Powerful idea Floyd! Setting up a booth at the Missouri Association of School Librarians to enable attendees to write to their Congressmen seems like a very effective and creative way to underscore one of the ways AASL works for the profession while involving them in the process, i.e. the association is only as powerful and effective as members make it. Beyond that it initiate a communication process for some that has not occurred before -- there are those who talke about writing to their congressional representatives but do not follow through. I have an additional suggestion. I would hope that some, if not all of our legislators have email addresses. Providing a list of these names and email addresses would help people communicate online with legislators. If possible, set up a computer in the booth that would people send messages online right on the spot. Marjorie Pappas Wright State University Dayton, OH mpappas@wright.edu
