Help Welcome Speaker Pelosi’s New Grandbaby!
this Came from the yahoo group momsmilkanywhere:
The group that helped organize the airport nurse-ins nationwide now has a
plan to help Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi become very aware that the
Breastfeeding Promotion Act is important to American women and that we
desire and expect her support of it in January. Rep. Carolyn Maloney is
going to reintroducing the Act this coming session. This will be the BPA’s
third introduction and if we all get behind it and make our voices heard,
perhaps the third time will be the charm!
Here’s what you can do to help:
* Purchase or make a “Congratulations on the New Grandbaby” card.
The Speaker and the press have made much of the fact that she is
a grandmother and that she was awaiting grandbaby #6 right
around Election Day. Paul Michael Vos, son of Alexandra Pelosi and
Michiel Vos was born in New York on November 13th.
* Write in the card that breastfeeding is a basic human right of all
babies and that their mothers need public policies that support
their decision to start and continue breastfeeding. Ask her to throw
the full weight of her position behind getting the Breastfeeding
Promotion Act PASSED this coming session.
* Have your friends, family, and fellow breastfeeding advocates sign
your card before you mail it to Speaker Pelosi. If you can, buy
several
cards, collect signatures from supporters, and mail them out with
your own. (I’m going to buy several and bring one for people to
sign whenever I get together with friends and family this month.)
* Lastly, forward this email to every mother, friend, listserv,
breastfeeding support group and parenting site you know so that
others can also send a card. The idea is to get hundreds if not
thousands of signatures/cards sent to Nancy Pelosi’s office right
now so that, by the time the Breastfeeding Promotion Act is
reintroduced in January, she and her staff will have it on their
radar.
