Hi Robert, Yes, the bill will be re-introduced by Dianne next legislative session. There is still one week left in this session but it doesn't look like the bill is going to move in the next week. As you know, the main problem here is Speaker of the House Finneran. So, if you are thinking of a strategy on how to convince Finneran to let the bill come up for a vote next session, you may want to consider doing a campaign in Finneran's district (Dorchester) to try to get his constituents to contact him in support of contraceptives coverage. I think that's the only way we will ever get through to him! Good luck and let me know what's going on and what I can do to help!

Author: http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert (robert) at INTERNET Date: 7/24/00 8:51 AM Hi. I went to the ZPG meeting yesterday and "they" wanted me to get more information. Basically, they wanted to know whether Diane Wilkerson was planning on reintroducing this bill during the next legislative session. Also, what's happening on the Coalition for Reproductive Choice (or whatever it was/is called). I'll be at Mass NARAL on Wed and I'll be asking them, too. Thanks.
