Did anyone else get a call from Arthur Delaney today?

Hi,

I received a phone call today from Arthur Delaney of the Huffington Post. He wanted to talk to me about the state EB program and the effect that NC's inaction has had on my life.
We talk for a few minutes today and he is calling me back tomorrow.

I will be on record both times. Should I mention that I have been trying to contact the PA legislature as well to get the 3 year look back passed there? He could choose to quote that and it might look bad if someone important reads it.

What do you guys think?

Don't go there with Pennsylvania. You can talk about the efforts put into getting legislation that Pennsylvanians put in but I don't think it would be good to let him know you helped, it might come across in a way that would make us look bad. Your still my boy/man though!

I agree dazed. If even one state legislator that is on the fence about us thinks all the calls he is getting are from out of state activists then that could send him the other way. I will talk about other states but not mention that I am working for a result there.
