public communications they are issuing.</div>

Hi Carolyn, Kelley, Fred & everyone,<br>
<br>
PLEASE DO NOT PUT THIS OR ANYTHING ABOUT OUR UPCOMING MEETINGS AS PART OF WASHINGTON SEMINAR ON FACEBOOK OR OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA UNTIL AFTER GETTING APPROVAL FROM OUR PRESIDENT, DEANNA, & ESPECIALLY NOT BEFORE OUR MEETINGS!<br>
<br>
I generally liked most of the presentation, BUT, this could be like an ‘open mic’. It could have serious repercussions on & for our Representatives & Senators in ways we can not imagine. It could provoke press interest before they or Deanna are ready.
<br>
I think this should be discussed more & any & all such interviews should be carefully vetted before being put out to the world.
<br>
<br>
Like the Hippocratic oath says, “First do no harm.”<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Deb<br>
