Default Advocacy begins when least expected!

It must be a slow news day in Dallas! I was called at noon by the anchor of the local ABC affiliate here to see what we thought about the comments Rush made. It seems she had called our local PD group to see if our members were upset by Rush's comments. Our executive director said" Well as a matter of fact....."

After a very brief conversation the anchor asked if she could bring a camera man and come to the house to talk to Kevin & I about PD. Naturally we said that was great. They arrived at 1:30Pm and stayed for over an hour. We talked about PD, the uproar, the political issues etc - but in short we had a chance to get some mention of PD in the local news and that's a plus. We showed them this website and they filmed some the the comments made in some of the threads here.

The show will broadcast in two hours so it will be interesting to see what comes of it. Hopefully it will be their lead story and not not just a 30 second spot. We just want to let you know that all the hoopla has created some interest this disease. You just never know when you might have a chance to be an advocate!
