    Thank you, littlesista. I called my rep and senators' offices and had good conversations with staff in each office. I plan to fax a reminder note on the 7th to each office, asking to be sure that the office sends someone to the hearing. One senator is Debbie Stabenow, who has a great track record with women's health issues, so my reminder will also include the request that she learn about the bill so she can be a sponsor for the senate.  

    You've done a lot to keep everyone informed!
