Update on KDAE for Linda Bethea August 5

By Linda Bethea posted 08-05-2009 17:10

  
Finally, I have a visitor scheduled for KDAE week.  The mayor of Greenwood, Louisiana is giving us a proclamation and wants to visit a dialysis unit.  I am feeling encouraged.  I am going to call the Shreveport Mayor, my two senators, and my representative.  There is no escape for them.  If they won't visit or send a staffer, I am going to visit them.  How is everyone else doing?  Everyone I asked said they would get back to me. I am starting to feel like I don't have a date for the prom and may have to get my cousin to take me!   Ah Ha!!!  I am getting a call now!!!  Linda Bethea

My peskiness is paying off.  Numerous phone calls, faxes, and emails have finally brought responses from 2 senators and 1 representative.  I haven't been called a stalker yet, but am being very careful not to sound threatening.  No one I have talked to yet made references to my many invitations, just finally agreed to schedule.  Don't give up!!!  Linda
