her first newborn so to adoption in 1987 continued to be a major force in her life. Built from the knowledge gained in the adoption community, it records the search for her son and the adoption reunion as it happened. Since then, it has grown as an adoption forum encompassing the complexity of the adoption industry, the fight to free her sons adoption records and the need for Adoptee Rights, and a growing community of other birthmothers, adoptive parents and adopted persons who are able to see that so much what we want to believe about adoption is wrong.

    Good luck, Claud! Open records is a cause that I so strongly believe in. I am greatly distressed to report that it looks like it is going to be voted down in my own state…it completely and totally sucks.
