This old advocate's advocate is pleased beyond words to see our leaders joining up. I see sufficient harmony here already to generate optimism in the ranks.

An all-patients roster with as many names as possible is something that has worked for me in a much smaller population (non-traditional students at a state university). Being able to say we had 300 members instead of just the 25 that were active opened a lot of doors and bought a lot of chairs. I would be happy to see it happen without waiting for another expensive trip.

And 58 members of my mailing list agree with me. (Just as soon as I compile one, LOL.)
