I just wanted to make sure this item didn't get lost in the shuffle.
From Mara Keisling of NCTE:
"Tonight [October 9, 2007] our amazing ally the Equality Federation told us that they have documented over 14,000 individual contacts to members of Congress. That's just the contacts we know of. Tens of thousands of transgender people and our allies have reached into their hearts and mobilized to make the case for transgender rights and LGBT unity. Almost 300 organizations have chosen to stand with us and attach their names to our joint effort."
