Re: [teacherartexchange] Mastectomy Bill in Congress-Read this!

This, for once, is NOT an urban legend. This bill has been introduced
and set aside many times over the years in Congress. It is currently
being sponsored by a senator and a representative, both women. However,
much more effective than signing an Internet petition--because how can
signatures be verified?--is to send letters, faxes, and even e-mails
directly to your Congressional delegation urging their support.
