How about a directed campaign of letter-writing to everyone's local newspaper with an email sent out in advance to all media outlets, particularly those in Washington? This would create buzz. Also, would there be any benefit in contacting local offices of Members of Congress, to ask their opinion on who we can contact in the hope of making an impact?

I suggest also, trying to contact celebreties, who get a ton of press and who have no qualms, usually, about speaking out. Maura Tierney, who is an actress and who starred for years on ER, has a new series out now and she is all over the media, having just battled breast cancer too. A letter to a group of celebreties who have been through what we are going through might gain some momentum - especially when this is cancer awareness month and there's a lot of press-coverage for cancer topics. It couldn't hurt to try, I think.

Is there anything that I can do from Canada to help out?
