There has been a LOT of talk about this
issue lately, especially on the
AZlactivist yahoo group |
|
11:02:49 |
Host_Housepoet |
I urge you all to join up and get up to
date on what YOU can do to help get this
law passed in AZ |

and fax the coucil people of Chandlar |

Here is an email from one of the women
spearheading the movement: |

hanks for your post Chandra regarding
both cities! I just wanted to add a
little comment. I do not think it is a
3/3 split vote at this time. I think
it is very likely going in our
direction. Don't get me wrong...we
need everyone to write, call and show up
Thursday night to make sure evrything
goes as planned. I have been
personally talking with council members
and it really looks like we may have
this one. People need to call Lowell
Huggins 480-782-2200 specifically and
thank him for his support on this
issue. He is our fourth vote! All we
need is 4 votes! He was quoted in the
paper in support of us and we need to
use positive reinforcement with him to
make sure he doesn't change his mind
before Thursday. Writing helps, but
calling him to say thank you personally
will be the key! He loves the praise!
And, he is very easy to talk with!
Please call him. Flood him with calls e |

I just want to put in that when the city
council was having a vote a few weeks
ago I emailed the council members |
|
11:05:40 |
Mod_ariana |
and I actually got replies from a few of
them!! |
|
11:05:46 |
Mod_ariana |
So they are paying attention to what we
say |

Hi! I can't stay online today - can
someone get a message to
nomentionofme"?" |
|
11:07:47 |
Janice |
I don't know here except from this
chatroom. |
|
11:07:56 |
Host_Housepoet |
Hey janice |
|
11:08:06 |
Host_Housepoet |
I don't know if she'll be in here today,
haven't seen her just yet |
|
11:08:06 |
Janice |
does anyone know how to contact her? |
|
11:08:10 |
Janice |
Hi! |
|
11:08:37 |
Mod_ariana |
I think she's on Live Journal I could
try and get a message to her |
|
11:08:40 |
Janice |
Last week she mentioned a Katrina mom at
a LLL meeting that wetnursed three
babies |
|
11:08:55 |
Mod_ariana |
Yes, I remember |
|
11:09:05 |
Janice |
I talked to a breastfeeding researcher
from Australia, who is REALLY interested
in talking to this mom |
|
11:09:26 |
Janice |
She would write up the case for a
medical journal. |
|
11:09:33 |
Host_Housepoet |
lets try and find her on lj shall we? |
|
11:09:40 |
Host_Housepoet |
Ariana you could post in BN and BF
looking for her |
|
11:09:50 |
Mod_ariana |
Yes, I'll try to find her |
|
11:09:51 |
sugarcoated_poison_apple |
wow, that's really great |
|
11:09:58 |
Janice |
and that way the mom could be assured
privacy, and lots of Doctors and such
would read about it |
|
11:10:03 |
Mod_ariana |
I think I can remember her LJ name and
post a comment in her journal |
|
11:10:36 |
Janice |
And then after the journal article is
published, the researcher would get mass
media attention for the story |
|
11:11:05 |
Janice |
This would be really helpful for
promoting bfing in all these disaster
situations we are seeing this year |
|
11:11:17 |
sugarcoated_poison_apple |
aw ... off topic but amorette just fell
asleep on me nursing, and she's snoring
... i love breastfeeding. ^_^ |
|
11:11:44 |
Janice |
The bfing researcher is the Karleen
Gribble who just did the study on
extended nursing that got media
attention |
|
11:12:07 |
Janice |
She got quotes from older nurslings
saying nursing is better than ice
cream"" |
|
11:12:16 |
Mod_ariana |
Oh I remember that! |
|
11:12:22 |
sugarcoated_poison_apple |
aww! that's so sweet |
|
11:12:26 |
doulasteph |
I have finally realised thatwhenI
eatmyfavourite mixednutsMEaghan FREAKS
out the next day. HEr tummy gets so
upset. So no morenutsfor me! |
|
11:12:51 |
Janice |
So I just wanted to give this new
information to nomentionof me" to pass
on to the mom, to encourage her to come
forward" |
|
11:13:20 |
Janice |
And she could have complete privacy (if
she wanted that) and really get her good
deed noticed |
|
11:13:22 |

momsformilk@sasktel.net" |
|
11:14:28 |
Janice |

|
11:14:37 |
Mod_ariana |
I'll drop her a comment and let her know |
|
11:15:02 |

be cool for this to happen |

11:15:58 |

seriously, read the article |
|
11:17:06 |
Host_Housepoet |
it's sick |
|
11:17:09 |
Darcy |
Is this the girl on the View? |
|
11:17:13 |
Host_Housepoet |
"When I chose to formula-feed, it was
imperative to me that I find a formula
that provides my daughter with the very
best nutritional support available, Ms.
Hasselbeck said. "" |
|
11:17:28 |
sugarcoated_poison_apple |
mmm ... dha, ara, and msg! |
|
11:17:41 |
doulasteph |
That makesno sense....she talked aobut
nursingon the View |
|
11:17:53 |
Host_Housepoet |
apparently she's stopped |
|
11:18:01 |
Darcy |
Apparently. |
|
11:18:03 |
Host_Housepoet |
so, what I'm thinking is that we launch
an all out assault |
|
11:18:11 |
Host_Housepoet |
email, phone fax, t shirts, whatever |
|
11:18:26 |
Host_Housepoet |
becuase again, a celebrity mom is using
her status to hawk a product that can
kill babies! |
|
11:18:32 |
Darcy |
I think letters to the show would be a
good place to start. |
|
11:18:44 |
mwalton |
*sigh* you'd think they'd learn by
now..especially THAT program |
|
11:18:49 |
Host_Housepoet |
And it's not about The View this time,
its more about HER specifically. |
|
11:18:49 |
Mod_ariana |
I'm already boycotting that show |
|
11:18:57 |
Host_Housepoet |
Ha! I boycott all TV! :) |
|
11:19:00 |
jenni_Goes_grrr |
I had to stop watching that show.. Star
was like OMG BREASTFEEDING GAG"" |
|
11:19:04 |
Host_Housepoet |
I think that we should set up a website |
|
11:19:04 |
Mod_ariana |
NO WAY! |
|
11:19:07 |
jenni_Goes_grrr |
i wanted to kick her through my TV
screen |
|
11:19:08 |
Host_Housepoet |
and spam a lot of places, |
|
11:19:16 |
Mod_ariana |
Star has some serious body issues |
|
11:19:24 |
Host_Housepoet |
like

|
11:19:35 |
Host_Housepoet |
well you know what I mean |
|
11:19:35 |
Mod_ariana |
You're insane! |
|
11:19:42 |
Darcy |
Definitely it is about her, but the show
pays her bills. . . |
|
11:19:43 |
Host_Housepoet |
lets brainstorm some website address |
|
11:19:51 |
Darcy |
well, the show and her husbands NFL
salary. |
|
11:19:57 |
Host_Housepoet |
right, so why should she be getting paid
even more from the formula companies? |
|
11:20:11 |
Darcy |
That's a good question - why is she
doing the sponsorship? |
|
11:20:11 |
Host_Housepoet |
seriously, is that something that can be
researched? Like what her payment if
from the formula companies? |
|
11:20:13 |
jenni_Goes_grrr |
I want to be a formula spokes m odel |
|
11:20:27 |
Host_Housepoet |
