October 1st 2007 Lobby Day was a success. Accompanied by Bruce Morrison and Paul Donnelly we visited 20 different Congressional and Senate Representative's or thier legislative aids. The overall objective was to raise awareness with Legislators who were new to our issues and answer questions about our legislative proposals. We wrapped up the day with a personal visit with Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren who has championed the cause of Family Immigration Reform.  We had very positive feedback from the offices we visited and look forward to our followup communications. 

For some American Families United members, this was the first trip to become a part of the legislative process. It was a great experience for everyone to meet our Lobbyist's, learn more about the process of a bill becoming a law and meet legislators face to face. It was a special treat for many of us to meet each other after talking on the phone for so long.
