I, too, have been surprised by the lack of response. >> I join Murray and Bob in there expressions of a lack of apparent interest in the PWPD Conference in Miami. I am not suprised but by last count only 28 people requested a copy of the agenda to consider contributing their thoughts to a delegate. The set up of arrangements for the conference with other delegates and the organization at home to be away and to travel to Florida has taken a major committment of energy which I am tring to parcel out as advanteously as possible. I would like to think that some collective good will come out of the activies to benefit PWPD directly. As an aside Cspan2 in Syracuse ran a one hour show by the professional grass roots coordinator for the gun control lobby.( one of if not the best grass roots lobby organizations) The presentation had several good comments on grass roots lobby techniques. I only caught the last 20 minutes of the show. Did anyone by chance see and tape the show? I am tring to getr a copy. Thanks Dale
