Hey That is absolutely great! More power to Lewis and Clark!!!!

To those who weren’t able to go have you written letters  supporting our 
bills and proposals yet?
Action is needed now while law makers remember us being there.

Subject: [Nfbmo] Jefferson City Seminar results

Hi all,
      10 members from the Lewis & Clark  chapter in St. Louis attended the
2011 Jefferson City Seminar held February 21  and 22 to meet our elected
representatives to advocate for the  Missouri affiliate's legislative
initiatives.    Our legislative and budgetary solutions to deficits in 
accessible
educational resource and rights of disabled parents were overall very
well-received.   A sizeable proportion of the lawmakers we met with  are 
very eager
and willing to support and cosponsor our legislation, and a  gratifyingly
significant group of them expressed interest in sponsoring - and  crafting -
legislative solutions with us in the future.

     Thanks to Brian Wekamp and the Governmental  Affairs Committee for
providing the framework for what we hope will be a  successful session for 
the
Missouri NFB legislation.

Lewis & Clark members in attendance were:
Susan Ford, Bill Franklin, Jerry Wilson, Brent Ford, Cari Kness, Dan
Flasar, Jim Moynihan, Randy Carmack, Diana Dawn and Chris Tisdale.

     I would like to add that the Lewis &  Clark chapter beat all others in
terms of  providing  the largest  delegation for this years Jeff City
Seminar, proving once and for all that  motley assemblages of political
malcontents can be quite effective when  encouraged to march in the same 
direction.

Now, let's go get 'em,

Dan Flasar
Lewis & Clark Chapter
