Aude - Thank you!! If there is anything we can do to help out, please let us know. As I said, when I was informed, I was deeply disturbed. I can't speak for everyone here, but myself and I am sure many other women/men on this list, have your back on this. Whatever you need, please let us know.
Would it help if people from this list shared their opinion on the D.C. mailing list? Or are you guys basically on it? (I want to help you guys, not make it harder or more annoying). If so, I might actually write something up, and ask that those that are on this list sign it (if they want to of course). THANK YOU AGAIN!!! Very refreshing and inspiring to see this being nipped in the butt.
